Phenology underlies inconsistent urbanization effects on avian malaria (Leucocytozoon sp.) in juvenile songbirds

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Urbanization can modify species interactions, including those between parasites and their hosts. In birds, urbanization can either increase or decrease avian malaria (haemosporidian) infection, depending on host species, parasite, or study location. However, temporal coordination between parasites and hosts, which may impact infection outcomes,

Measuring between-farm variation in Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) density, the vectors of bluetongue virus [PDF]

, 2014
Culicoides midges are ubiquitous on farms in the UK, but little research has explored their abundance, an important determinant of disease risk. Models to explain and predict variation in their abundance are needed for effective targeting of control ...

Infection with Mansonella perstans Nematodes in Buruli Ulcer Patients, Ghana. [PDF]

, 2014
During August 2010-December 2012, we conducted a study of patients in Ghana who had Buruli ulcer, caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, and found that 23% were co-infected with Mansonella perstans nematodes; 13% of controls also had M. perstans infection. M.

A natural barrier: tick‐repellent potential of a spruce‐derived volatile blend against Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1481-1491, February 2026.
Both active and passive questing ticks, Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus, were assessed for behavioural responses to two novel plant‐derived repellent volatile organic compound blends. Both tick species were repelled by the products, and both novo blends were significantly more repellent than currently available commercial products.

Control of Bovicola equi infestation in a herd of horses using an environmentally sustainable treatment protocol

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract In March 2024, a Slovenian warmblood gelding presented with severe pruritus and skin lesions throughout its head, neck and around the base of the tail. The owners had observed increased pruritus in multiple animals within the herd. After careful examination, Bovicola equi were found in all five horses, but not the pony.

Culicoides species community composition and feeding preferences in two aquatic ecosystems in northern Spain

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Aquatic ecosystems provide breeding sites for blood-sucking insects such as Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), but factors affecting their distribution and host choice are poorly understood.

Come from away: Reconstructing a long‐range migratory flight of spruce budworm moths to Newfoundland, Canada Venues de loin : reconstitution d'un vol migratoire de longue distance de tordeuses des bourgeons de l'épinette vers Terre‐Neuve, au Canada

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 41-58, February 2026.
Lagrangian atmospheric models were used in conjunction with ecophysiological factors to reconstruct the path and meteorological conditions of a long‐range migration flight of spruce budworm moths to Newfoundland, Canada. Moths travelled under high winds and warm temperatures that favoured their migratory flight until encountering cooler temperatures ...
