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.

Mosquito-Borne Diseases and Their Control Strategies: An Overview Focused on Green Synthesized Plant-Based Metallic Nanoparticles

Insects, 2023
Simple Summary Mosquitoes are the carrier of pathogens that cause common human diseases such as malaria, Dengue, Chikungunya, yellow fever, Zika, and West Nile.

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.

Climate and urbanization drive mosquito preference for humans

bioRxiv, 2020
The majority of mosquito-borne illness is spread by a few mosquito species that have evolved to specialize in biting humans, yet the precise causes of this behavioral shift are poorly understood. We address this gap in the arboviral vector Aedes aegypti.

Mathematical Modelling of Mosquito Dispersal in a Heterogeneous Environment. [PDF]

, 2012
Mosquito dispersal is a key behavioural factor that affects the persistence and resurgence of several vector-borne diseases. Spatial heterogeneity of mosquito resources, such as hosts and breeding sites, affects mosquito dispersal behaviour and ...

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.

The effect of global change on mosquito-borne disease.

Lancet. Infectious Diseases (Print), 2019
More than 80% of the global population is at risk of a vector-borne disease, with mosquito-borne diseases being the largest contributor to human vector-borne disease burden.
