Incidence of fur mite infestation in laboratory rodents [PDF]

Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2016
Incidence of fur mites in laboratory rodents is reported. Among mice, infestation was found to be highest in male Swiss Albino mice followed by female Swiss Albino mice, male Balb C mice and female Balb C mice. Infestation in Guinea pigs was 50 %. None of the rats screened were found to be positive for fur mites.

Potential impacts of plant pests and diseases on trees and forests in the United Kingdom

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The UK Plant Health Risk Register (PHRR) has so far identified 581 Plant Pests and Diseases (PPDs) that could invade the United Kingdom and affect 74 tree species. The combined effects of multiple invasions on trees are little understood and seldom considered.

Effects of timed LED regimes on tomato plant traits, performance of two‐spotted spider mites, and predatory mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis)

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2300-2311, April 2025.
Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

Evaluation of GS‐omega/kappa‐Hxtx‐Hv1a and Bt toxins against Bt‐resistant and ‐susceptible strains of Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) and Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The addition of 10 μg cm−2 of Cry1Ac to the surface of GS‐omega/kappa‐Hxtx‐Hv1a (ω/κ‐Hv1a) incorporated diet can significantly increase the mortality of Cry‐resistant Helicoverpa zea compared to diets without the Cry1Ac toxin. Abstract BACKGROUND Helicoverpa zea and Spodoptera frugiperda are destructive insect pests of cotton and corn.

Virulence and biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic nematodes against soil‐dwelling stages of the small hive beetle under laboratory and semi‐field conditions

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are virulent against multiple life stages of Aethina tumida in the laboratory. EPNs significantly reduce adult emergence in natural and autoclaved sterile soil under semi‐field glasshouse conditions. Abstract BACKGROUND The small hive beetle (SHB; Aethina tumida) is a significant pest affecting honey bees and the ...

Complementarity between Orius predators improves control of foliar and flower pests

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Orius predators are commonly used against thrips in many crops. Certain species are suggested to be more effective against flower pests, while others may control effectively foliar pests. Here, we show that Orius species combinations may complement each other and effectively control both flower and foliar pests on gerbera.

Proliferative and neoplastic aural pinna masses in a collection of African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys ansorgei)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract This case series describes aural lesions occurring in five African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys ansorgei) residing at a single zoological institution in southern California. Age of onset ranged from 3 to 7 years. Lesions occurred as single or multiple masses on one or both ears. A single case also developed a nasal mass.

Granulomatous mural folliculitis and cytotoxic interface dermatitis in a pygmy goat associated with ovine herpesvirus‐2 and systemic lesions of malignant catarrhal fever

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract A 1‐year‐old pygmy goat presented with progressive alopecia, skin ulceration and lichenification over the neck, face and body. Empirical treatment for parasitic and fungal causes of skin disease did not produce clinical improvement, prompting a full diagnostic investigation.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.
