Our Changing Climate Is Presenting Major Challenges to the Great Lakes Region
JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT The Earth's climate, including that of North America, is changing rapidly and the corresponding changes in temperature, precipitation, extreme weather, and other effects are accelerating. This changing climate is affecting the region around the Great Lakes and the physical behavior of the Great Lakes themselves, presenting new challenges to ...

A contribution to a knowledge of Canadian ticks [PDF]
, 2008 During recent years our knowledge of the biology and distribution of the ticks has greatly increased owing to the discovery of the economic importance of this group as carriers of certain serious diseases to man and domesticated animals. In North America

Dual Disruption of the Immune Cytokine Spätzle Facilitates Fungal Infection of Diverse Insect Hosts
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, 5 January 2026.The Toll pathway is essential for insect defense against fungal pathogens. This works reports that fungal parasites employ two divergent virulent effectors to target the Toll receptor ligand Spätzle: a metalloprotease degrading it and a hairpin‐like effector hijacking it to block signal transduction. This dual strategy enables the fungus to kill a wide

When is a parasite not a parasite? Effects of larval tick burdens on white-footed mouse survival [PDF]
, 2014 Many animal species can carry considerable burdens of ectoparasites: parasites living on the outside of a host's body. Ectoparasite infestation can decrease host survival, but the magnitude and even direction of survival effects can vary depending on the

Predictive Modelling of Tick Distribution: A Machine Learning Approach to Ixodes ricinus Abundance
Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT The resurgence of tick‐borne diseases necessitates predictive frameworks that integrate both high accuracy and ecological relevance. This study develops a comprehensive machine learning pipeline to forecast the occurrence of Ixodes ricinus, a principal tick vector in Europe, leveraging high‐dimensional climatic, environmental, and land‐use ...

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) can be transmitted alimentarily through contaminated dairy products, yet the mechanisms by which the virus survives the digestive tract remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the stability of TBEV in milk under simulated gastrointestinal conditions.

Comparison of synthetic membranes in the development of an in vitro feeding system for Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]
, 2010 Although artificial feeding models for the poultry red mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) most frequently use biological membranes consisting of day-old chick skin, there are ethical considerations associated with the use of skin.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 1066-1078, January 2026.We propose the regulatory particle non‐ATPase subunit 6 of the 26S proteasome as a first good promising RNA interference target candidate to control the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica. This will help to optimize a double‐stranded RNA insecticide against this priority pest with low off‐target effects on pollinators on a gene sequence‐based prediction.
