Survey of Smallholder Dairy Cattle Farming System and Antibiotic Residues in Raw Cow's Milk in Bagamoyo District, Tanzania

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Smallholder dairy farmers in Tanzania face livestock disease challenges that drive imprudent antimicrobial use and fuel antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In Bagamoyo, poor husbandry and limited disease control result in high prevalence of vector‐borne infections, commonly treated with oxytetracycline (OTC).

Effect of blood meals and mating on biodemographic characteristics of Aedes albopictus

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 446-459, September 2026.
Lifespan did not differ between virgin and mated males and females. The number of blood meals (one and two) significantly reduced adult lifespan compared with those with no blood meal. The effect of the second blood meal doubled females' egg production and their reproductive output.

Sabadilla (Schoenocaulon officinale) as a modern green pesticide crop within a novel commercialization framework

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract The mounting health, environmental, and resistance challenges posed by synthetic insecticides have renewed interest in botanically derived “green pesticides.” Schoenocaulon officinale (sabadilla), a geophytic perennial native to Mesoamerica with >2000 years of documented insecticidal use, remains undomesticated.
