Improving Wolbachia-Based Control Programs in Urban Settings: Insights from Spatial Modeling [PDF]
arXivArboviral diseases remain a major public health concern, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions where mosquito populations thrive. One promising strategy to curb transmission is the release of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia, a bacterium that reduces their ability to spread viruses. However, past large-scale releases have not

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the complex dynamics of dengue transmission by incorporating time delay into a comprehensive model. The model is designed to capture several essential components, including steady‐state events, immune waning, recuperation from infection, and partial shielding in human populations.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Integrating diverse trees and shrubs (hereafter ‘trees’) in agricultural landscapes has emerged as a crucial nature‐based solution to the triple challenge of biodiversity loss, climate change and food security. The potential benefits of on‐farm trees for both people and nature, however, are often constrained by inadequate consideration of ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Decisions on whether and how to manage introduced species can be controversial, but public attitudes towards introduced species management (ISM) are poorly understood. Despite the potential disruptive impacts of such controversies on public relations and conservation goals, decision‐makers are currently left with little information on the ...

(Re) growing plant awareness: A Delphi study
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Without a robust construct, it is currently difficult for researchers to systematically assess and facilitate a societal shift toward greater plant awareness. Using a Delphi study, we take a first step towards such construct by developing a definition and testable dimensions.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Huánglóngbìng (HLB) is a bacterial disease of citrus that has significantly impacted Brazil and the United States, although citrus production in the Mediterranean Basin remains unaffected. By developing a mathematical model of spread in Spain, we tested surveillance and control strategies before any future HLB entry in the EU.
