Screening mosquito house entry points as a potential method for integrated control of endophagic filariasis, arbovirus and malaria vectors. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND\ud \ud Partial mosquito-proofing of houses with screens and ceilings has the potential to reduce indoor densities of malaria mosquitoes. We wish to measure whether it will also reduce indoor densities of vectors of neglected tropical diseases.\

Diet and leishmaniasis in the Ecuadorian Amazon

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract In Ecuador's Amazon, Indigenous communities affected by leishmaniasis often modify their diets as part of their health‐seeking practices. Drawing on qualitative research with sixty‐eight participants from seven Indigenous groups, this study explores how and why patients’ diets shift in pursuit of healing from leishmaniasis.

Generics favor stability

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Humans seek to predict, explain, and control their environments. Generalizations—like those expressed by “children like candy” and “cigarettes cause cancer”—provide one resource to facilitate these tasks. We develop a proposal tying the acceptability judgments of generics to the psychological functions of generalizations.

Climate change and mosquito-borne disease.

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2001
Global atmospheric temperatures are presently in a warming phase that began 250--300 years ago. Speculations on the potential impact of continued warming on human health often focus on mosquito-borne diseases. Elementary models suggest that higher global temperatures will enhance their transmission rates and extend their geographic ranges. However, the

Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...
