Diversity and Distribution Patterns of Insects in Nigeria: A GBIF‐Based Appraisal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Insect diversity in Nigeria is high, with 5880 species. Diversity differs between biomes. Current diversity represents ~21 of the estimated ‘true’ diversity. ABSTRACT Insects provide essential ecosystem services and are key indicators of ecosystem health.

Identification of the Genome Segments of Bluetongue Virus Type 26/Type 1 Reassortants Influencing Horizontal Transmission in a Mouse Model

Viruses, 2021
Bluetongue virus serotypes 1 to 24 are transmitted primarily by infected Culicoides midges, in which they also replicate. However, “atypical” BTV serotypes (BTV-25, -26, -27 and -28) have recently been identified that do not infect and replicate in adult

Secreted Nonstructural Protein 3 is a Pathogenic Determinant of Orbivirus

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 42, 28 July 2026.
This study uncovers a conserved PIP2‐dependent secretory pathway of orbivirus NS3 that induces vascular leakage. Pharmacological disruption of PIP2‐NS3 interaction significantly reduces viral pathogenicity and provides protective efficacy in murine models, establishing PIP2‐mediated NS3 secretion as both a key virulence determinant and a promising ...

Bluetongue Virus Infections in Cattle Herds of Manabí Province of Ecuador

Pathogens, 2021
Bluetongue (BT) is a viral disease transmitted by Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) to domestic and wild ruminants. Infections in cattle are mainly subclinical, but severe necrotic and hemorrhagic illness and death may occur depending on the strain ...

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 24: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.
