Efficacy of Wolbachia-infected mosquito deployments for the control of dengue

New England Journal of Medicine, 2021
Background: Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia pipientis (wMel strain) have reduced potential to transmit dengue viruses. Methods: We conducted a cluster randomised trial of deployments of wMel-infected Ae.

Plant-Based Bioinsecticides for Mosquito Control: Impact on Insecticide Resistance and Disease Transmission

Insects, 2022
Simple Summary Mosquito-borne diseases cause millions of deaths each year. There has been an increase in the use of insecticides to combat disease transmission caused by mosquitoes. Synthetic insecticides have been effectively used to protect humans from

Combating mosquito-borne diseases using genetic control technologies

Nature Communications, 2021
Mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue and malaria, pose significant global health burdens. Unfortunately, current control methods based on insecticides and environmental maintenance have fallen short of eliminating the disease burden.

Thermal biology of mosquito‐borne disease

Ecology Letters, 2019
Mosquito‐borne diseases cause a major burden of disease worldwide. The vital rates of these ectothermic vectors and parasites respond strongly and nonlinearly to temperature and therefore to climate change.

A CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Drive System Targeting Female Reproduction in the Malaria Mosquito vector Anopheles gambiae

Nature Biotechnology, 2015
Gene drive systems that enable super-Mendelian inheritance of a transgene have the potential to modify insect populations over a timeframe of a few years.

A Systematic Review of Mosquito Coils and Passive Emanators: Defining Recommendations for Spatial Repellency Testing Methodologies. [PDF]

, 2012
Mosquito coils, vaporizer mats and emanators confer protection against mosquito bites through the spatial action of emanated vapor or airborne pyrethroid particles.

A mosquito salivary protein promotes flavivirus transmission by activation of autophagy

Nature Communications, 2020
Transmission from an infected mosquito to a host is an essential process in the life cycle of mosquito-borne flaviviruses. Numerous studies have demonstrated that mosquito saliva facilitates viral transmission. Here we find that a saliva-specific protein,

Evaluation of the effectiveness of BG-Sentinel and CDC light traps in assessing the abundance, richness, and community composition of mosquitoes in rural and natural areas

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Vector-borne diseases are a major burden to public health. Controlling mosquitoes is considered the most effective way to prevent vector-borne disease transmission.

Transition from endemic behavior to eradication of malaria due to combined drug therapies: an agent-model approach [PDF]

, 2019
We introduce an agent-based model describing a susceptible-infectious-susceptible (SIS) system of humans and mosquitoes to predict malaria epidemiological scenarios in realistic biological conditions.

Aquatain® causes anti-oviposition, egg retention and oocyte melanization and triggers female death in Aedes aegypti

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background In arboviral disease systems where the virus can be transmitted from male to female vectors and from one generation to the next, targeting the female (especially when she is gravid) can help alter the persistence of the virus in nature and its
