Automating the Surveillance of Mosquito Vectors from Trapped Specimens Using Computer Vision Techniques [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Among all animals, mosquitoes are responsible for the most deaths worldwide. Interestingly, not all types of mosquitoes spread diseases, but rather, a select few alone are competent enough to do so. In the case of any disease outbreak, an important first step is surveillance of vectors (i.e., those mosquitoes capable of spreading diseases).

Validation of a multi-residue method to determine deltamethrin and alpha-cypermethrin in mosquito nets by gas chromatography with electron capture detection (GC-µECD) [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Nowadays long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets (LNs) are frequently used around the world to protect people against malaria vectors. As they contain insecticide, laboratory control is needed to check whether the content of the active ...

Novel factors of Anopheles gambiae haemocyte immune response to Plasmodium berghei infection [PDF]
, 2016 Background Insect haemocytes mediate cellular immune responses (e.g., phagocytosis) and contribute to the synthesis of humoral immune factors. In previous work, a genome-wide molecular characterization of Anopheles gambiae circulating haemocytes was ...

A discrete-time dynamical system of wild mosquito population with Allee effects [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We study a discrete-time dynamical system of wild mosquito population with parameters: $\beta$ - the birth rate of adults; $\alpha$ - maximum emergence rate; $\mu>0$ - the death rate of adults; $\gamma$ - Allee effects. We prove that if $\gamma\geq\frac{\alpha(\beta-\mu)}{\mu^2}$ then the mosquito population dies and if $\gamma<\frac{\alpha(\beta-\mu)}{
