‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted

Molecular phylogeny of Psychodopygina (Diptera, Psychodidae) supporting morphological systematics of this group of vectors of New World tegumentary leishmaniasis

Parasite, 2023
New World sandflies are vectors of leishmaniasis, bartonellosis, and some arboviruses. A classification based on 88 morphological characters was proposed 27 years ago when the New World phlebotomines were organized into two tribes Hertigiini and ...

Sponges survive and develop infaunal snapping shrimp communities when transplanted immediately after clonal propagation: implications for restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Sponges historically dominated the heterotrophic biomass of Florida Bay's hard‐bottom habitat, providing crucial ecosystem services including shelter for soniferous shrimp that contribute to the marine soundscape. The loss of the sponge communities has inspired restoration efforts using in‐water nurseries for vegetative ...
