Pests for Dinner: Dietary Composition of Insectivorous Bats in a Fragmented Tropical Dry Forest

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Insectivorous bats are key predators of a wide array of arthropods, including species that act as disease vectors and pests, yet such ecological roles remain poorly studied in tropical regions. In this study, we aimed to describe the diet of five insectivorous bat species from the genera Balantiopteryx, Myotis, Mormoops, and Pteronotus inhabiting a ...

Frog‐biting midges and mosquitoes: Comparative insights from the Oriental and Sino‐Japanese regions

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review synthetizes current knowledge of frog‐biting mosquitoes and midges in the Oriental region and Japan, revealing strong geographic biases in research despite shared amphibian lineages. We highlight key knowledge gaps to guide future studies. Abstract Frog‐biting mosquitoes (Culicidae) and midges (Corethrellidae) are old hematophagous lineages

Spatiotemporal patterns in British racing and equestrian sports: Implications for pathogen transmission

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 497-507, March 2026.
Abstract Background The widespread assumption that there is minimal potential for pathogen transmission between British racehorse and sport horse populations remains unverified by empirical evidence. Objectives To characterise spatiotemporal patterns of horse attendance at racing and other sport events in Great Britain in 2018.

Genetic Surveillance Reveals Differential Evolutionary Dynamic of Anopheles gambiae Under Contrasting Insecticidal Tools Used in Malaria Control

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Malaria, a febrile disease caused by the Plasmodium parasites and transmitted by mosquitoes, is a leading cause of mortality in children under 5 in endemic countries. The widespread deployment of insecticide‐treated bed nets (ITNs) has significantly reduced malaria transmission, but rising levels of insecticide resistance threaten to halt the ...

NAD+ Homeostasis Attenuates Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infection Progression

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
JEV infection in brain tissue triggers inflammation and stress in neuronal cells, leading to NAD+ depletion via the overactivation of PARPs and SIRTs. While compensatory biosynthetic pathways (de novo and salvage) were upregulated, the NAD+ level fell critically. In vitro NAMPT inhibition exacerbates this deficit and viral load.
