Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Schistosomiasis remains a public health concern in sub‐Saharan Africa, affecting over 250 million people. In endemic settings, schistosomiasis transmission is not always understood exclusively in biomedical terms. Community health workers (CHWs) contribute to schistosomiasis control through mass drug administration and health ...

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2026.Garlic‐derived diallyl disulfide acts as a behavioural deterrent that suppresses insect mating and oviposition through sensory pathways. The compound is detected through gustatory mechanisms involving the transient receptor potential A1 (TrpA1) channel and neural responses.

Nonhuman Mobilities and Multispecies Border Regimes in (Post‐)Colonial Southern Africa**
Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 395-414, September 2026.This article explores how borders in Southern Africa—such as Namibia's internal veterinary and settler border (Red Line) and national borders between Namibia, South Africa, and Botswana—functioned not only as territorial dividers but as tools to shape colonial and postcolonial multispecies hierarchies. These borders regulated human and animal movement,

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8382-8391, September 2026.Queensland fruit fly pupae tolerate hypoxia up to 2 days without compromising quality. Prolonged hypoxia, especially at 25 °C, reduces emergence and flight ability. Storage at 18 °C is recommended. Abstract BACKGROUND The sterile insect technique is used to eradicate outbreaks of Queensland fruit fly (Q‐fly) Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) in fruit‐fly ...
