Modeling Dengue Vector Population Using Remotely Sensed Data and Machine Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Mosquitoes are vectors of many human diseases. In particular, Aedes \ae gypti (Linnaeus) is the main vector for Chikungunya, Dengue, and Zika viruses in Latin America and it represents a global threat. Public health policies that aim at combating this vector require dependable and timely information, which is usually expensive to obtain with field ...

Mapping the Genes for Susceptibility and Response to Leishmania tropica in Mouse
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 L. tropica can cause both cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis in humans. Although the L. tropica-induced cutaneous disease has been long known, its potential to visceralize in humans was recognized only recently. As nothing is known about the genetics of host responses to this infection and their clinical impact, we developed an informative animal ...
