Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.In social insect colonies, diseased or dead brood is identified and removed by workers to prevent the infection of the whole colony. Here, bumble bee larvae exposed to a bacterium (Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. aizawai (strain: ABTS‐1857)) based biopesticide were removed more frequently than wounded or untreated control larvae. This shows that bumble bee

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.This study explores the diversity in cell morphology and growth behaviours of three Melissococcus plutonius strains, the causative agent of European foulbrood, employing electron microscopy and expression analysis of glycan‐binding protein candidate genes. Our results illustrate the mechanism of cell separation and the formation of individual cocci and

Biocontrol for Shrimp Disease: Comprehensive Review and a Bacterial Disease Biocontrol Practice
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Biocontrol is a key strategy for disease control, as it is environmentally friendly and widely applicable. This review elaborates on biocontrol in aquaculture, particularly in shrimp culture. Biocontrol in shrimp culture mainly relies on four strategies: (i) direct kill pathogen by Bdellovibrio or bacteriophages; (ii) suppression of intestinal

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2026.Frass derived from black soldier fly larvae reared on various industrial side streams was investigated in both untreated and hygienised (1 h at 70°C) condition. Hygienisation efficacy was evaluated by determination of viable microbial counts, using both selective and non‐selective cultivation media.
