Non-structural proteins of arthropod-borne bunyaviruses: roles and functions [PDF]
Viruses within the Bunyaviridae family are tri-segmented, negative-stranded RNA viruses. The family includes several emerging and re-emerging viruses of humans, animals and plants, such as Rift Valley fever virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus ...

Human skin volatiles influence midge behavior, with certain compounds acting as strong attractants or repellents. These odor differences are largely regulated by skin microbiota, offering insight into host preference mechanisms and potential for improved vector control. Abstract BACKGROUND Midges are widely distributed globally.

Background Most plant viruses depend on vector insects for transmission. Upon viral infection, virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) can target both viral and host transcripts.

Evidence for high dispersal ability and mito-nuclear discordance in the small brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus [PDF]
Understanding dispersal ability in pest species is critical for both theoretical aspects of evolutionary and population biology and from a practical standpoint, such as implementing effective forecasting systems.

Characterization of a wheat HSP70 gene and its expression in response to stripe rust infection and abiotic stresses [PDF]
Members of the family of 70-kD heat shock proteins (HSP70 s) play various stress-protective roles in plants. In this study, a wheat HSP70 gene was isolated from a suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) cDNA library of wheat leaves infected by ...

Occurrence of Ribotypes in Germany and Their Association with Different Host Plants and Viruses [PDF]
The plasmodiophorid Polymyxa graminis transmits plant viruses to cereal crops such as wheat, rye, barley and triticale. Soil samples from different locations and cereal host plants were analyzed for the presence of P.
