Vector Potential Index: Bridging Competence and Contribution as an Integrative Measure of Relative Transmission Capability. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The Vector Potential Index (VPI) is a novel metric for evaluating and comparing the potential of blood‐feeding arthropod vectors to contribute to zoonotic vector‐borne disease transmission. Taking a meta‐analysis approach, the VPI combines vector competence and host use data obtained from scientific literature to assign relative and absolute VPI ranks ...

Advantages and Limitations of Commercially Available Electrocuting Grids for Studying Mosquito Behaviour. [PDF]

, 2013
Mosquito feeding behaviour plays a major role in determining malaria transmission intensity and the impact of specific prevention measures. Human Landing Catch (HLC) is currently the only method that can directly and consistently measure the biting rates

Bacteria as Ovipositional Attractants for \u3ci\u3eAedes Aegypti\u3c/i\u3e (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]

, 2017
The effectiveness of selected bacterial species as ovipositional attractants for Aedes aegypti was compared. Bacterial washes, in glass containers, were utilized as ovipositional substrates and subsequent egg counts determined the degree of ovipositional

Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes do not support replication of Zika virus [PDF]

, 2017
The rapid spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) in the Americas raised many questions about the role of Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes in transmission, in addition to the key role played by the vector Aedes aegypti.

Experimental hut evaluation of bednets treated with an organophosphate (chlorpyrifos-methyl) or a pyrethroid (lambdacyhalothrin) alone and in combination against insecticide-resistant Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2005
BACKGROUND: Pyrethroid resistant mosquitoes are becoming increasingly common in parts of Africa. It is important to identify alternative insecticides which, if necessary, could be used to replace or supplement the pyrethroids for use on treated nets ...
