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.

Hosts as ecological traps for the vector of Lyme disease [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009 Vectors of infectious diseases are generally thought to be regulated by abiotic conditions such as climate or the availability of specific hosts or habitats. In this study we tested whether blacklegged ticks, the vectors of Lyme disease, granulocytic anaplasmosis and babesiosis can be regulated by the species of vertebrate hosts on which they ...

Japanese encephalitis: the vectors, ecology and potential for expansion [PDF]
Journal of Travel Medicine, 2018 Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a viral disease predominantly located in South East Asia and commonly associated with transmission between amplifying hosts, such as pigs, and the mosquito Culex tritaeniorhynchus, where human infection represents a dead end in the life cycle of the virus.

Vector Immunity and Evolutionary Ecology: The Harmonious Dissonance [PDF]
Trends in Immunology, 2018 Recent scientific breakthroughs have significantly expanded our understanding of arthropod vector immunity. Insights in the laboratory have demonstrated how the immune system provides resistance to infection, and in what manner innate defenses protect against a microbial assault.

Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2018 Background Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) continue to represent a global threat, with “old” diseases like malaria, and “emergent” or “re-emergent” ones like Zika, because of an increase in international trade, demographic growth, and rapid urbanization. In

Sensory ecology of disease vectors
, 2022 How do arthropods that transmit human pathogens perceive their world? The answer is essential for controlling the spread of vector-borne diseases in a rational way, and can help solve a major problem in current times. This state-of-the-art compendium, written for students and researchers in the Life Sciences, shows how these organisms use their sensory
