Assessing Dengue Risk Globally Using Non-Markovian Models [PDF]
Dengue is a vector-borne disease transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. The worldwide spread of these mosquitoes and the increasing disease burden have emphasized the need for a spatio-temporal risk map capable of assessing dengue outbreak conditions and quantifying the outbreak risk.

ABSTRACT Globally, mosquito‐borne diseases (MBD) cause the highest morbidity and mortality in humans and animals. Currently, in Canada, endemic MBDs that are significant public health problems are all zoonoses and are caused primarily by West Nile virus, Eastern equine encephalitis virus, and Californian serogroup viruses, including the Jamestown ...

Selection for increased sexual bimaturism in the common housefly, Musca domestica
Females and males may have different economic value in insect production. We selected houseflies, Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae), for six generations for increased sexual bimaturism by breeding early‐emerging males with late‐emerging females.

Project MOSI: rationale and pilot-study results of an initiative to help protect zoo animals from mosquito-transmitted pathogens and contribute data on mosquito spatio–temporal distribution change [PDF]
Mosquito-borne pathogens pose major threats to both wildlife and human health and, largely as a result of unintentional human-aided dispersal of their vector species, their cumulative threat is on the rise.

In insect sex determination pathways, the primary signals may vary within and between insect orders; however, the relay and terminal genes are more conserved. The upstream components of insect sex determination pathways ensure the downstream components are sex‐specifically spliced to regulate the development of male and female‐specific traits in a sex ...

Patterns of spatial genetic structures in Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) populations in China. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is one of the 100 worst invasive species in the world and the vector for several arboviruses including dengue, Zika and chikungunya viruses.

An end-to-end assembly of the Aedes aegypti genome [PDF]
We present an end-to-end genome assembly of a female Aedes aegypti mosquito, which spreads viral diseases such as yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika to humans. The assembly is based on an earlier genome published in 2007 and improved in 2013.
