The first discovery of Aedes aegypti eggs in the UK shows how climate change and global travel are helping mosquitoes that spread dengue and Zika expand northwards.

Last week we @akhorramnejad.bsky.social publish a paper on how climate change could alter mosquitoes-virus interactions

Here is a blog post in Research Communities from @springernature.com summarising our results using a less technical language and telling the #BehindthePaper go.nature.com/41fy80U
Warmer sicker? Or warmer stronger? How climate change shapes mosquito immunity.

Genetic diversity has declined within two-thirds of more than 600 species over the past three decades, according to research published in Nature. The findings highlight the need for conservation efforts to prevent genetic diversity loss. https://go.nature.com/42EpVo5 🧪

DYK lone star ticks are SUPER mobile? But how much do they actually move in the field/lab? Danny Marshall (PhD student in Jeb Owen's lab) just published a paper on movement activity of LSTs.👏 We hope this work will help with future movement modeling of lone star ticks!
