Data From: Bacterial Communities of House Flies from Dairy Farms Highlight Their Role as Reservoirs, Disseminators and Sentinels of Microbial Threats to Human and Animal Health

<p dir="ltr">Adult house flies (<i>Musca</i> <i>domestica</i> L.) inhabiting dairy farms not only are nuisance pests but also harbor and disseminate bacteria. We examined the bacterial community composition, diversity, environmental sources, and prevalence in individual adult female house flies and cattle manure samples collected monthly from Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee dairy farms between May and August 2021. Individual house flies carried diverse bacterial communities, encompassing all bacterial taxa (100%) identified in across manure samples, and additional species likely acquired from the animals. Bacterial community assemblage in house flies and manure samples within farms varied by month. Some taxa were differentially associated with either house flies (<i>Corynebacterium</i>, <i>Acinetobacter</i>, and <i>Staphylococcus</i>) or manure samples (<i>Treponema</i>, <i>Succinivibrio</i>, and Clostridia). House fly bacterial communities mostly contained specialist species originating from manure, with several taxa (<i>Escherichia, Corynebacterium</i>, <i>Turicibacter</i>) being potential pathogens of livestock and humans. These findings further support the role of house flies as carriers of cattle-associated bacteria, including pathogens, and their potential for disseminating these microbes among cattle and to neighboring environments. Since their bacterial communities provide a snapshot of their surrounding environment, house flies also serve as effective sentinels in xenosurveillance strategies.</p><p dir="ltr">The raw Illumina MiSeq sequence data for this project can be found here: <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/?term=PRJNA1070634" target="_blank">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/?term=PRJNA1070634</a></p><p dir="ltr">Resources in this dataset:</p><ul><li>Resource: Metadata for bacterial communities in house fly and manure samples from dairy farm; </li><li>File Name: Metadata_dairy_farm_associated_house_fly_n_manure_microbiome.xlsx Resource; </li><li>Description: This spreadsheet links the raw sequence reads on NCBI Accession No. PRJNA1070634 data.</li></ul><p></p>

Data from: Challenges in assessing repellency as an integrated pest management tool to protect stored grains, using the global pest <i>T</i><i>ribolium castaneum</i>

<p dir="ltr">The work completed here assessed the repellency behavior of different essential oils on the red flour beetle, <i>Tribolium castaneum. </i>The goal was to understand how non-chemical and naturally occurring oils could serve as repellents to stored product insect pests, leading to lower risk integrated pest management techniques. The work assessed 15 different oils for initial repellency in a small wind tunnel assay and performed further repellency assays on 7 that showed some potential in repelling the insects. Other assays used on the 7 potential oils were a larger wind tunnel assay, a bin assay that assessed taxis to the oil, and an overall behavioral assay that assessed distance moved, speed, and angular turning in the presence of the oil. We found inconsistent results of repellency of these oils, but a significant impact of the oils and whether red flour beetles were by themselves or in groups. The data provided here detail proximity to the oil for the small and large wind tunnel and the bin assays as well as distance metrics as calculated by the behavioral tracking program Ethovision XT.</p><p dir="ltr">Small wind tunnel data: treatment (oil or water), close = number of individuals close to the treatment, far = number of individuals far from the treatment, experiment = group or individual.</p><p dir="ltr">Large wind tunnel data: treatment (oil or water), S = number of individuals at stimulus edge, NS = no response, A = Away from treatment, B = close to tunnel.</p><p dir="ltr">Ethovision Data: rep = replicate beetle, all treatments are across the top, ethovision_output = identity of Ethovision calculation.</p><p dir="ltr">Bin Taxis: Treatment = repellent oil present, close = near oil, far = away from oil, oil_pair = what the control was paired with (for oils it is just repeated), time = duration of exposure.</p>

Data from: The vectoring competence of Varroa destructor for Deformed wing-like viruses is affected by methods for controlling the mite in honey bee hives

<p dir="ltr"><i>Varroa destructor</i> are harmful ectoparasitic mites of <i>Apis mellifera</i> honey bees. Deformed wing-like viruses (DWV-A and B (VDV1)) are ubiquitous honey bee viruses that are vectored by Varroa; mite vectoring can cause an increase in virus infectivity and diversity of genetic variants. Beekeepers use both chemical (e.g., amitraz) and non-chemical (e.g., ‘brood break’) means to control mite populations in honey bee colonies, and these methods may be combined into an integrated pest management strategy. Here we explore how these control methods affected the DWV/VDV1 population in honey bee colonies, the diversity of viral genetic variants, and the competence of Varroa to transmit overt DWV infections. We found that ‘brood break’ treatment significantly elevated Varroa populations in colonies with a concomitant increase in DWV-A and VDV1 levels, but not when combined with amitraz application. Our results demonstrate negative implications to honey bee colony health from chemical treatment failures on the levels of DWV-like viruses in adult bees and mites, and the ability of mites to transmit overt infections.</p>

