Insect‐specific viruses used in biocontrol of mosquito‐borne diseases
Interdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Insect‐specific RNA viruses (ISRVs) are involved in a wide range of families including Flaviviridae, Bunyaviridae, Negeviruses, Togaviridae, Reoviridae, Mesoniviridae, and Rhabdoviridae, which cannot infect vertebrates, including humans. However, ISRVs can infect and replicate in mosquitoes, interfering with the replication of mosquito‐borne viruses ...

Understanding the information landscape in agricultural communities in rural Bangladesh
THE ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, Volume 89, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Knowledge sharing in rural agricultural communities is vital to the success of farmers and sustaining high yields. A range of actors in the knowledge landscape participate in knowledge sharing, and with this, a variety of complexities are introduced.

Geometric morphometrics of nine field isolates of Aedes aegypti with different resistance levels to lambda-cyhalothrin and relative fitness of one artificially selected for resistance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Aedes aegypti, a mosquito closely associated with humans, is the principal vector of dengue virus which currently infects about 400 million people worldwide.

Evaluating the Usefulness of Paratransgenesis for Malaria Control [PDF]
, 2013 Malaria is a serious global health problem which is especially devastating to the developing world. Mosquitoes are the carriers of the parasite responsible for the disease, and hence malaria control programs focus on controlling mosquito populations. This is done primarily through the spraying of insecticides, or through the use of insecticide treated ...

Insecticide control in a Dengue epidemics model [PDF]
AIP Conf. Proc. 1281 (2010), no. 1, 979--982, 2010 A model for the transmission of dengue disease is presented. It consists of eight mutually-exclusive compartments representing the human and vector dynamics. It also includes a control parameter (insecticide) in order to fight the mosquitoes. The main goal of this work is to investigate the best way to apply the control in order to effectively reduce ...

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 339, Issue 1, Page 46-62, January 1, 2023., 2023 We validated a new high‐throughput system based on nanocomputers connected to cameras automatically tracking movements of single mites. Our results confirm the existence of a volatile pheromone deposited by D. gallinae and attractive to conspecifics.

An optimal control approach to malaria prevention via insecticide-treated nets [PDF]
Conference Papers in Mathematics, vol. 2013, Article ID 658468, 8
pages, 2013, 2013 Malaria is a life threatening disease, entirely preventable and treatable, provided the currently recommended interventions are properly implemented. These interventions include vector control through the use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). However, ITN possession does not necessarily translate into use.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020 The extensive use of insecticides for vector control has led to the development of insecticide resistance in Aedes aegypti populations on a global scale, which has significantly compromised control actions.

Insights from agriculture for the management of insecticide resistance in disease vectors
Evolutionary Applications, 2018 Key to contemporary management of diseases such as malaria, dengue, and filariasis is control of the insect vectors responsible for transmission. Insecticide‐based interventions have contributed to declines in disease burdens in many areas, but this ...
