Public health reforms and the mortality decline in nineteenth‐century Italy

The Economic History Review, Volume 79, Issue 2, Page 527-554, May 2026.
Abstract This study examines the impact of Italy's 1887–8 health reforms on mortality, contributing to the historical debate on the state's role in Europe's health transition. Leveraging event‐study‐style difference‐in‐differences approach, we assess the effectiveness of the Crispi–Pagliani reforms, which strengthened public health governance and ...

Detecting a Small Hive Beetle's eDNA in Honeybee Colonies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 277-284, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Early detection is important to limit the spread of invasive species. Molecular diagnosis using eDNA can be useful in this regard, but the sensitivity is often unknown. This holds true for small hive beetles (SHB), which are parasites of honeybee (HB) colonies and continue to spread globally.

Disarticulations in Naples: Cultural political ecology, the green transition, and labour unrest at a Whirlpool factory

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract This article develops a cultural political ecology approach to disarticulations and labour unrest. The reference point for analysis is a struggle at a Whirlpool factory in Naples that the company announced would close in 2019, six months after signing an agreement with the Italian government, including a multi‐million investment plan.

Real-time PCR detection of Toxoplasma gondii in tissue samples of wild boars (Sus scrofa) from southern Italy reveals high prevalence and parasite load

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii, a widespread protozoan in the phylum Apicomplexa. In Europe, several studies have demonstrated the presence of the parasite in tissues of wild boars (Sus scrofa), but ...

Integrated Genomic and Epidemiological Surveillance to Monitor SARS‐CoV‐2 Variants in Italy: Insights From the JN.1 Case Study (2023–2024)

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The epidemiology of SARS‐CoV‐2 is marked by the continuous emergence of new lineages. Early detection and assessment of their transmissibility can be challenging for surveillance systems that rely solely on case time series data. Genomic surveillance, focusing on identifying and characterizing circulating variants, can provide early insights ...

Island Life and Interspecific Dynamics Influence Body Size, Distribution and Ecological Niche of Long‐Eared Bats

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Island ecosystems represent a paramount opportunity to investigate interspecific interactions and ecological niche dynamics under constrained conditions. This study investigates how insularity and species coexistence influence the spatial distribution, ecological niche differentiation, and morphological adaptations of long‐eared bats ...
