Fluralaner treatment of chickens kills the southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 385-392, June 2025.Chickens treated with fluralaner, fenbendazole or ivermectin did not repel Culex quinquefasciatus from feeding. The mortality of Culex quinquefasciatus feeding on fluralaner‐treated chickens was significantly higher than that of those fed on control chickens at 3 and 7 days post‐treatment.

Maternal IgE Influence on Fetal and Infant Health
Immunological Reviews, Volume 331, Issue 1, May 2025.ABSTRACT Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is the most recently discovered and evolved mammalian antibody type, best known for interacting with mast cells (MCs) as immune effectors. IgE‐mediated antigen sensing by MC provides protection from parasites, venomous animals, bacteria, and other insults to barrier tissues exposed to the environment.
