Larval antibiosis to cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is absent within oilseed rape (Brassica napus)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We screened a panel of 98 Brassicaceae genotypes (97 Brassica napus and 1 Sinapis alba) for cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) larval antibiosis. We found limited evidence for antibiosis across B. napus but consistent antibiosis in S. alba. Brassicaceae relatives may therefore better inform resistance traits for breeding.

Behavioural manipulation of the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala L): Prospects for push–pull strategies in oilseed rape

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Behavioural manipulation of Psylliodes chrysocephala provides promising opportunities for sustainable pest management in oilseed rape systems. This review synthesises evidence on glucosinolates and their volatile isothiocyanate derivatives as phagostimulants and attractants, alongside the repellent or antifeedant effects of non‐host plants, plant ...

Flea infestation in a Nigerian local chicken:

Nigerian Veterinary Journal, 2008
Fleas refer to a blood-sucking wingless insect of the Order: Siphonaptera. They are parasites in their own right and also act as vectors which transmit diseases (Soulsby, 1982). Their bites leave wounds which become portals of entry for infection. There are three important Genera fleas that infest poultry. Echidnophaga gallinacea, the small stick fast (

Intercropping with legumes can reduce insect pest pressure but does not increase yield in winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Intercropping winter oilseed rape with spring faba bean reduced cabbage stem flea beetle and pollen beetle damage but also reduced crop yield. Sowing the intercrop simultaneously with winter oilseed rape was essential to maximize crop protection against cabbage stem flea beetles. Abstract BACKGROUND Winter oilseed rape (WOSR, Brassica napus) is a major

Intercropping mitigates incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Intercropping reduces the incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex with a significant impact of the direct visual and physical disruption provided by the companion plant. Abstract BACKGROUND Oilseed rape (OSR, Brassica napus) is a major crop requiring numerous phytosanitary treatments.

Flea infestation on small wild mammals in Gharyan, Northwest Libya

Open Veterinary Journal, 2022
Fleas play a major role as vectors for many pathogens that affect humans and livestock. Wild animals, especially wild rodents, are the most important hosts, acting as reservoir hosts for many flea species and pathogens.This study aimed to identify seasonality and hosts of fleas that parasitize small wild mammals in Gharyan, north-western Libya.Fleas ...

Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.
