Improved reference genome of the arboviral vector Aedes albopictus [PDF]
Background: The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus is globally expanding and has become the main vector for human arboviruses in Europe. With limited antiviral drugs and vaccines available, vector control is the primary approach to prevent mosquito ...

A deep convolutional neural network for classification of Aedes albopictus mosquitoes [PDF]
Monitoring the spread of disease-carrying mosquitoes is a first and necessary step to control severe diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, Zika or yellow fever. Previous citizen science projects have been able to obtain large image datasets with linked geo-tracking information.

Identification of AaAtg8 as a marker of autophagy and a functional autophagy-related protein in Aedes albopictus [PDF]
Aedes albopictus is a primary vector of hundreds of pathogens. Strong environmental adaptability and extensive global distribution of Aedes albopictus make it a severe threat to human health.

Genetic mechanisms modulating behaviour through plastic chemosensory responses in insects
Abstract The ability to transition between different behavioural stages is a widespread phenomenon across the animal kingdom. Such behavioural adaptations are often linked to changes in the sensitivity of those neurons that sense chemical cues associated with the respective behaviours.

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