Ecology of parasite-vector interactions
2013Vector-borne diseases continue to be one of the most important determinants affecting human and animal health. Large numbers of people suffer from diseases like malaria, dengue, filariasis and leishmaniasis, especially in the tropics. Whereas these diseases were eradicated from the temperate climate zones, in recent years the rising incidence of ...

Keds, the enigmatic flies and their role as vectors of pathogens.
Acta Tropica, 2020Hippoboscid flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), commonly known as keds or louse flies, have been for long time overlooked by the scientific community, and their vector role of infectious agents to humans and domestic animals has been scantly investigated ...

Vector generalized additive models in plant ecology
Ecological Modelling, 2002Abstract The class of vector generalized linear and additive models (VGLMs and VGAMs) are very large and encompasses many statistical distributions and models. In particular, the classical exponential family containing the normal, binomial and Poisson are a small subset of this family.

Modelling ecological niches with support vector machines
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2006SummaryThe ecological niche is a fundamental biological concept. Modelling species’ niches is central to numerous ecological applications, including predicting species invasions, identifying reservoirs for disease, nature reserve design and forecasting the effects of anthropogenic and natural climate change on species’ ranges.A computational analogue ...

Chemical ecology of insect vectors: the neglected temporal dimension
Trends in Parasitology, 2004Insect chemical ecology is a well-established discipline that studies the nature and function of natural chemicals mediating interactions among organisms. Research in this area has led to the identification of substances used to bait targets and traps, which proved to be effective in the control and monitor of insect pests [1,2].

Chemical ecology of triatomine bugs: vectors of Chagas disease
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2001Abstract. Knowledge of chemical ecology of haematophagous triatomine bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae) could be of practical value because this polyphyletic subfamily includes species of medical importance, such as vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas ...
