Ingestion of attractive toxic sugar baits containing ivermectin before and after blood feeding affects the biology and reproduction of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Attractive toxic sugar bait containing ivermectin (ATSB‐IVM) ingestion markedly reduced blood feeding, survival, oviposition, egg production and larval hatching, with the strongest effects when baits were ingested before blood feeding. Timing of ingestion (48–96 h before or after blood feeding) shaped sublethal impacts across the first and second ...

Long‐term surveillance reveals hybridization by nuclear reassortment and intercontinental spread as major evolutionary drivers in wheat yellow rust

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Documented incursions of Puccinia striiformis 2009–2023 based on sequential resampling of MLGs/pathogen races on different continents. Summary Evolutionary forces affecting crop pathogens, including hybridization and long‐distance dispersal (LDD), may have strong implications for food security and sustainable plant disease control at global scales ...

DEpiABS: Differentiable Epidemic Agent-Based Simulator

CoRR
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the limitations of existing epidemic simulation tools. These tools provide information that guides non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), yet many struggle to capture complex dynamics while remaining computationally practical and interpretable. We introduce DEpiABS, a scalable, differentiable agent-based model (DABM)

Modelling and Simulation of a SIR-type Epidemic with Cellular Automata and Ordinary Differential Equations - Definition ARGESIM Benchmark C17R

, 2015
. This Comparison investigates a classical population model for the spread of infection diseases (SIR ordinary differential equations model by Kermack and McKendrick) and an inhomogeneous spatial approach using cellular automata. An identification of

Protein Decoys, Alcohol, and Energy Intake: Testing a Mechanistic‐Ecological Model

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ultra‐processed diets are associated with excessive energy intake, but studies examining the role of alcohol have produced conflicting results, despite the high energy density of ethanol. We constructed a mechanistic‐ecological model to explain this inconsistency and tested its predictions using population dietary data.

Structured Inequality, Uncertain Lifespans: Demographic Perspectives on Predicting Individual‐Level Longevity

Population and Development Review, EarlyView.
Abstract There are striking disparities in life expectancy across sociodemographic groups in the United States, shaped by structural forces such as racism, class inequality, and policy environments. To what extent do sociodemographic characteristics structure—or fail to structure—individual lifespans? Using U.S.