Data from: Flight tube and field cage studies of harmonic radar tagged Bactrocera dorsalis and Ceratitis capitata (Diptera, Tephritidae): effects of tag size, sex, rearing, and irradiation

<p dir="ltr">Tracking individual insects with harmonic radar (HR) allows observations of insect movement behavior under wild and semi-wild conditions. However, attaching tags to insects has the potential to alter natural behavior. Quantifying negative effects of tag attachment may allow researchers to correct movement parameters to account for deviations from natural movements, thus producing more accurate estimates of insect behavior. Using two HR tag sizes, ~350 (small) and ~570 μg (large), the movements of <i>Ceratitis capitata</i> and <i>Bactrocera dorsalis</i> were investigated in flight tubes and an outdoor field cage. <i>Bactrocera dorsalis </i>with small tags attached did not perform differently than untagged flies in flight tubes, while flies with large tags took longer to exit the tubes. Time to exit did not vary with <i>B. dorsalis</i> body size, wing area, or wing length for any tagged status (untagged, small, or large). However, <i>B. dorsalis </i>exit times did vary with rearing and irradiation status but not with sex. For <a href="" target="_blank"><i>C. capitata</i></a>, negative impacts were observed on both the time to exit and the failure to exit rate. Field cage experiments revealed differences in movement parameters among tested groups. For instance, female, colony-reared, non-irradiated, <i>B. dorsalis</i> showed the greatest bias in (pseudo) turning angles; male, wild, non-irradiated, <i>B. dorsalis</i> showed the weakest correlation between flight and wind direction (β); and colony-reared <i>C. capitata </i>showed random movement directions (other groups showed directional biases). This study shows the feasibility of tracking tephritids as small as <i>C. capitata </i>and demonstrates the advantages of using the smallest possible tags.</p>

Data from: Transmission and pathologic findings of divergent human seasonal H1N1pdm09 influenza A viruses following spillover into pigs in the United States

<p dir="ltr">Background: The H1N1 pandemic (H1N1pdm09) lineage of influenza A viruses (IAV) emerged in North America in 2009 and caused a human influenza pandemic. It spread rapidly due to its efficient transmission and limited human immunity, replacing the previous human seasonal H1. Human-to-swine transmission of H1N1pdm09 IAV has since contributed to genetic diversity in pigs. While most were not sustained, approximately 160 spillovers persisted in pigs for at least one year and reassorted with other endemic swine IAVs in most cases.</p><p dir="ltr">Methods: We sought to identify how transmission and reassortment with endemic IAV viruses in swine impact virus traits and zoonotic risk in this study. We conducted a swine pathogenesis and transmission study using four swine H1N1pdm09 viruses derived from different human influenza seasons that had acquired different gene segment combinations after spillovers into swine. Nasal swabs, serum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and formalin-fixed lower respiratory tract tissues were collected to assess viral infection, replication, and shedding.</p><p dir="ltr">Results: Ongoing circulation and reassortment resulted in viruses with variable virulence, shedding, and transmission kinetics. The H1N1pdm09 viruses retained antigenic similarities with the human vaccine strain of the same season of incursion but showed increasing antigenic distances with human seasonal H1N1 vaccine strains from other seasons.</p><p dir="ltr">Conclusions: Human seasonal H1N1 viruses are capable of replicating and transmitting in swine, and there is potential for these human-to-swine spillovers to reassort with endemic swine IAV. Controlling IAV at the human-swine interface has the benefit of reducing IAV burden in swine and subsequent zoonotic risk of swine IAV.</p>

Environmental heterogeneity across an urban gradient influences detritus and nutrients within artificial containers and their associated vector Aedes sp. larvae in San Juan, Puerto Rico

Detrital inputs from the surrounding terrestrial environment provide essential nutrients that sustain mosquito populations in aquatic containers. The larvae of Aedes aegypti often develop in artificial habitats in urban areas but little is known about how that environment shapes their life history or phenotypic traits. We sampled mosquito larvae, container detritus, and suspended particulate organic matter in 44 locations across the San Juan Metropolitan Area urban gradient in Puerto Rico. We characterized the surrounding environment in terms of land cover, land use, and vegetation α diversity. We show that container detritus and nutrients are influenced by fine-scale environmental variations environment, affecting Ae. aegypti and its competitor Ae. mediovittatus larvae phenotypic traits and nutrient composition.
