Potential entry pathways for 25 vector‐borne disease agents [PDF]

EFSA Journal
This Scientific Report identifies the potential entry pathways for 25 selected vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) into currently free EU Member States. The diseases comprise 12 listed under the Animal Health Law (AHL) and 13 non‐listed diseases, selected using

Genomic Analysis Reveals Annual Variation in the Migratory Pathways to East Asia in the Brown Planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications
The brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens) is a major rice pest in Asia, causing significant yield losses. As BPH cannot overwinter in temperate regions, East Asian populations are wind‐borne migratory insects originating from tropical regions.

Effect of the Asian monsoon on the northward migration of the brown planthopper to northern South China

Ecosphere, 2022
As wind‐borne migration of insects is strongly influenced by atmospheric circulation and weather systems, the relationships between insect population abundance and meteorological conditions are substantial. The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens

Far eastern curlew and whimbrel prefer flying low - wind support and good visibility appear only secondary factors in determining migratory flight altitude

Movement Ecology, 2021
Background In-flight conditions are hypothesized to influence the timing and success of long-distance migration. Wind assistance and thermal uplift are thought to reduce the energetic costs of flight, humidity, air pressure and temperature may affect the

Incidence of Coffee Leaf Rust in Vietnam, Possible Original Sources and Subsequent Pathways of Migration

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
This research focused on the incidence and population genetics of coffee leaf rust (CLR) fungus, Hemileia vastatrix, to estimate the possible original source(s) and subsequent migration pathways of wind-borne and human-aided spores in three main coffee ...

Emerging Threats to Animals in the United Kingdom by Arthropod-Borne Diseases

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Worldwide, arthropod-borne disease transmission represents one of the greatest threats to public and animal health. For the British Isles, an island group on the north-western coast of continental Europe consisting of the United Kingdom (UK) and the ...

Long-distance wind-borne dispersal of the moth Cornifrons ulceratalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Evergestinae) into the northern Mediterranean

European Journal of Entomology, 2009
On October 2006, during an episode of abnormally warm weather, the African moth Cornifrons ulceratalis (Lederer, 1858) was captured simultaneously for the first time in several sites in north-eastern Spain, the Balearic Islands and southern France.
