Transmission of chlamydiae by the housefly. [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1981
The ability of the housefly to carry viable Chlamydia trachomatis and to transmit a chlamydial ocular infection was studied under laboratory conditions. After feeding flies (Musca domestica) on suspensions of egg yolk sac infected with C. trachomatis serotypes A or B (responsible for hyperendemic trachoma) the agents were reisolated from flies ...

Diversity of the Microbiomes in the Larval and Adult Stages of the European Cherry Fruit Fly (Rhagoletis cerasi) and Identification of Potential Biocontrol Candidate Taxa

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 999-1010, September 2026.
First comprehensive characterization of the R. cerasi microbiome is reported. Stage‐specific variations in microbial composition are documented. Multiple bacterial entomopathogen taxa are identified as potential biocontrol candidates for R. cerasi.

Collagen Hydrolysates From Tilapia Skin: Discovery of LGPL as a Bioactive Peptide Targeting RPN2 to Attenuate UVB‐Induced Photoaging

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
The key findings and main message of the work: (1) A novel collagen tetrapeptide LGPL with potent anti‐photoaging activity was identified. (2) LGPL mitigates skin photoaging by promoting cellular repair, reducing oxidative stress, and enhancing Type I collagen synthesis. (3) RPN2 is confirmed as the direct intracellular target of LGPL.

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.

How dispersal and habitat quality shape aquatic–terrestrial metacommunities

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Current changes in land use, predominantly from agriculture and urbanization, affect both habitat quality and species dispersal ability. Understanding how these factors influence species distributions in aquatic–terrestrial metacommunities is critical for predicting community dynamics.

Efficient Separation and Purification of Oligosaccharides: A Systematic Review on Principles and Applications of Membrane Separation Technology

Food Bioengineering, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 290-313, June 2026.
Membrane separation provides a green and scalable route for oligosaccharide purification. This review summarizes the complementary roles of microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis, with emphasis on membrane selection, optimization of operating conditions, fouling control, and integrated cascade design for improving purity,

Exploring Floristic Diversity and Medicinal Plant Uses in Venda, Limpopo, South Africa

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants have been an important source of medicine for thousands of years. To better understand the current diversity and usage of medicinal plants, floristic studies are essential. This report documents an expedition conducted in the Venda region of Limpopo, South Africa. The study was carried out in Shanzha and surrounding villages, as well as

Sex Determination in Sponges

Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 93, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Sex determination in Porifera remains one of the least understood aspects of early metazoan biology despite the group's key phylogenetic position. Sponges display exceptional diversity in sexual systems—ranging from stable gonochorism to sequential hermaphroditism and sex reversal—yet lack morphological dimorphism and any discrete gonadal ...
