Potential of Aedes aegypti populations in Madeira Island to transmit dengue and chikungunya viruses
Parasites & Vectors, 2018 Background Aedes spp. mosquitoes mainly transmit the arboviruses dengue virus (DENV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) in urban areas, causing a severe public health problem. In 2012–2013, a major dengue outbreak occurred on Madeira Island where the mosquito

Flying Insect Classification with Inexpensive Sensors [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 The ability to use inexpensive, noninvasive sensors to accurately classify flying insects would have significant implications for entomological research, and allow for the development of many useful applications in vector control for both medical and agricultural entomology. Given this, the last sixty years have seen many research efforts on this task.

Equilibrium and sensitivity analysis of a spatio-temporal host-vector epidemic model [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Insect-borne diseases are diseases carried by insects affecting humans, animals or plants. They have the potential to generate massive outbreaks such as the Zika epidemic in 2015-2016 mostly distributed in the Americas, the Pacific and Southeast Asia, and the multi-foci outbreak caused by the bacterium {\it Xylella fastidiosa} in Europe in the 2010s ...

Are all meats substitutes? A basket‐and‐expenditure‐based approach
Agribusiness, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines the relationship among animal‐based meat and plant‐based meat alternatives (PBMAs) using a basket‐and‐expenditure‐based choice experiment. In particular, we examine whether animal‐based meat products are substitutes or complements with PBMAs.

Conceptual and mathematical modeling of insect-borne plant diseases: theory and application to flavescence doree in grapevine [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Insect-borne plant diseases recur commonly in wild plants and in agricultural crops, and are responsible for severe losses in terms of produce yield and monetary return. Mathematical models of insect-borne plant diseases are therefore an essential tool to help predicting the progression of an epidemic disease and aid in decision making when control ...

Scientific Reports, 2016 Phytoplasmas are insect vectored mollicutes responsible for disease in many economically important crops. Determining which insect species are vectors of a given phytoplasma is important for managing disease but is methodologically challenging because ...
