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, EarlyView.
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.

The effects of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) on tropical stream food webs vary between two consecutive dry seasons

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Bti application altered tropical stream food‐web structure through changes in macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups. Collector‐filterers and predators showed context‐dependent responses, with clearer direct and indirect effects detected in 2016, the year with higher rainfall.

Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

Larviciding to prevent malaria transmission

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2019
Larviciding refers to the regular application of chemical or microbial insecticides to water bodies or water containers to kill the aquatic immature forms of the mosquito (the larvae and pupae).To summarize research evidence evaluating whether larviciding with chemical or microbial insecticides prevents malaria transmission.We searched the Cochrane ...

From Past Outbreaks to Future Threats: Detecting Medical Conspiracy Theories With LLMs and Limited Labels

Expert Systems, Volume 43, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Online dissemination of conspiracy theories (CTs) during epidemics poses significant risks to public health. This paper addresses the problem of detecting CTs in social media posts with an emphasis on the resource‐constrained scenarios characterized by the scarcity of labelled datasets and expert annotations, and the lack of computational ...

Drones for Area-Wide Larval Source Management of Malaria Mosquitoes

Drones, 2022
Given the stagnating progress in the fight against malaria, there is an urgent need for area-wide integrated vector management strategies to complement existing intra-domiciliary tools, i.e., insecticide-treated bednets and indoor residual spraying.
