Hemipteran vectors of stylet‐borne plant viruses: Aphids lead the charge

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Among all sap‐feeding hemipterans, aphids stand out by far as the most important vectors of noncirculative plant viruses. Compared to whiteflies and mealybugs, aphids’ highly specialized stylet anatomy and distinct feeding behaviors contribute, together with other features of their biology, to their remarkable efficiency in transmitting stylet‐borne ...

Calcitonin‐like diuretic hormone influences reproduction in adult female Rhodnius prolixus

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Highlights • CT/DH‐like immunoreactivity is present in female reproductive tissues • CT/DH receptor transcripts are expressed in the fat body and ovaries • RNAi knockdown of CT/DH receptors reduces egg number and hatching rate • Rhopr‐CT/DH increases RhoprVg1 and RhoprVgR expression in ovaries in vitro • Rhopr‐CT/DH stimulates oviduct contractions in a

Effects of Vector Density on Blood Parasite Spread and Health Consequences for Avian Hosts: An Experimental Epidemiology Blueprint

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In an experimental epidemiology setup, groups of pigeons were exposed to different numbers of infective malaria vectors. Vector number explained the speed of transmission, the final prevalence, and changes in host behavior. ABSTRACT Vector density plays a critical role in the transmission dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and thus in their health and ...

Giving Voice to Head and Neck Cancer Survivors: A Qualitative Investigation Into the Utility of Peer Support

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors often experience significant physical and psychological challenges posttreatment, including functional impairments and social isolation. Peer support programs, where survivors share experiences and offer mutual support, can improve emotional well‐being, reduce isolation, and offer practical ...

The Impact of Intraoperative Facial Nerve Monitoring During Parotidectomy on Postoperative Facial Nerve Function: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Facial nerve dysfunction (FND) remains a key complication of parotidectomy. Intraoperative facial nerve monitoring (IOFNM) aims to assist facial nerve identification and preservation; however, its effect on postoperative FND remains unclear.
