Rapid and accurate mosquito abundance forecasting with Aedes-AI neural networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
We present a method to convert weather data into probabilistic forecasts of Aedes aegypti abundance. The approach, which relies on the Aedes-AI suite of neural networks, produces weekly point predictions with corresponding uncertainty estimates. Once calibrated on past trap and weather data, the model is designed to use weather forecasts to estimate ...

Spatial Interpolation in Applied Insect Ecology: A Review, Including Guidelines and Datasets for Practical Use

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spatial interpolation represents a fundamental approach in applied insect ecology, offering insight into species distributions and supporting biodiversity analysis, pest management and disease vector mapping. Insects—including important pollinators—face escalating threats due to habitat loss, climate change and anthropogenic pressures. As data‐

Globally invasive, withdrawing at home: Aedes albopictus and Aedes japonicus facing the rise of Aedes flavopictus

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biometeorology, 2016
It has been suggested that climate change may have facilitated the global expansion of invasive disease vectors, since several species have expanded their range as temperatures have warmed. Here, we present results from observations on two major global invasive mosquito vectors (Diptera: Culicidae), Aedes albopictus (Skuse) and Aedes japonicus ...

Aspectos críticos do controle do dengue no Brasil

open access: yesCadernos de Saúde Pública
O dengue é hoje a principal doença re-emergente no mundo. Na ausência de uma vacina preventiva eficaz, de tratamento etiológico e quimioprofilaxia efetivos, o único elo vulnerável para reduzir a sua transmissão é o mosquito Aedes aegypti, seu principal ...

VARIABILITY OF MITOCHONDRIAL CYTOCHROME OXYDASE SUBUNIT I GENE SEQUENCE IN SPECIES OF THE GENERA AEDES AND OCHLEROTATUS (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE)

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2014
Sequence variation in the 538-bp fragment from the 5′ end of the COI region was analyzed to test its usefulness in the identification of 15 mosquito species of the genera Aedes and Ochlerotatus (Diptera: Culicidae) from Tomsk and Kemerovo regions and 14 ...

Evaluation of Zika Vector Control Strategies Using Agent-Based Modeling [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Aedes Aegypti is the vector of several deadly diseases, including Zika. Effective and sustainable vector control measures must be deployed to keep A. aegypti numbers under control. The distribution of A. Aegypti is subject to spatial and climatic constraints. Using agent-based modeling, we model the population dynamics of A.

A time course analysis through diapause reveals dynamic temporal patterns of microRNAs associated with endocrine regulation in the butterfly Pieris napi

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Organisms inhabiting highly seasonal environments must cope with a wide range of environmentally induced challenges. Many seasonal challenges require extensive physiological modification to survive. In winter, to survive extreme cold and limited resources, insects commonly enter diapause, which is an endogenously derived dormant state ...
