The geography of parasite local adaptation to host communities

Emily S. Bellis et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the parasitic plant Striga hermonthica performs best on the host species that is most common in their location of origin, and specialist parasites are more likely to occur where host niches differ most in multivariate environmental space at continental scales. This suggests that differential environmental tolerances of hosts indirectly shape the distribution of specialist and generalist parasites.

The witchweed Striga gesnerioides and the cultivated cowpea: A geographical and historical analysis of their West African distribution points to the prevalence of agro-ecological factors and the parasite's multilocal evolution potential

Abou-Soufianou Sadda et al.

Summary: The increasing severity of Striga gesnerioides attacks on cowpea is mainly related to the arid regions in West Africa, such as the Sahelian and Sudano-Sahelian belts. Infections are restricted to the driest components of cultivated cowpea ecoclimatic niche, corresponding to the Sahelian and Sudano-Sahelian belts and the Dahomey gap.

Current progress in Striga management

Muhammad Jamil et al.

Summary: The Striga, especially S. hermonthica, poses a major threat to food security in many African countries, exacerbating hunger and poverty. While various control strategies have been proposed and tested in the past decade, further research efforts are needed to provide sustainable and effective solutions to this enigmatic parasite. This paper provides an update on recent progress in Striga management and highlights opportunities for developing new technologies to control it.

Landscape-scale biogeographic distribution analysis of the whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889) in Kenya

Bester Tawona Mudereri et al.

Summary: Understanding the habitat use and landscape suitability by invasive insect species is crucial for their control and management. A study in Kenya identified areas at risk of invasion by Bemisia tabaci, with land cover and precipitation variables playing important roles in determining pest occurrence. Predictions suggest that increasing global temperatures may impact the pest's preferred environment and crop productivity.
