New county records of chewing lice (Mallophaga) on birds in Florida [PDF]
, 2002 County records for avian lice are less significant than the host records themselves. Considering that most avian lice are host specific, the county records should resemble the area the host would most likely be encountered. Nonetheless, the list cited in

Pubic Lice (Pthirus pubis): History, Biology and Treatment vs. Knowledge and Beliefs of US College Students [PDF]
, 2009 Pubic lice (Pthirus pubis) maintain a worldwide parasitic population infesting two to over 10 percent of human populations, continuing a presence that has been constant since early evidence 10,000 years ago. Outbreaks in the 1970s have been recorded, but

Challenges and opportunities in mitigating sarcoptic mange in wild South American camelids
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Wild South American camelids—vicuña and guanaco—face threats from sarcoptic mange, a contagious skin disease linked to severe population declines. Despite its impact, major gaps remain in understanding disease dynamics. This review summarizes current knowledge, identifies key data and management gaps, and outlines urgent actions for effective ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The bed bug olfactory system is highly tuned to two odor sources with dedicated odor information‐processing pathways that are modulated by the satiety–hunger state. Understanding the dynamic nature of switching odor preferences at different phases of blood digestion will contribute to the development of lures with host kairomones and aggregation ...

Present and future potential of plant-derived products to control arthropods of veterinary and medical significance [PDF]
, 2014 The use of synthetic pesticides and repellents to target pests of veterinary and medical significance is becoming increasingly problematic. One alternative approach employs the bioactive attributes of plant-derived products (PDPs). These are particularly

World Medical &Health Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article aims to sort out the meaning of the term “health nationalism,” operationalize this term and analyze this phenomenon in opposition to the cosmopolitan health policy model. Here, health nationalism is treated as a serious obstacle to access to healthcare and a cultural‐ideological barrier to equity in global public health. Two ideal
