Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon in Raptors and Other Captive Birds at the National Zoological Garden in South Africa

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 203-213, January 2026.
Captive birds at the National Zoological Garden in South Africa harbor diverse haemosporidian parasite species and lineages. This might compromise conservation efforts of threatened species. ABSTRACT Avian haemosporidian infections have been associated with disease outbreaks in zoos and rehabilitation centers globally. This study aimed to determine the

Harnessing Advanced Molecular and Digital Tools for Early Detection of Vector‐Borne Pathogens in Mosquitoes to Control the Emergence and Resurgence of Infectious Diseases

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) transmitted by mosquitoes and other arthropods remain a major global health concern, responsible for millions of infections and deaths annually. These include malaria (Plasmodium spp.), dengue, Zika, chikungunya, West Nile fever, filariasis (Wuchereria bancrofti), leishmaniasis (Leishmania spp.), and Lyme disease (Borrelia ...

Do topical repellents divert mosquitoes within a community? Health equity implications of topical repellents as a mosquito bite prevention tool. [PDF]

, 2013
OBJECTIVES: Repellents do not kill mosquitoes--they simply reduce human-vector contact. Thus it is possible that individuals who do not use repellents but dwell close to repellent users experience more bites than otherwise.

Mosquito fauna on the Cape Verde Islands (West Africa): an update on species distribution and a new finding [PDF]

, 2010
To evaluate the risk of transmission of vector-borne diseases, regular updates of the geographic distribution of insect vectors are required. In the archipelago of Cape Verde, nine mosquito species have been reported.

Emergence of Culex pipiens from Overwintering Hibernacula

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2011
Overwintering populations of Culex pipiens, the principal enzootic vector of West Nile virus in the northeastern USA, were studied over 3 consecutive winters from 2006 to 2008, using mark-recapture techniques to determine when Cx. pipiens females began to disperse from overwintering hibernacula and how their survival influenced early season populations.
