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 ...

A Simple and Efficient Tool for Trapping Gravid Anopheles at Breeding Sites. [PDF]
, 2011 No effective tool currently exists for trapping ovipositing malaria vectors. This creates a gap in our ability to investigate the behavior and ecology of gravid Anopheles.\ud Here we describe a simple trap that collects ovipositing Anopheline and ...

The Ecology and Evolution of Japanese Encephalitis Virus
Pathogens, 2021 Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus mainly spread by Culex mosquitoes that currently has a geographic distribution across most of Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific. Infection with JEV can cause Japanese encephalitis (JE),

Wolbachia: endosymbiont of onchocercid nematodes and their vectors
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Wolbachia is an obligate intracellular maternally transmitted, gram-negative bacterium which forms a spectrum of endosymbiotic relationships from parasitism to obligatory mutualism in a wide range of arthropods and onchocercid nematodes, respectively. In

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.

Ecology: a prerequisite for malaria elimination and eradication [PDF]
, 2010 * Existing front-line vector control measures, such as insecticide-treated nets and residual sprays, cannot break the transmission cycle of Plasmodium falciparum in the most intensely endemic parts of Africa and the Pacific * The goal of malaria ...

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.
