The biological control of disease vectors
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2012Vector-borne diseases are common in nature and can have a large impact on humans, livestock and crops. Biological control of vectors using natural enemies or competitors can reduce vector density and hence disease transmission. However, the indirect interactions inherent in host-vector disease systems make it difficult to use traditional pest control ...

Values for victims and vectors of disease
Journal of Medical Ethics, 2021John and Curran have convincingly shown that Scanlonian contractualism is a valuable resource for evaluating pandemic response policies, and that we should reject cost–benefit analysis in favour of a contractualist framework. However, they fail to consider the part of contractualism that Scanlon constructed precisely to deal with the question of when ...

Learning and memory in disease vectors
Trends in Parasitology, 2002All animals can learn to some extent and it should not be surprising to discover that important vectors can also be influenced by experience. The potential effect of memory on vector behaviour, particularly vectorial capacity, has barely been investigated.

Models for Vectors and Vector-Borne Diseases
2006The development of models for species' distributions is briefly reviewed, concentrating on logistic regression and discriminant analytical methods. Improvements in each type of modelling approach have led to increasingly accurate model predictions. This review addresses several key issues that now confront those wishing to choose the "right" sort of ...

1990
The quest for better health and a happier society has always been one of the prime objectives of man. This has persuaded almost all the advanced countries of the world to conquer most of the metabolic, CNS-CVS, viral, microbial and parasitic diseases.

The Vector of the Lyme Disease Spirochete
New England Journal of Medicine, 1992The deer ticks (Ixodes dammini) that transmit the Lyme disease spirochete (Borrelia burgdorferi) in the northeastern United States are members of a morphologically similar group of "black-legged ticks" that includes the wood tick (I. ricinus) of Europe and the taiga tick (I. persulcatus) of Asia.

Vectors for the treatment of autoimmune disease
Gene Therapy, 2003Gene therapy has been applied in a variety of experimental models of autoimmunity with some success. In this article, we outline recent developments in gene therapy vectors, discuss advantages and disadvantages of each, and highlight their recent applications in autoimmune models.

Vectors and Vector-Borne Diseases
2014Vektörler ve vektörlerle bulaşan hastalıklar; son yıllarda küresel ısınmaya bağlı meydana gelen iklimsel değişiklikler ve azalan kaynaklar, ağaçların yok edilmesi, ilaçlara karşı direnç gelişmesi, patojenlerin genetiklerindeki değişiklikler, kontrolsüz insan ve hayvan hareketleri, sağlıksız kentleşme gibi sebeplerden dolayı tekrar önem ...

Genetic technologies for disease vectors
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2015The first genetic technologies for insect vectors of disease were introduced 20 years ago. As of today there are 12 classes of genetic technologies used as functional genomic tools for insect vectors of important diseases. Although the applications of genetic technologies in insect disease vectors have been conducted primarily in mosquitoes, other ...

Tabanids as vectors of disease agents
Parasitology Today, 1989The Tabanidae are considered to be among the major Dipteran pests of man and animals worldwide, but this group is undoubtedly the least studied. There have been at least 137 genera and 4154 species of tabanids described to date. Yet, existing, active research programmes number, at most, 50 in systematics and distribution, 15 in economic entomology, and
