Control of phlebotomine (Diptera: Psychodidae) leishmaniasis vectors [PDF]

Neotropical Entomology, 2009
Phlebotomines are of medical and veterinary concern as they vector leishmaniasis, bartonellosis and some arboviruses. The adaptations of some species to places modified by humans bring these vectors into contact with dwellings, which can facilitate disease transmission, and the vector control strategies adopted have rendered controversial results ...

Serosurveillance of Leishmania infantum in Zoo‐Kept Animals in Spain

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 65-73, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Leishmaniosis is a sand fly‐borne zoonosis mainly caused by Leishmania infantum in Europe. Exposure to this protozoan has been widely reported in many domestic and wild species. However, epidemiological surveys evaluating the circulation of L. infantum in zoo‐kept animals remain limited. This large‐scale study aims to evaluate the

Forest patches as stepping stones: evidence from invertebrate taxonomic and functional diversity in experimentally created water‐filled tree holes

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs), such as water‐filled tree holes (WTHs), are important structures for forest biodiversity, providing habitats for many specialized species, which are however impaired by the intensive forest management of the past. Strategies to maintain and promote TreMs in managed forests, e.g.

Experimental droughts in mesocosms reveal a gradient of tolerance in Alpine stream macroinvertebrates

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S352-S363, December 2025.
Abstract Prolonged droughts, driven by climate change and human pressures on water resources, are increasing in frequency and intensity, particularly impacting Alpine rivers. Benthic macroinvertebrates are one of the most important structural and functional components of Alpine lotic ecosystems.
