The Ecology and Evolution of Japanese Encephalitis Virus

open access: yesPathogens, 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),

Ecology models and Newton vector fields

open access: yesMathematical 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]

open access: yesProceedings 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 ...

Vector Immunity and Evolutionary Ecology: The Harmonious Dissonance [PDF]

open access: yesTrends 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.

Evaluation of resting traps to examine the behaviour and ecology of mosquito vectors in an area of rapidly changing land use in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2018
Widespread deforestation occurring in the tropics is hypothesized to impact the transmission of vector-borne diseases (VBD). Predicting how environmental changes will impact VBD transmission is dependent on understanding the ecology and behaviour of ...

Invasion Biology, Ecology, and Management of Western Flower Thrips.

open access: yesAnnual Review of Entomology, 2020
Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, first arose as an important invasive pest of many crops during the 1970s-1980s. The tremendous growth in international agricultural trade that developed then fostered the invasiveness of western flower ...
