Use of Contaminated Habitat and Associated Selenium Uptake Mediate Haemosporidian Parasite Infections in Wild Passerine Birds

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We conducted a community‐scale field study to evaluate whether trace element contaminants derived from coal combustion residuals and nuclear fission products alter the dynamics of haemosporidian blood parasites, dipteran vectors, and avian hosts in riparian and wetland habitats in South Carolina, USA.

Diversity of biting midges Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), potential vectors of disease, in different environments in an Amazonian rural settlement, Brazil

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
INTRODUCTION: The Culicoides transmit a variety of pathogens. Our aim was to survey the Culicoides species occurring in an Amazonian rural settlement, comparing abundance, richness, and diversity in different environments.

Tracking Community Timing: Pattern and Determinants of Seasonality in Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Northern Florida

Viruses, 2020
Community dynamics are embedded in hierarchical spatial–temporal scales that connect environmental drivers with species assembly processes. Culicoides species are hematophagous arthropod vectors of orbiviruses that impact wild and domestic ruminants.

Use of entomology surveillance data for Culicoides abundance modeling in mainland France [PDF]

, 2018
In France, Culicoides surveillance was implemented in 2002 [1] in specific areas (Corsica and Mediterranean coastal mainland) and in the whole metropolitan France from 2009 to monitor vectors activity during the bluetongue epizootics. The Directorate for

First Molecular Characterisation of the Lumpy Skin Disease Virus From the North African Region, Algeria and Tunisia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Highlights • Molecular characterisation of the LSDV in Algeria and Tunisia. PCR detection of the presence of the LSDV in 77.9% of the samples collected. • Cattle skin and nasal and buccal swabs were the most virulent material. • Phylogenetic analysis using the p32 gene revealed 100% sequence identity and grouping with GenBank‐published LSDV sequences ...

WIMANET: The Power of a Network in Wildlife Malaria Research

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 11-16, January 2026.
The Wildlife Malaria Network (WIMANET) is an EU‐COST funded global network of researchers and stakeholders interested in wildlife malaria and related haemosporidian parasites. In this paper, we review WIMANET's activities to date. We hope this encourages new members to join the network and motivates both new and existing members to participate in its ...
