Conned by the enemy: the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae lures and kills Drosophila suzukii

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4595-4606, May 2026.
Highly pathogenic isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae attracted Drosophila suzukii. Identifying the responsible compounds for this attraction could help the development of these isolates for pest monitoring and overall pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii, commonly known as spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is a highly invasive and ...

Low exposure to positive social determinants of health increases cardiovascular mortality risk modified by allostatic load in cancer and non-cancer patients

Heliyon
Background: Allostatic load (AL) is a measure of the biological “wear and tear” or cumulative physiological effects of chronic stress exposure. High AL is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death (CVD).

Cortisol Stability at 16 and 30 Years in Urine Specimens Stored at −20°C

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to investigate whether urinary cortisol can be reliably measured after long‐term storage at −20°C, using urine samples collected in 1993 from rural Bangladeshi women, and assayed after 16 and 30 years (2009 and 2023). Methods Specimens were collected by participants, placed in coolers with ice packs, transported to a ...

Magnetoelectric Nanotherapy Achieves Complete Tumor Ablation and Prolonged Survival in Pancreatic Cancer Murine Models

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.
Magnetoelectric nanoparticles (MENPs) serve as externally controlled, MRI‐activated theranostic agents for targeted cancer therapy by inducing electric field‐based ablation in solid tumors. MENPs enable simultaneous precise tumor ablation and MRI signal modulation, allowing real‐time treatment monitoring and prediction of therapeutic outcomes with no ...

Development and Characterization of Microsatellite Genetic Markers for Hyalomma rufipes, a Tick Vector of Crimean‐Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study developed and validated 14 polymorphic microsatellite markers to investigate the population genetics of Hyalomma rufipes, a tick species that transmits Crimean‐Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) in East Africa. Ticks collected from livestock in northern Kenya were morphologically and genetically identified, followed by genome sequencing ...
