Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Mechanistic‐Statistical Inference of Mosquito Dynamics From Mark‐Release‐Recapture Data

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 3, July 2026.
Mark‐release‐recapture data contain valuable information on mosquito dispersal and survival, but this information is only indirectly observed through trap counts. We combine a mechanistic diffusion model with a statistical observation model to infer movement, mortality, and trap efficiency jointly.
