Optimizing microbe-infected mosquito release: a stochastic model for malaria prevention

Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics
Malaria remains a critical public health challenge in Africa, demanding innovative control strategies. This study introduces a novel approach using Microsporidia MB-infected mosquitoes and stochastic optimal control within a Lévy process framework to ...

Bacterial Muscle Necrosis in Cultured Penaeus vannamei in Latin America

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
A pathology characterized by multifocal reddish patches on the cuticle of shrimp has been reported by shrimp farmers in Latin America. These red patches are commonly associated with small black necrotic spots and white muscle necrosis. One significant impact of this pathology is the reduction in shrimp prices due to the appearance of the animals before

Changes in the Anopheles arabiensis transcriptome and gut microbiota profiles associated with Microsporidia MB

AbstractMicrosporidia MBis an endosymbiotic microbe found inAnophelesmosquito populations. This symbiont can blockPlasmodiumtransmission in mosquitoes, and it can spread through mosquito populations and be sustained over generations by vertical and horizontal transmission.
