Advice on animal and public health risks of insects reared on former foodstuffs as raw material for animal feed

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In the coming decades, there is expected to be a sharply increased demand for dietary proteins for humans and animals. As a result, there is an increasing focus on reared insects as a new source of protein. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), the use of food chain residual flows such as former foodstuffs as

Determining the season of death from the family composition of insects infesting carrion

European Journal of Entomology, 2011
Determining the season of death by means of the composition of the families of insects infesting carrion is rarely attempted in forensic studies and has never been statistically modelled.

Ancient and modern hybridization between Lucilia sericata and L. cuprina (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2013
There are important but inconsistent differences in breeding site preference between the blow flies Lucilia sericata (Meigen, 1826) and L. cuprina (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) that have significance for medical and veterinary science. These

Gut Microbiome Characterisation of Chrysomya megacephala: Isolation, Identification, Antibiotic Profiling, and Initial Documentation of Leclercia adecarboxylata from the Fly

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
Chrysomya megacephala, known for its vector potential, harbors a diverse microbiota crucial in understanding disease transmission dynamics. Herein, we report the first documentation of Leclercia adecarboxylata isolated from C. megacephala.

Mixed effects of urbanization on pollination services among four native plant species

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1184-1195, December 2025.
We tested urbanization and fragmentation effects on pollination services using four native phytometer species that were deployed across 10 community gardens located in suburban and densely urbanized areas Landscape context generally did not influence pollination; however, for one of four phytometers (Lobelia siphilitica, pictured above) urban cover ...

Establishment of transgenic Drosophila suzukii lines that express phiC31 integrase and carry the sepia gene as a marker for transformation

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 960-969, December 2025.
Germline transformation of the Drosophila suzukii se1 strain with the wild‐type sepia gene (~1.8 kb) using a piggyBac vector. Most lines show full rescue of sepia mutant eye colour. The lines express phage phiC31 integrase in the germline using a Dsnanos promoter.

The Hidden Diptera Diversity in Aristolochia Trap‐Flowers: Revealing the Identity of Pollinators Through Taxonomic Knowledge

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1502-1512, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Although Diptera is one of the most diverse insect orders with a high potential for pollinating plants, it remains poorly studied and neglected. This is partly due to limited taxonomic efforts in species identification. For instance, despite being primary pollinators of trap flowers, species‐level identification in these systems remains scarce.
