Plant functional diversity does not dilute virus infection, but community virus prevalence positively correlates with net C3 grass production

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study examines if plant functional diversity dilutes plant virus prevalence in grass hosts and evaluates how virus prevalence influences net community and host production. Functional diversity did not mitigate or amplify virus prevalence. While we found that species relationships between virus prevalence and production varied, overall, virus ...

Weaving knowledges to support wildlife health surveillance in Kenya's pastoral rangelands

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract In wildlife–livestock–human interfaces, pathogens capable of spreading between wild and domestic animals and humans have important implications for conservation outcomes, economics, and public health. Robust wildlife health surveillance can help address these risks.

Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
Over half of emerging human pathogens originate from wildlife, with rodents serving as key zoonotic hosts. This study used ecological trait‐based models to identify rodent traits associated with arenavirus and hepacivirus infections and detect potential host species across the Americas, our models achieve high predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.92–0.96).

Sustainable control of Dalbulus maidis: A field study with entomopathogenic fungi

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 11, Page 1156-1164, November 2025.
Dalbulus maidis, a plant pathogen vector, poses a serious threat to maize production and food security. We investigated the potential synergistic effects between formulations based on entomopathogenic fungi and corn hybrids with varying resistance to maize stunt complex and Maize rayado fino virus. The combined management of M. anisopliae + B. bassiana

Using Environmental DNA Sampling for Simultaneous Detection of Hosts and Their Pathogens: A Case Study With the Critically Endangered Frog Genus Atelopus

Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 663-674, October 2025.
Environmental DNA is a powerful tool for simultaneous detection of rare species and their pathogens. We confirmed the presence of Atelopus at multiple sampling locations and found that the concentration of the amphibian pathogen Bd in eDNA samples was correlated with stream characteristics and the pathogen load of the amphibian community.

Implications of Tobacco Use on Pathogen‐Driven Diseases: A Public Health and Policy Perspective

World Medical &Health Policy, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 468-474, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The tobacco epidemic remains one of the most significant global public health challenges, responsible for over 8 million deaths annually, with a substantial portion occurring among non‐smokers exposed to second‐hand smoke. While cigarette smoking remains the most prevalent form of tobacco use worldwide, the rise of electronic nicotine delivery
