Synergistic attraction: Development and field evaluation of a multicomponent lure for Zeugodacus cucurbitae based on host‐plant volatiles and gut bacterium‐derived volatiles

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6919-6930, July 2026.
The newly developed ternary blend was validated in field trials and proved highly effective in attracting both male and female Zeugodacus cucurbitae. Abstract BACKGROUND Zeugodacus cucurbitae is a global quarantine pest. Management of this pest relies heavily on chemical insecticides, which impose substantial environmental burdens. Male‐specific lures [

High‐Throughput Sequencing Analysis Reveals a Novel Varicosavirus Associated With Vein Yellowing Disease in Cucurbita pepo

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
In 2022, vein yellowing symptoms appeared in a zucchini crop in Greece. High‐throughput sequencing revealed the presence of a novel varicosavirus. There is a strong association of the novel virus, putatively named as cucurbit vein yellowing‐associated varicosavirus (CVYaV), with the symptoms observed on zucchini plants in the field.
