Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.The biology of gall‐forming fergusoninid flies and their obligate nematode mutualists suggests strict vertical transmission of nematodes between fly generations. Using mitochondrial sequence data to associate fly and nematode haplotypes, we found widespread intraspecific horizontal transfer in multiple species.

Salmon lice infestations on sea trout predicts infestations on migrating salmon post-smolts [PDF]
, 2017 Impacts of sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis or Caligus spp.) on wild salmonids is currently one of the most important issues facing management of fish farms in salmon producing countries in the northern hemisphere.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.We analysed over 100,000 migrating birds from 157 species to identify macroecological drivers of interspecific variation in louse fly prevalence. Using phylogenetically informed Bayesian models, we show that host morphology, ecology and biogeographic traits shape infection patterns, with Ornithomya avicularia and O.

Exploring Floristic Diversity and Medicinal Plant Uses in Venda, Limpopo, South Africa
Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Plants have been an important source of medicine for thousands of years. To better understand the current diversity and usage of medicinal plants, floristic studies are essential. This report documents an expedition conducted in the Venda region of Limpopo, South Africa. The study was carried out in Shanzha and surrounding villages, as well as

Body lice and bed bug co-infestation in an emergency department patient, Ohio, USA
IDCases, 2020 Body lice and bed bugs are hematophagous insects that parasitize humans. Body lice are established vectors of several bacterial pathogens (e.g. Bartonella quintana, Borrelia recurrentis).

Marine Parasite Biogeography Mirrors Host Patterns Across Latitude, Area, and Diversity
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.Parasites are integral components of biodiversity, yet they remain poorly represented in large‐scale biogeographic theory. In this study, we test whether marine parasites follow three macroecological patterns established for free‐living taxa, namely that parasite species richness: (1) scales positively with area (both host body size and geographic area)
