Understanding Mosquito Vector Invasion Pathways: Synergistic Effects of Human Mobility, Climate and Natural Dispersal

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
Mosquito‐borne diseases are increasing globally, driven by the expanding range of invasive vectors, yet the mechanisms of their spread remain poorly understood. Using 20 years of invasion data from Spain, we combine high‐resolution human mobility data with a metapopulation model to study the colonisation dynamics of Aedes albopictus.

Pollution‐Driven Selection in a Non‐Biting Midge: Genome‐Wide Responses to Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis and Copper

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 3, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Riparian ecosystems are vital interfaces between aquatic and terrestrial environments but are increasingly impacted by anthropogenic pollution. In these systems, merolimnic insects serve as crucial ecological links, occupying aquatic habitats as larvae and terrestrial environments as adults, thus being an essential food source in both ...

Development of a Novel Aedes aegypti Repellent: An Integrated Approach Combining In Silico and Bioassays

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
OBP1 plays an essential role in the behavior response of Aedes aegypti. The computational approaches employed herein suggest a compound with repellency activity in the ZINC database, which was confirmed by bioassays. ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti is the most important vector of arboviruses, which are responsible for 3.9 billion cases worldwide.

Chemical Composition and Antibacterial Potential of Lavandula latifolia and Lavandula angustifolia Essential Oils Against Bacillus cereus Isolated From Pipelines of Dairy Industry

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
1,8‐Cineole, limonene, and camphor were abundant in Algerian Lavandula latifolia essential oil, whereas linalol and linalyl acetate were in Lavandula angustifolia. MIC and MBC results revealed L. latifolia oil was the most effective against Bacillus cereus. Hexyl butyrate and lavandulyl acetate, among others, bound efficiently to the active site of the

Potential Use of Papaya Flower Extract (Carica papaya Linn) for Aedes Aegypti Larvicide

, 2023
Introduction: Temefos as a larvicide to prevent dengue hemorrhagic fever is known to be resistant to Aedes aegypti larvae in several regions in Indonesia. Therefore, alternative larvicides are needed. Papaya plants are one of the alternative solutions as
