Selection, counterselection, and conditional gene expression for genetic biocontrol of insects

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Selection, counterselection, and conditional expression can be used for sex separation. Selection (S) and counterselection (CS) genes are linked to the sex chromosomes (e.g., the X and Y chromosomes) to confer sex‐specific selection or counterselection based on the presence or absence of the S or CS genes.

Target-site mediated insecticide resistance in major mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) vectors: A systematic review

Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine
The use of insecticides remain the most effective vector control approach for mosquito borne diseases like malaria, dengue fever, chikungunya, and Zika virus disease; however, their increasing resistance has complicated the management.

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Entomological Survey and Temephos Susceptibility of Aedes, Culex and Anopheles in Naena Muktipura Mimika Papua

Jurnal Kesehatan Lingkungan
Introduction: Arthropod-borne diseases are infectious diseases mediated by mosquitoes that have incurred a considerable health problem. The prevalence of this disease is notably high in some rural areas, such as Papua, due to some environmental ...

Getting ahead of the crises: Developing an avian malaria disease management plan for Hawaiian forest birds

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Avian malaria poses a growing threat to native Hawaiian forest birds as climate change enables its spread into previously disease‐free areas like Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge. This study presents a proactive, tiered disease management plan to help land managers monitor and respond to malaria risk, offering a model for broader conservation ...

Spatiotemporal patterns in British racing and equestrian sports: Implications for pathogen transmission

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The widespread assumption that there is minimal potential for pathogen transmission between British racehorse and sport horse populations remains unverified by empirical evidence. Objectives To characterise spatiotemporal patterns of horse attendance at racing and other sport events in Great Britain in 2018.

Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.

Culex flavivirus infection in a Culex pipiens mosquito colony and its effects on vector competence for Rift Valley fever phlebovirus

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Rift Valley fever is a mosquito-borne zoonotic disease that affects domestic ruminants and humans. Culex flavivirus is an insect-specific flavivirus that naturally exists in field mosquito populations. The influence of Culex flavivirus on Rift
