Host–parasite relationship in urban environments: A network analysis of haemoparasite infections in Nasua nasua Linnaeus (South American coati)

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Urban environments alter host–parasite dynamics, as seen in Nasua nasua, where haemotropic Mycoplasma plays a key role in parasite spread through frequent social interactions. Network analysis revealed low modularity in interactions between N. nasua and tick‐borne haemoparasites, with functional roles unaffected by biotic factors, tick infestation or ...

The effects of sleep deprivation on susceptibility to parasitic infection in Drosophila nigrospiracula

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Sleep is important for cellular/humoral and behavioural immunity. In Drosophila mite systems, sleep deprivation reduced behavioural resistance against ectoparasitic infection. Sleep‐deprived flies exhibited lower endurance (negative geotaxis assay) and endurance is a reliable indicator of behavioural resistance against ectoparasites.

Phylogenomics reveals the timescale of diversification in Amblycera

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 540-553, July 2025.
Next‐generation sequencing changes the higher taxonomy of Amblycera (Insecta: Phthiraptera). Families Trimenoponidae and Gyropidae merge into Gyropidae; Trinotonidae is a separate family; several genera are paraphyletic. The ancestral host of Amblycera was likely a bird; Amblycera switched to mammals twice.
