Three new Scandinavian species of Culicoides (Culicoides): Culicoides boyi sp. nov., Culicoides selandicus sp. nov. and Culicoides kalix sp. nov. (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).

Biodiversity data journal, 2015
In the context of a major monitoring program of Culicoides in Denmark and Sweden due to the appearance of bluetongue disease in 2007-2008, a large number of specimens were collected by light traps and sorted morphologically, with COI barcodes generated for selected specimens.Three species are described as new to science based on both morphological and ...

Environmental Drivers on Blue Tit Nest Microbiome: An Experimental Study

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Elevated humidity and temperature altered nest microbial composition and its associations with parasitism and nestling condition. These findings identify nest microclimate as an important driver of nest microbiomes with consequences for avian development.

Diversity of Culicoides Latreille, 1809 (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) associated with chicken sheds in Governador Valadares, Brazil: description of a new species within the Culicoides paraensis species group

Boletín de la Asociación Española de Entomología
Culicoides biting midges (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) are vectors of pathogens, including the emerging Oropouche virus in Latin America. Large areas of Brazil remain poorly surveyed in terms of species diversity.

Spatial Distribution and Host‐Specific Patterns of Avian Haemosporidian Infections in a Semi‐Arid Region of Northeastern Iran

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
A survey of 263 birds across 10 species in Semnan Province, Iran, revealed a 22.1% prevalence of avian haemosporidian infections, dominated by Haemoproteus spp. Pigeons showed significantly higher infection risk. Spatial analysis identified clustering in Shahroud County, suggesting local climatic and ecological conditions influence parasite ...

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 24: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.
