Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Spanolepis selloanae (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) infests Cortaderia selloana (pampas grass). It lays eggs in the spikelets, where larvae feed on female parts. The high prevalence of the midge and its combined impact in seed production, condition and viability strongly reduces the reproductive output of C. selloana.

A longitudinal study of avian pox in a small passerine, the Dunnock (Prunella modularis)
Ibis, EarlyView.Long‐term, longitudinal studies of disease in wild bird populations are rare. Diseases are important determinants of bird survival and may spill‐over into other species including livestock and, in some cases, humans. Avian pox is a globally distributed disease, resulting from infection by viruses in the genus Avipoxvirus (APV).

Monitoring of Putative Vectors of Bluetongue Virus Serotype 8, Germany
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 To identify the vectors of bluetongue virus (BTV) in Germany, we monitored Culicoides spp. biting midges during April 2007–May 2008. Molecular characterization of batches of midges that tested positive for BTV suggests C.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Here, we used a unique 37‐year (1969–2006) freshwater macroinvertebrate time‐series, collected over seven sites in central Germany, to study biodiversity patterns and species accumulation over time. Accumulation curves of Diptera diversity have not reached a plateau in 37 years of sampling.

Design and optimisation of rapid real‐time PCR assays for the detection of key Culicoides species
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Species‐specific real‐time PCR assays were designed and optimised using primer/probe sets targeting C. obsoletus, C. scoticus, C. chiopterus, C. dewulfi, C. pulicaris, C. punctatus and C. impunctatus. Primer specificity and amplification efficiency were validated through in silico specificity analysis and real‐time PCR amplification profiling.

Come together: Data sharing to support one health responses to vector‐borne disease threats
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.A One Health framework integrating diverse data across human, animal and environmental sectors is essential for effective surveillance and response is vital for responding to vector‐borne disease risks. Communities adopting global data standards, depositing data in shared repositories, and responsible data use can significantly improve VBD data ...
