We describe methods for collecting and rearing the tachinid parasitoid Istocheta aldrichi from parasitized Japanese beetle adults. Hosts can be collected by hand and reared in the laboratory, or by using modified trap containers with added plant material and substrate to provide suitable conditions for I.

Glass eels and viruses – a lesson learnt from stocking the eastern German Baltic Sea coast
Abstract Concerns about Anguillid herpesvirus 1 (AngHV‐1) in European eels, especially due to stocking measures, is increasingly coming into focus and raises questions regarding disease monitoring and prevention. In the past, stocking of AngHV‐1‐positive eels into waters assumed AngHV‐1‐free has led to a rapid increase of infected eels in the wild. For

This study provides the first laboratory assessment of the physiological host range of Istocheta aldrichi, a candidate biological control agent for Popillia japonica in Europe. In sequential no‐choice tests with 14 European scarab beetles, the parasitoid oviposited on six species but successfully developed only in the two Rutelinae Anomala vitis and ...

Actia interrupta is a larval tachinid parasitoid that plays a key role in regulating low‐density populations of the eastern spruce budworm. We describe its immature stages, life‐history traits, host‐searching behavior, development, and confirm its larviparous reproductive strategy.

Abstract While the presence of invasive plants as contaminants in potted plants is a well‐known phenomenon, its significance as a potential phytosanitary risk remains frequently underestimated. Coco peat, often used as a growing medium for potted plants, is also imported as a standalone commodity, creating an additional pathway for introduction.

Sustainable control of cyathostomin infections in practice
Summary Cyathostomins are the most prevalent helminths in horses and are found in nearly all grazing groups. These parasites have been shown to exhibit widespread anthelmintic resistance and can cause clinical disease, so they are a growing concern.

Summary Background Equine coronavirus (ECoV) is an increasingly recognised cause of pyrexia and enteric disease in the horse. Objectives To (1) evaluate if horses seroconvert after clinical ECoV infection and (2) investigate the pattern of faecal excretion of ECoV to determine the optimal testing moment with the overall aim of helping veterinarians in ...

Debt Aversion: Theory and Measurement
ABSTRACT We propose a model of debt aversion and conduct an experiment with real debt and saving contracts to jointly elicit debt aversion and preferences over time, risk, and intertemporal losses. We find that 89% of participants are debt averse, which strongly influences their choices.
