Sunshine versus gold: The effect of population age on genetic structure of an invasive mosquito
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The genetic diversity and structure of invasive species are affected by the time since invasion, but it is not well understood how. We compare likely the oldest populations of Aedes aegypti in continental North America with some of the newest to ...

Effects of inbreeding and genetic modification on
, 2010 Background Genetic modification of mosquitoes offers a promising strategy for the prevention and control of mosquito-borne diseases. For such a strategy to be effective, it is critically important that engineered strains are competitive enough to serve ...

Urbanization and Vector Species Shape Avian Malaria Prevalence in Mosquitoes
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Avian malaria prevalence was assessed in two mosquito species across urban and peri‐urban habitats. No infections were detected in either species in urban areas, while a 2.53% prevalence was found in the native Culex pipiens from peri‐urban sites, highlighting the influence of urbanization on parasite transmission dynamics.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.To help ensure the growth and persistence of frog populations, we quantified changes in frog occurrence as a function of concurrent changes in land cover in the surrounding landscape of eight marsh‐breeding frog species, or groups of species. We used data from the Great Lakes Marsh Monitoring Program delivered by Birds Canada at 377 sites across four ...

The Moral (Un)Desirability of New Biomedical Technologies as Potential Techno‐Fixes
Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The techno‐fix argument, used to argue against technological interventions that address the consequences of social problems instead of their underlying causes, is increasingly invoked in biomedical discussions. However, especially in biomedicine, the techno‐fix argument remains conceptually underdeveloped.

Mosquitoes as vectors of human disease in South Africa
South African Family Practice, 2005 While malaria is the most important mosquito-borne disease in South Africa, there are also several mosquito-borne viruses that also cause human disease. The most significant are chikungunya, West Nile, Sindbis and Rift Valley fever viruses.

In the heart of the city: Trypanosoma cruzi infection prevalence in rodents across New Orleans
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background Trypanosoma cruzi - the causative agent of Chagas disease - is known to circulate in commensal pests, but its occurrence in urban environments is not well understood.
