The genetic structure of Aedes aegypti populations is driven by boat traffic in the Peruvian Amazon. [PDF]
In the Americas, as in much of the rest of the world, the dengue virus vector Aedes aegypti is found in close association with human habitations, often leading to high population densities of mosquitoes in urban settings.

Joint Bayesian Nowcasting of Severe Acute Respiratory Illness and COVID‐19 Positives in Brazil
ABSTRACT Surveillance of severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) in Brazil provides an early warning system for respiratory outbreaks, including COVID‐19, and statistical nowcasting methods are vital for correcting long and variable reporting delays that would otherwise hinder timely decision‐making. Coherent joint prediction of SARI and COVID‐positive

West Nile Virus Transmission Suitability Modeling for Culex pipiens via Temperature and Humidity
Abstract West Nile Virus (WNV) is the leading cause of mosquito‐borne disease in the United States, yet predicting its transmission remains a significant challenge for public health officials. Many studies use correlative statistical models to predict disease cases using temperature and humidity, but accessible mechanistic approaches that simulate ...

Awareness towards Chikungunya virus infection risk by general practitioners in Rome: a questionnaire based survey before the 2017 outbreak [PDF]
Autochthonous cases of Chikungunya (CHIKV) have been recently detected in Rome. A survey was conduct- ed prior to the 2017 outbreak to assess knowledge, attitude, and practices towards CHIKV infections on 103 randomly selected general practitioners (GPs),

Cutaneous manifestations of chikungunya fever
Chikungunya fever, a re-emerging RNA viral infection produces different cutaneous manifestations in children compared to adults. 52 children with chikungunya fever, confirmed by positive IgM antibody test were seen during 2009-2010. Pigmentary lesions were common (27/52) followed by vesiculobullous lesions (16/52) and maculopapular lesions (14/52 ...

Heatwaves Constrain the Future Persistence of Mosquito Vectors in Europe
Climate warming is intensifying heatwaves across Europe, with the potential to constrain the future distribution of major arboviral mosquito vectors. Using life‐stage‐specific upper thermal limits and an integrative experimental‐modelling framework, we show that extreme heat may reduce the persistence of Culex pipiens and, to a lesser extent, Aedes ...
