The use of RNA interference for the management of arthropod pests in livestock farms L'uso di RNA interferente per il controllo degli artropodi infestanti negli allevamenti

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 631-646, December 2023., 2023
Problems caused by arthropod pests to livestock production are increasing due to new legal restrictions on pesticide use, insurgence of resistance to insecticides in pest populations and climate change. RNA interference (RNAi) is a novel approach to pest control based on specific gene silencing in target species, characterised by a selective action ...

Species diversity and detection of pathogens in phlebotomine sand flies collected from forest management areas of Quintana Roo, Mexico

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 845-858, December 2023., 2023
We compared sand fly communities of a forest reserve with those of forest management areas in Mexico to determine their species diversity (α and β) and determined peaks of activity. During the windy and dry season, the abundance of anthropophilic sand fly species is negatively correlated with the temperature and positively correlated with relative ...

Prevalence and incidence of canine visceral leishmaniasis and its clinical–immunological features in an endemic area of the Brazilian Amazon

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 2463-2474, November 2023., 2023
The canine Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi‐infection has a strong impact on the health of dogs by making a high number of dogs susceptible to visceral leishmaniasis before 2 years of age. The incidence of canine infection revealed that 6.6% of dogs/month acquire the infection before completing 1 year of life.

Allergy to stings and bites from rare or locally important arthropods: Worldwide distribution, available diagnostics and treatment

Allergy, Volume 78, Issue 8, Page 2089-2108, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Insect venom allergy is the most frequent cause of anaphylaxis in Europe and possibly worldwide. The majority of systemic allergic reactions after insect stings are caused by Hymenoptera, and among these, vespid genera induce most of the systemic sting reactions (SSR). Honey bees are the second leading cause of SSR.

Enzootic transmission of Leishmania spp. in gallery forests of the Brazilian Cerrado [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Gallery forests harbor mammals and sand flies that may be involved in the transmission of Leishmania spp. parasites. Characterizing the enzootic cycles of Leishmania spp. is essential for understanding its transmission dynamics.
