A Scoping Review of Machine Learning Applications Across Epidemiological Stages of Zoonotic Disease

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Emerging zoonotic diseases represent a significant threat to global health. While machine learning (ML) holds promise for their management, a comprehensive understanding of how these technologies are applied across the entire animal‐to‐human transmission pathway is lacking.

Insecticide Resistance and Its Intensity in Populations of Malaria Vectors in Colombia

BioMed Research International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Insecticide resistance in malaria vectors threatens malaria prevention and control efforts. In Colombia the three primary vectors, Anopheles darlingi, An. nuneztovari s.l., and An. albimanus, have reported insecticide resistance to pyrethroids, organophosphates, carbamates, and DDT; however, the insecticide resistance monitoring is not continuous, and ...

A Short‐Read Amplicon Sequencing Protocol and Bioinformatic Pipeline for Ecological Surveillance of Dipteran Disease Vectors

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 6, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Vector control remains an important strategy worldwide to prevent human infection with pathogens transmitted by arthropods. Vector control strategies rely on accurate identification of vector taxa along with vector‐specific biological indicators such as feeding ecology, infection prevalence and insecticide resistance.

Insect Lipids as Novel Source for Future Applications: Chemical Composition and Industry Applications—A Comprehensive Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
Fat body (FB) acts as a major metabolic center important for the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryogenesis, reproduction, flight, overwintering, protection, and communication. Lipid amounts and fatty acid (FA) composition vary with species, stage of life, and their diet.

Current stewardship practices in invasion biology limit the value and secondary use of genomic data

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Invasive species threaten native biota, putting fragile ecosystems at risk and having a large‐scale impact on primary industries. Growing trade networks and the popularity of personal travel make incursions a more frequent risk, one only compounded by global climate change.

Gaps and spatial trends in the accurate data available on mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae) in Brazil: Inventory completeness and priority areas Lacunas e tendências espaciais nos dados precisos disponíveis sobre mosquitos (Diptera, Culicidae) no Brasil: Cobertura dos inventários e áreas prioritárias

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 526-544, July 2025.
We compiled primary occurrence data for Culicidae in Brazil and our findings showed limitations in the spatial and temporal coverage of digital Culicidae data compared with the literature occurrence data. The Atlantic and Amazon Forests presented well‐surveyed inventories in Brazil's north and southeast. However, the distribution of occurrences reveals

Deforestation changes the effectiveness of bed nets for malaria control

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 180-193, January 2025.
Abstract Land use changes such as deforestation and the degradation of tropical forests can be key drivers of infectious disease, including malaria. However, programmes that evaluate the effectiveness of malaria‐control strategies such as bed nets rarely account for the impacts of surrounding land use change.
