Four Afrotropical Culicoides species are recorded in Mauritius with suspected or historically involvement in BTV and EHDV transmission. All species were distributed all over the island. While intra‐specific morphological variations were detected, genetic analyses did not reveal any cryptic diversity. Abstract Viruses transmitted by biting midge species

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted from all plants and these VOCs are important means of communication between plants and insects. It has been documented that pathogen infections alter VOC profiles rendering infected plants more attractive to ...

Abstract INTRODUCTION Down syndrome (DS) is the leading genetic cause of intellectual disability and Alzheimer's disease (AD), with over 90% of individuals developing AD‐related dementia (DSAD). The triplication of the APP gene on chromosome 21 drives early amyloid‐β (Aβ) accumulation, but other Hsa21 genes also contribute to pathology.

Evolution of Resistance to Avian Malaria Infection in an Endemic Hawaiian Honeycreeper
Hawaiian honeycreepers, a group of endemic song birds, represent one of the most stunning examples of an adaptive radiation. An evolutionary history devoid of malaria‐causing parasites has made them incredibly susceptible to disease. This work sought to identify genomic correlates of avian malaria infection.

Clinical approach to small psittacines and passerines
Background: The most commonly encountered small avian species in clinical practice are psittacines, such as budgerigars, cockatiels and lovebirds, and passerines, such as finches and canaries. These birds are increasingly presented for veterinary treatment, with owners expecting a high standard of care.

ABSTRACT Population declines result in increasingly small populations, which often experience an increase in inbreeding. Inbreeding may be negatively associated with fitness traits like survival and reproduction, that is, inbreeding depression, and is therefore detrimental to population persistence and adaptive potential.

In August of 2011, potato (Solanum tuberosum) tubers grown in the lower Columbia Basin of southern Washington State and northern Oregon were observed with internal discolorations suggestive of zebra chip disease (ZC). Symptoms included brown spots, streaks, and stripes in and near the vascular tissue, typical of ZC (1).
