A Baseline Checklist of Mosquito Species (Diptera: Culicidae) From Tasmania, Australia, and Implications for Public Health Arbovirus Surveillance and Biosecurity

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are of major public health importance due to their role as vectors of mosquito‐borne pathogens and the impact of nuisance biting. Accurate geographical knowledge of mosquito fauna is the foundation of effective arbovirus surveillance and biosecurity.

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page e478-e490, August 2026.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Improving the use of expert opinion in disease risk analysis for conservation translocations

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Conservation translocations are subject to considerable uncertainty and risk, of which disease is one of the most recognized. To address disease risks, several protocols for qualitative disease risk analysis (qDRA) exist and are used for responsible conservation translocation planning.

Air embolism secondary to suspected lymphatic tissue disruption with severe exercise‐induced pulmonary haemorrhage

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 8, Page e501-e508, August 2026.
Summary Air embolism is rare in horses and typically associated with complications following intravenous catheterisation or other medical procedures. Exercise‐induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH) is common in racehorses but not usually associated with air embolism. This report describes a case of air embolism in a 4‐year‐old Thoroughbred with EIPH. The
