Mosquito mass rearing: who’s eating the eggs?

Parasite, 2019
For the sterile insect technique, and other related biological control methods where large numbers of the target mosquito are reared artificially, production efficiency is key for the economic viability of the technique.

A Mosquito is Worth 16x16 Larvae: Evaluation of Deep Learning Architectures for Mosquito Larvae Classification [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs), such as dengue virus, chikungunya virus, and West Nile virus, cause over one million deaths globally every year. Because many such diseases are spread by the Aedes and Culex mosquitoes, tracking these larvae becomes critical in mitigating the spread of MBDs. Even as citizen science grows and obtains larger mosquito image

Improved reference genome of the arboviral vector Aedes albopictus

Genome Biology, 2020
The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus is globally expanding and has become the main vector for human arboviruses in Europe. Here we present AalbF2, a dramatically improved assembly of the Ae.

Automated detection of Zika and dengue in Aedes aegypti using neural spiking analysis [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Mosquito-borne diseases present considerable risks to the health of both animals and humans. Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are the primary vectors for numerous medically important viruses such as dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and chikungunya. To characterize this mosquito neural activity, it is essential to classify the generated electrical spikes.

Transgenic Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes Transfer Genes into a Natural Population

Scientific Reports, 2019
In an attempt to control the mosquito-borne diseases yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika fevers, a strain of transgenically modified Aedes aegypti mosquitoes containing a dominant lethal gene has been developed by a commercial company, Oxitec Ltd.

Detection of Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, and Aedes koreicus in the Area of Sochi, Russia

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2016
Following the identification of Aedes (Ae.) aegypti in the Sochi area in Russia at the beginning of 2000, entomological surveys were conducted during the summers of 2007, 2011, and 2012, leading to the identification of Ae. albopictus and Ae. koreicus.

Mapping of Aedes albopictus abundance at a local scale in Italy [PDF]

, 2017
Given the growing risk of arbovirus outbreaks in Europe, there is a clear need to better describe the distribution of invasive mosquito species such as Aedes albopictus. Current challenges consist in simulating Ae. albopictus abundance, rather than its

On the use of uncertainty in classifying Aedes Albopictus mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2021
The re-emergence of mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs), which kill hundreds of thousands of people each year, has been attributed to increased human population, migration, and environmental changes. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been used by several studies to recognise mosquitoes in images provided by projects such as Mosquito Alert to assist ...

Wolbachia and arbovirus inhibition in mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2013
Wolbachia is a maternally inherited intracellular bacteria that can manipulate the reproduction of their insect hosts, and cytoplasmic incompatibility allows them to spread through mosquito populations.
