Migratory birds have a distinct haemosporidian community and are temporally decoupled from vector abundance at a stopover site

Parasitology
Migratory animals likely play an important role in the geographic spread of parasites. In fact, a common assumption is that parasites are potentially transmitted by migratory animals at temporary stopover sites along migratory routes, yet very few ...

A viral movement protein mediates host volatile biosynthesis to co-attract vectors and non-vectors and enhances viral infection

Frontiers in Plant Science
The literature shows that vector-transmitted plant viruses mediate host volatile biosynthesis to attract vectors and repel non-vectors, benefiting plant-infecting viruses and enhancing their spread.
