Article Abstract
Unlabelled: High infestation levels of small hive beetle (SHB), , can cause more damage to honeybee, , host colonies. However, the spatiotemporal variation of SHB infestations is poorly understood. Here, we show that SHB infestations can be equally high in native and invasive ranges, suggesting that differences between host populations are the key criterion for damage. The data reveal that spatial variation within locations was not correlated with migratory beekeeping, SHB management strategies, nor the number of colonies at an apiary. Despite no annual changes in SHB infestations, the data confirm seasonal variation in infestations in two locations probably due to environmental factors affecting SHB. Infestations are lower in Italy than elsewhere, possibly due to strongly implemented management strategies. It is apparent that our understanding of varying SHB infestations is still limited. This suggests that further efforts are required to elucidate our knowledge of this important host-parasite system.

Due to the ongoing global spread of the small hive beetle (SHB), , there is a significant need for detection and practical management strategies against this pest. The standard inspection strategies for SHBs involve (1) detailed visual examination of the colony, which is challenging in areas with defensive bees, or (2) sampling beetles via traps, which requires repeated visits to the apiary and can be difficult for beekeepers with apiaries in rural areas. In this study, we modified the inspection sequence to examine the in-hive distribution of the beetle and assess whether a limited, yet targeted, inspection could provide valuable information on beetle infestation.

Introduction: Rhizoctonia solani Kühn is a pathogen causing rice sheath blight (ShB). Ammonium transporter 1 (AMT1) promotes resistance of rice to ShB by activating ethylene signaling. However, how AMT1 activates ethylene signaling remains unclear.

Tetranychid outbreaks have been detected since 2016 in southern highbush blueberries (SHB); however, it was not until 2019 that the southern red mite (SRM), (Acari: Tetranychidae) was confirmed as the pest causing severe bronzing and stunting, in multiple Florida and Georgia commercial blueberry plantings. To date, only three miticides (fenazaquin, fenpyroximate, and acequinocyl) have been registered for use in SHB and there are no clear guidelines on how to manage SRM in SHB. Similarly, there is no knowledge regarding the existence of natural enemies of SRM in SHB.

Background: The WHO recommends pregnant women attend antenatal clinic at least three times during pregnancy; during the first, second and third trimesters. During these visits, an array of clinical and laboratory tests is conducted. The information obtained plays an important role not only in the management and care of pregnancy, but also guides policies targeted at addressing pregnancy-induced health challenges.
