Pathology associated with larval Eustrongylides sp. (Nematoda: Dioctophymatoidea) infection in Galaxias maculatus (Actinopterygii: Galaxiidae) from Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]
Helminth infections within tissues tend to be subjected to a host response that can include encapsulation and melanization to isolate the parasite. The effectiveness of this response depends on the host species. During a survey of parasites of the native

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Testing the sustainability of stockless arable organic farming on a fertile soil (OF0145) [PDF]
This is the final report of Defra project OF0145. If organic farming is to expand in the arable east of England, where the knowledge, infrastructure and capital for livestock are not available, viable stockless systems will be needed.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Efficacy of Essential Oils of Thymus vulgaris and Origanum vulgare on Echinococcus granulosus [PDF]
The aim of the present work was to determine the in vitro effect of T. vulgaris and O. vulgare essential oils against E. granulosus protoscoleces and cysts. Essential oils were added to the medium resulting in thymol final concentrations of 10 μg/mL. The

Abstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and

Electron microscopy‐based three‐dimensional subcellular imaging of plant male gametophyte
The Aquilos2 Cryo‐FIB workflows provide practical routes for cryo‐electron tomography and volume imaging in plant structural biology. ABSTRACT Understanding cellular events in three dimensions (3D) is of great importance for the annotation and illustration of biological processes in a contextual way. Imaging techniques based on electron microscopy (EM),

The phytohormone auxin plays a crucial role in the development of so-called syncytia induced by cyst nematodes upon feeding on plant roots. However, it is unknown whether nematode-derived auxin contributes to plant parasitism by cyst nematodes. To do so,
