Functional Relevance of CASP16 Nucleic Acid Predictions as Evaluated by Structure Providers

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate biomolecular structure prediction enables the prediction of mutational effects, the speculation of function based on predicted structural homology, the analysis of ligand binding modes, experimental model building, and many other applications.

Exploring protandry and pupal size selection for Aedes albopictus sex separation [PDF]

, 2018
Background: We explored the possibility to improve male/female separation (sexing) in Aedes albopictus by selection of two strains, one toward increasing sex dimorphism and another toward increasing protandry.

Combinations of Plant Essential Oil Based Terpene Compounds as Larvicidal and Adulticidal Agent against Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

Scientific Reports, 2019
Insecticidal plant-based compound(s)in combinations may show synergistic or antagonistic interactions against insect pest. Considering the rapid spread of the Aedes borne diseases and increasing resistance among Aedes population against conventional ...

Current and Projected Distributions of Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus in Canada and the U.S.

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2020
Background: Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus are mosquito vectors of more than 22 arboviruses that infect humans. Objectives: Our objective was to develop regional ecological niche models for Ae. aegypti and Ae.

Lessons learned exploiting a multi‐year large‐scale data set derived from operational quality assessment of mosquito larval treatments in rain catch basins

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Results highlight opposite associations between percentages of positive rain catch basins treated with diflubenzuron and Bacillus against mosquito larvae and/or pupae and the intervals between treatments and inspections, and spatial variability in vector control.

Dengue disease, basic reproduction number and control [PDF]

, 2011
Dengue is one of the major international public health concerns. Although progress is underway, developing a vaccine against the disease is challenging. Thus, the main approach to fight the disease is vector control.

The effects of human volatiles produced by skin microbiota on Forcipomyia (Lasiohelea) taiwana host preference

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Human skin volatiles influence midge behavior, with certain compounds acting as strong attractants or repellents. These odor differences are largely regulated by skin microbiota, offering insight into host preference mechanisms and potential for improved vector control. Abstract BACKGROUND Midges are widely distributed globally.

Evaluation of Mesocyclops annulatus (Copepoda: Cyclopoidea) as a control agent of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in Argentina. [PDF]

, 2004
We evaluated the potential of Mesocyclops annulatus as a control agent of Aedes aegypti in La Plata city (Argentina). Mosquito larval survivorship due to predation by these copepods was estimated at weekly intervals during the oviposition period of A ...

Larvicidal and Repellent Activity of Mentha arvensis L. Essential Oil against Aedes aegypti

Insects, 2020
Dengue is one of the most dangerous vector-borne diseases transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. The use of mosquito repellents to protect human hosts and insecticides to reduce the mosquito population is a crucial strategy to prevent the disease.
