Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9974-9983, October 2026.Vadescana is a novel dsRNA‐based product that targets Varroa fecundity. Vadescana applied at 4 g/brood box in one application was most effective at reducing Varroa populations for up to 18 weeks. Abstract BACKGROUND A novel dsRNA‐based product, containing a molecule called vadescana, interferes with Varroa destructor (Anderson and Trueman) fecundity ...

Comparing Drone and Vessel‐Based Imaging to Quantify Epibiont Coverage on Humpback Whales
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Cetacean epibionts offer noninvasive insights into host health, physiology, and spatial ecology, yet quantitative assessments in wild populations remain scarce. Although vessel‐based observations may be limited by field of view and analyst input, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs; drones) are increasingly used to monitor cetacean health indices,

Systemic veterinary drugs for control of the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius, in poultry farms
Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Background The common bed bug, Cimex lectularius L., is a hematophagous ectoparasite that was a common pest in poultry farms through the 1960s. Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and organophosphates eradicated most infestations, but concurrent with ...

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Ectoparasites that penetrate host skin can act as biological or mechanical vectors for pathogens and, in some cases, serve as reservoirs. Crustacean ectoparasites of fish are potential vectors of pathogens, which is especially relevant for obligate pathogens (e.g., Aeromonas salmonicida) with limited seawater survival. Sea lice (Lepeophtheirus

Trait‐Based Drivers of Host Specificity in Freshwater Mussel–Fish Parasitic Interactions
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Freshwater mussels (Unionidae) rely on an obligate parasitic larval stage on fish hosts, yet their host specificity remains poorly understood in a broader ecological and evolutionary context. By integrating phylogenetic, life‐history, and host‐use data, we show that host phylogenetic specificity is conserved but varies systematically with mussel life ...

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT Despite the importance of understanding mite–bee interactions, standardized and noninvasive methods for sampling mite communities in stingless bee hives remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate a novel, low‐cost sampling technique using a custom‐built suction device, the Portable Mite Aspirator (PMA), for collecting mites from hives of ...
