Bee products as alternatives in the treatment of viral infections

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 1, Page 33-54, 15 January 2026.
Abstract Medicines used in the treatment of viral infections usually reduce symptoms. There is a need to develop drugs that inhibit the viruses and do not merely relieve the symptoms. Natural bee products possess many pharmacological properties and are widely used in folk medicine. There are many studies on the antibacterial effects of bee products but

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host‐Specificity and Threats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...

Patterns of Rift Valley fever virus seropositivity in domestic ruminants in central South Africa four years after a large outbreak

Scientific Reports, 2020
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne viral zoonosis showing complex epidemiological patterns that are poorly understood in South Africa. Large outbreaks occur in the central interior at long, irregular intervals, most recently in 2010–2011 ...

Risk factors associated with Rift Valley fever epidemics in South Africa in 2008-11. [PDF]

, 2008
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic and vector-borne disease, mainly present in Africa, which represents a threat to human health, animal health and production. South Africa has experienced three major RVF epidemics (1950-51, 1973-75 and 2008-11).

Virus‐Like Particle‐Based Countermeasures Against Rift Valley Fever Virus [PDF]

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2012
SummaryRift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is an arbovirus that causes significant morbidity and mortality in both humans and livestock. With increased world travel and the threat of bioterrorism, there is a real risk of RVFV spreading to naïve geographical areas (Trans. R. Soc. Trop. Med. Hyg., 73, 1979, 618; MMWR Morb. Mortal.
