Multistage spatial model for informing release of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes as disease control [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Wolbachia is a naturally occurring bacterium that can infect Aedes mosquitoes and reduce the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases, including dengue fever, Zika, and chikungunya. Field trials have been conducted worldwide to suppress local epidemics.

Isolation of a Novel Pythium Species, P. thermoculicivorax, and Trichoderma sp. from Natural Enzootic Mosquito Larval Infections

open access: yesJournal of Fungi
Only a handful of microbial mosquito larval pathogens have been described to date. Sampling several natural enzootic infections of mosquito larvae in southwestern Florida indicated the presence of microbial pathogens capable of extensive larval mortality.

Mating versus alternative blood sources as determinants to mosquito abundance and population resilience [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
A deterministic nonlinear ordinary differential equation model for mosquito dynamics in which the mosquitoes can quest for blood either within a human population or within non-human/vertebrate populations is derived and studied. The model captures both the mosquito's aquatic and terrestrial forms and includes a mechanism to investigate the impact of ...
