Smart wing rotation and trailing-edge vortices enable high frequency mosquito flight
Nature, 2017 Mosquitoes exhibit unusual wing kinematics; their long, slender wings flap at remarkably high frequencies for their size (>800 Hz)and with lower stroke amplitudes than any other insect group. This shifts weight support away from the translation-dominated,

Wolbachia invasion to wild mosquito population in stochastic environment [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Releasing sterile Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes to invade wild mosquito population is a method of mosquito control. In this paper, a stochastic mosquito population model with Wolbachia invasion perturbed by environmental fluctuation is studied. Firstly, well-posedness, positivity and Markov-Feller property of solution for this model are proved.

Automated detection of Zika and dengue in Aedes aegypti using neural spiking analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Mosquito-borne diseases present considerable risks to the health of both animals and humans. Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are the primary vectors for numerous medically important viruses such as dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and chikungunya. To characterize this mosquito neural activity, it is essential to classify the generated electrical spikes.

Phenoloxidase activity acts as a mosquito innate immune response against infection with semliki forest virus [PDF]
, 2012 Several components of the mosquito immune system including the RNA interference (RNAi), JAK/STAT, Toll and IMD pathways have previously been implicated in controlling arbovirus infections.

Effects of Mosquito Control Chemicals on Aquatic Fauna [PDF]
, 1974 No mosquito abatement districts have ever been organized in Arkansas. Mosquito control efforts have been largely adulticiding operations by either aerial application or ground thermal fogging machines.
