Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.

Escherichia Species Diversity Across Pristine and Impacted Catchments: Evidence for Avian Sources of Escherichia marmotae in Aotearoa/New Zealand

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Escherichia spp. were obtained from pristine and impacted environments to define community structure and assess potential human health risks. E. coli was more prevalent from sites affected by livestock or human activities, whereas non‐E. coli Escherichia spp. were more prevalent in avian faeces and native forest with fewer faecal sources.

Genotyping Reveals Potential Sources of Human Leptospirosis Outbreaks in Aotearoa New Zealand

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 54-64, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction The introduction of PCR testing for leptospirosis in Aotearoa New Zealand has reduced the availability of serotyping data, and current diagnostic PCRs do not routinely genotype Leptospira. This study genotyped Leptospira from PCR‐confirmed human cases between 2016 and 2023 and compared them with genotypes found in animals to ...
