Mosquito Oviposition Behavior and Vector Control
Insects, 2016 The burden of gene transfer from one mosquito generation to the next falls on the female and her eggs. The selection of an oviposition site that guarantees egg and larval survival is a critical step in the reproductive process.

The invasive dynamics of Aedes aegypti mosquito in a heterogenous environment [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 A reaction-diffusion-advection model is proposed and investigated to understand the invasive dynamics of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The free boundary is introduced to model the expanding front of the invasive mosquitoes in a heterogenous environment. The threshold $R^D_0$ for the model with Dirichlet boundary condition is defined and the threshold $R ...

Two-sex mosquito model for the persistence of Wolbachia [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Wolbachia is a genus of endosymbiotic bacteria that can infect mosquitoes and reduce their ability to transmit dengue virus. Although the bacterium is transmitted vertically from infected mothers to their offspring, it can be difficult to establish an endemic infection in a wild mosquito population.

A Theoretical Framework for the Analysis of the West Nile Virus Epidemic
, 2004 We present a model for the growth of West Nile virus in mosquito and bird populations based on observations of the initial epidemic in the U.S. Increase of bird mortality as a result of infection, which is a feature of the epidemic, is found to yield an ...
