The genome sequence of a tephritid fruit fly, Meigen 1826.

We present a genome assembly from an individual (a tephritid fruit fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Tephritidae). The genome sequence spans 986.20 megabases.

The genome sequence of the Hawthorn Fruit Fly, (Harris, 1780).

We present a genome assembly from a female Hawthorn Fruit Fly, (Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Tephritidae). The genome sequence has a length of 798.30 megabases.

The genome sequence of the thistle gall fly, (Linnaeus 1758).

We present a genome assembly from an individual female thistle gall fly, (Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Tephritidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 837.80 megabases.

Assignment of epidemiological lineages in an emerging pandemic using the pangolin tool.

The response of the global virus genomics community to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has been unprecedented, with significant advances made towards the 'real-time' generation and sharing of SARS-CoV-2 genomic data. The rapid growth in virus genome data production has necessitated the development of new analytical methods that can deal with orders of magnitude of more genomes than previously available. Here, we present and describe Phylogenetic Assignment of Named Global Outbreak Lineages (pangolin), a computational tool that has been developed to assign the most likely lineage to a given SARS-CoV-2 genome sequence according to the Pango dynamic lineage nomenclature scheme.

The virome of , an invasive pest of soft fruit.

(Matsumura) is one of the most damaging and costly pests to invade temperate horticultural regions in recent history. Conventional control of this pest is challenging, and an environmentally benign microbial biopesticide is highly desirable. A thorough exploration of the pathogens infecting this pest is not only the first step on the road to the development of an effective biopesticide, but also provides a valuable comparative dataset for the study of viruses in the model family .

An evaluation of three predatory mite species for the control of greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum).

Background: Within integrated pest control programmes, the use of high mite inoculations to control hot spots of whitefly is desirable for many growers. In this experiment, two species of predatory mites established as commercial biological control agents, Typhlodromips montdorensis and Amblyseius swirskii (Acari: Phytoseiidae), were compared with another, more recently introduced species, Amblydromalus limonicus, for their ability to control dense populations of greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) on cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus).

Results: Mite formulation type had a significant effect on the number of mites found on plants, but this did not correspond to increased whitefly control.
