Controlling Ectoparasites on Welsh Organic Sheep Farms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
1. Organophosphate (OP) based dips offer a broad spectrum control against all major ectoparasites in the UK. However, there is continuing controversy over the safety to dip operators and the environment. The use of OPs is prohibited by organic standards,

Co‐phylogeny and biogeography of the myrmecophilous beetle Paussus favieri (Carabidae, Paussinae) and its host ant Pheidole pallidula (Hymenoptera, Myrmicinae)

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Strict patterns of co‐divergence have rarely been documented other than among organisms and their symbionts. In this paper, using a molecular approach, we inferr the population‐level phylogenies of a Mediterranean ant species Pheidole pallidula and its nest parasite, the obligate myrmecophilous beetle Paussus favieri. We then investigate the role of co‐

Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”.

Strategies for the control of Rhipicephalus microplus ticks in a world of conventional acaricide and macrocyclic lactone resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Infestations with the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus, constitute the most important ectoparasite problem for cattle production in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, resulting in major economic losses. The control of R.

Insect and Mice Infestations in Gaza Displacement Camps: A Field‐Based Study on Vector‐Borne Diseases Amid the 2023–2025 Gaza War

open access: yesPublic Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2025.
GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT Conflict‐driven destruction in Gaza has caused water and sanitation collapse, leading to infestations of rodents and insects, escalating public health risks among displaced populations. ABSTRACT The current study investigates the severe environmental and public health impacts resulting from the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip ...
