The Interactive Effect of Pesticides, Heat Stress, and Population on the Performance of a Mite Pest, Tetranychus Urticae

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 1, Page 56-66, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Global warming is a cause for concern and is predicted to diversely affect agricultural systems. One aspect of the predicted effects is the susceptibility of pests to chemical pesticides. It is therefore crucial to study the reaction of pests to different pesticide compounds under different temperatures in order to better predict how those ...

UK mosquitoes are competent to transmit Usutu virus at native temperatures

One Health
Usutu virus (USUV) is an emerging zoonotic virus transmitted primarily by Culex mosquitoes. Since its introduction into Europe from Africa during the late 20th century, it has caused mortality within populations of passerine birds and captive owls, and ...

A blood safety perspective on emerging arboviral infections in the United Kingdom

Transfusion Medicine, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 10-19, February 2026.
Abstract A core focus of the blood services is to maintain the blood supply whilst simultaneously being vigilant for potential threats to blood safety. At present, West Nile virus (WNV), Usutu virus (USUV), Dengue virus (DENV) and Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) are considered primary arboviral threats to blood safety in the UK and Northern Europe.

Vector Potential Index: Bridging Competence and Contribution as an Integrative Measure of Relative Transmission Capability

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
The Vector Potential Index (VPI) is a novel metric for evaluating and comparing the potential of blood‐feeding arthropod vectors to contribute to zoonotic vector‐borne disease transmission. Taking a meta‐analysis approach, the VPI combines vector competence and host use data obtained from scientific literature to assign relative and absolute VPI ranks ...

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host‐Specificity and Threats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...
