Genetics and immunity of Anopheles response to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae overlap with immunity to Plasmodium

Scientific Reports, 2022
Entomopathogenic fungi have been explored as a potential biopesticide to counteract the insecticide resistance issue in mosquitoes. However, little is known about the possibility that genetic resistance to fungal biopesticides could evolve in mosquito ...

Ecology models and Newton vector fields

Mathematical and Computer Modelling, 1988
The paper deals with the visual examination of the global behaviour of solutions to autonomous systems of differential equations. A simple method to do this is to integrate numerically in forward time and then to draw the phase portraits and the Poincaré sections of the corresponding flows by computer.

Predicting Distribution of Aedes Aegypti and Culex Pipiens Complex, Potential Vectors of Rift Valley Fever Virus in Relation to Disease Epidemics in East Africa. [PDF]

, 2013
The East African region has experienced several Rift Valley fever (RVF) outbreaks since the 1930s. The objective of this study was to identify distributions of potential disease vectors in relation to disease epidemics.

Field Testing of Different Chemical Combinations as Odour Baits for Trapping Wild Mosquitoes in The Gambia [PDF]

, 2011
Odour baited traps have potential use in population surveillance of insect vectors of disease, and in some cases for vector population reduction. Established attractants for human host-seeking mosquitoes include a combination of CO2 with L-lactic acid ...
