Effects of the Mating Disruption Strategy on In-Season Damage and Overwintering Population of Cydia pomonella (L.) in Karaman Province

This study demonstrates that deploying Isomate C Plus pheromone dispensers for mating disruption in Karaman Province apple orchards significantly reduced both in-season fruit damage and overwintering codling moth populations compared to conventional management, supporting its potential as a sustainable component of integrated pest management despite limitations regarding experimental replication and direct mating status assessment.

Comparative Nutrient Removal and Biomass Production by Chaetoceros neogracile, Isochrysis galbana, and Tetraselmis chuii in Saline Aquaculture Wastewater

This study demonstrates that while *Tetraselmis chuii* at 50% wastewater concentration yields the highest biomass productivity, *Isochrysis galbana* at 75% concentration achieves superior nutrient removal, indicating that optimal conditions for biomass production and nutrient remediation differ among microalgae species.

Bovine Papillomatosis Shows a Persistent, Non-Regressive Course with High-Rate Coinfection in a Long-Term Study of a Dairy Herd

A 24-month longitudinal study of a Brazilian dairy herd revealed that mild cutaneous papillomatosis follows a persistent, non-regressive course characterized by high rates of coinfection with multiple Bovine papillomavirus types, particularly BPV-2 and BPV-3, with no observed link between viral profiles and lesion severity.

Root-associated bacterial community shifts accompany salt-stress mitigation by Bacillus velezensis SGTSH 0811 in sunflower

This study demonstrates that the salt-tolerant rhizobacterium *Bacillus velezensis* SGTSH 0811 mitigates salt stress in sunflowers by enhancing physiological resilience and modulating root-associated bacterial community composition and function, alongside altering the expression of key stress-responsive genes.

Comparative effects of natural forest coffee and coffee-based agroforestry systems on biomass and soil carbon stocks in the Yayu Coffee Forest Biosphere Reserve, Southwest Ethiopia

This study in Ethiopia's Yayu Coffee Forest Biosphere Reserve demonstrates that natural forest and semi-forest coffee systems maintain significantly higher total ecosystem carbon stocks than homegarden systems, primarily due to the preservation of native shade trees and reduced soil disturbance, highlighting their superior potential for climate change mitigation.

Integrated experimental tools for Trypanosoma evansi isolation, diagnosis, and ultrastructural analysis

This study presents an integrated methodological toolbox for *Trypanosoma evansi* that combines in vivo isolation, in vitro culture, multi-host serological and molecular diagnostics, and ultrastructural expansion microscopy to enable stable parasite maintenance, accurate surveillance, and detailed cellular analysis, including the discovery of kinetoplast DNA absence in a specific strain.

Nutritional Anthelmintics: Chicory Reconfigures the Equine Holobiont Across Microbial, Parasitic, and Host Scales

This study demonstrates that grazing chicory reduces cyathostomin egg excretion and reshapes the equine nemabiome and gut microbiota while maintaining host physiological stability, positioning it as a promising ecological alternative for parasite control despite the need for further research into its long-term microbial consequences.

Evaluation of Selenium Enrichment Capacity and Screening of Selenium-Rich Varieties in 77 Sweetpotato Germplasm Resources

This study evaluated 77 sweet potato germplasm resources across selenium-rich and low-selenium soil regions to analyze trait variations and identify top-performing varieties, such as Zhenghong 163, Longzi 9, and Guangzishu 9, as optimal candidates for selenium-enriched breeding and industrial development.
