Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.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.

Environmental Drivers on Blue Tit Nest Microbiome: An Experimental Study
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Elevated humidity and temperature altered nest microbial composition and its associations with parasitism and nestling condition. These findings identify nest microclimate as an important driver of nest microbiomes with consequences for avian development.

Bacillus thuringiensis and its pest control potential as endophyte
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6931-6939, July 2026.Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) systemically colonizes tomato plants as endophyte, inducing midgut damage, fitness reduction and immune suppression in Spodoptera littoralis larvae feeding on Bt‐colonized leaves. The immune suppression enhances the susceptibility to Bt treatments, allowing a synergistic dual use of Bt commercial formulations, by combined ...
