Equipped for success: genomes and metabolomes of the European Amanita muscaria are conserved in its novel South African range

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 3, Page 1863-1883, May 2026.
Summary Plants and soils have been moved around the world for centuries, but invasive mushrooms receive scant attention. The Amanita muscaria species complex was introduced to South Africa in the context of forestry, but its origins, ecology and recent evolution are unstudied. We sequenced the genomes of 24 Northern and Southern Hemisphere A. muscaria,

Predicting adult mosquito (Culex pipiens) emergence in response to temperature, nutrients, and salinity

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract While human activities lead to unprecedented declines in biodiversity, mosquitoes tend to thrive in human‐disrupted environments. A high mosquito abundance is a clear risk for the transmission of vector‐borne diseases, and understanding how environmental factors influence mosquito development is crucial for better predicting their abundance ...

Vegetation structure drives mosquito community composition in UK’s largest managed lowland wetland

Parasites & Vectors
Purpose The rising burden of mosquito-borne diseases in Europe extends beyond urban areas, encompassing rural and semi-urban regions near managed and natural wetlands evidenced by recent outbreaks of Usutu and West Nile viruses.

Clashing in Murky Waters: On Amphibian Mosquito Suppression

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study compares the predator efficiency of common European amphibian species to common invertebrate mosquito predators. Focusing on the cosmopolitan mosquito Culex pipiens, known for transmitting pathogens like West Nile virus, we assessed predator rates, sex‐specific efficiency in amphibians, and the impact of predator presence on mosquito ...

A blood safety perspective on emerging arboviral infections in the United Kingdom

Transfusion Medicine, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 10-19, February 2026.
Abstract A core focus of the blood services is to maintain the blood supply whilst simultaneously being vigilant for potential threats to blood safety. At present, West Nile virus (WNV), Usutu virus (USUV), Dengue virus (DENV) and Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) are considered primary arboviral threats to blood safety in the UK and Northern Europe.

Usutu virus, Austria and Hungary, 2010–2016Usutu virus, Austria and Hungary, 2010–2016

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2017
Usutu virus (USUV, Flaviviridae) was first reported in Europe in Austria in 2001, where it caused wild bird (mainly blackbird) mortality until 2005. Since 2006 no further USUV cases were diagnosed in the country.

Molecular Screening of Black Flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) for Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Pathogens, South Moravia, Czech Republic

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 95-106, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...
