How to engage communities on a large scale? Lessons from World Mosquito Program in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

Gates Open Research, 2020
One of the pillars of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Vector Control Response 2017–2030 strategy is the engagement of communities. Among the priority activities, defined by 2022 by the WHO, is the development of plans for the effective ...

Reproductive phase locking of mosquito populations in response to rainfall frequency. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
The frequency of moderate to heavy rainfall events is projected to change in response to global warming. Here we show that these hydrologic changes may have a profound effect on mosquito population dynamics and rates of mosquito-borne disease ...

Impact of the microbiome on mosquito-borne diseases

Protein & Cell, 2023
Abstract Mosquito-borne diseases present a significant threat to human health, with the possibility of outbreaks of new mosquito-borne diseases always looming. Unfortunately, current measures to combat these diseases such as vaccines and drugs are often either unavailable or ineffective.

Mosquito-borne diseases in Assam [PDF]

International Journal of Mosquito Research, 2021
Mosquito-borne diseases are of major public health concern in the northeastern state of Assam, India. The most common among them include Malaria, Dengue, Japanese encephalitis (JE), and Lymphatic filariasis (LF), while Malaria and JE being predominant and spread across the state.

Non-linear associations between meteorological factors, ambient air pollutants and major mosquito-borne diseases in Thailand.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
BackgroundTransmission intensity for mosquito-borne diseases are highly heterogenous and multi-factorial. Understanding risk factors associated to disease transmission allow the optimization of vector control.

The AWED trial (Applying Wolbachia to Eliminate Dengue) to assess the efficacy of Wolbachia-infected mosquito deployments to reduce dengue incidence in Yogyakarta, Indonesia: study protocol for a cluster randomised controlled trial

Trials, 2018
Background Dengue and other arboviruses transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, including Zika and chikungunya, present an increasing public health challenge in tropical regions. Current vector control strategies have failed to curb disease transmission,

Mosquito‐borne disease and newborn health [PDF]

Health Economics, 2021
AbstractWhile mosquito‐borne diseases are currently most prevalent in mid‐latitude countries, rising global temperatures could expand their range. This paper investigates whether one such disease, dengue, harms newborns. The empirical design exploits epidemiological patterns of the disease spreading.

Reflections on a highly unusual summer: bushfires, COVID-19 and mosquito-borne disease in NSW, Australia

Public Health Research & Practice, 2020
Mosquitoes and mosquito-borne disease are a normal part of the Australian summer but the 2019–2020 summer was anything but normal. Above average temperatures and below average rainfall resulted in drought across many parts of New South Wales (NSW ...
