Molecular and Serological Screening of West Nile and Usutu Virus in Birds and Humans: A Sentinel Study in Finland

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
We developed sensitive real‐time PCR assays for West Nile virus and Usutu virus to screen bird and human samples in Finland. Although no positive samples were detected, active migratory flyways and recent cases in neighbouring countries highlight the risk of future introduction and the need for continued surveillance.

Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) feeding on donkeys in the United Kingdom, with reference to the risk of transmission and persistence of African horse sickness virus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 560-567, September 2026.
Culicoides biting midges were collected at a donkey sanctuary in the United Kingdom using UV light‐suction traps. Culicoides were found in abundance and all specimens were identified to species level. Blood‐feeding on donkeys was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of host bloodmeals. Donkeys could play a significant role in the

Effect of blood meals and mating on biodemographic characteristics of Aedes albopictus

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 446-459, September 2026.
Lifespan did not differ between virgin and mated males and females. The number of blood meals (one and two) significantly reduced adult lifespan compared with those with no blood meal. The effect of the second blood meal doubled females' egg production and their reproductive output.

Disulfiram‐Induced Hepatotoxicity in a Patient With Alcohol Use Disorder: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Disulfiram can cause severe and potentially fatal hepatotoxicity, particularly in patients with preexisting liver disease. In Bhutan, where alcohol‐related liver disease represents a major public health burden and pharmacological options for relapse prevention remain limited, careful patient selection, hepatic assessment, and early monitoring ...

Diversity and Distribution Patterns of Insects in Nigeria: A GBIF‐Based Appraisal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Insect diversity in Nigeria is high, with 5880 species. Diversity differs between biomes. Current diversity represents ~21 of the estimated ‘true’ diversity. ABSTRACT Insects provide essential ecosystem services and are key indicators of ecosystem health.

SARS‐CoV‐2 Spike Peptides Trigger Nociceptive Responses Through Spinal TLR4 Pathways

European Journal of Pain, Volume 30, Issue 7, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Pain is a common neurological manifestation of COVID‐19, yet the mechanisms by which SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein fragments contribute to nociceptive processing remain poorly understood. We investigated whether spike‐derived peptides directly activate spinal neuroimmune pathways involved in pain signalling.

Knowledge and Attitudes of Healthcare Workers Toward the Re‐Emergence of Human Monkeypox Virus Infection in Public Health Facilities in the Central Ethiopia Region: An Online Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Human monkeypox (mpox) is a re‐emerging zoonotic viral disease in Africa. Despite recent reports in Ethiopia, no studies have assessed healthcare workers' (HCWs) knowledge and attitudes in the Central Ethiopia Region. This study aimed to determine HCWs knowledge and attitudes toward the re‐emergence of mpox in public health

Successful Treatment of Adult Epstein–Barr Virus‐Associated Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis With Etoposide Guided by Plasma Epstein–Barr Virus DNA Monitoring: A Case Report

eJHaem, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life‐threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome. Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)‐associated HLH is a major subtype of secondary HLH, requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment. However, treatment is particularly challenging in patients with severe coagulopathy and hepatic dysfunction.
