Novel control strategies for mosquito-borne diseases
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2020 Mosquito-borne diseases are an increasing global health challenge, threatening over 40% of the world's population. Despite major advances in malaria control since 2000, recent progress has stalled.

Ecological immunology of mosquito-malaria interactions: Of non-natural versus natural model systems and their inferences [PDF]
, 2009 There has been a recent shift in the literature on mosquito/Plasmodium interactions with an increasingly large number of theoretical and experimental studies focusing on their population biology and evolutionary processes.

Mosquito-borne arboviruses of African origin: review of key viruses and vectors
Parasites & Vectors, 2018 Key aspects of 36 mosquito-borne arboviruses indigenous to Africa are summarized, including lesser or poorly-known viruses which, like Zika, may have the potential to escape current sylvatic cycling to achieve greater geographical distribution and ...

Parasites & Vectors, 2019 Background The World Mosquito Program uses Wolbachia pipientis for the biocontrol of arboviruses transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Diagnostic testing for Wolbachia in laboratory colonies and in field-caught mosquito populations has typically ...

Communications Biology, 2023 Globally invasive Aedes aegypti disseminate numerous arboviruses that impact human health. One promising method to control Ae. aegypti populations is transinfection with Wolbachia pipientis, which naturally infects ~40–52% of insects but not Ae. aegypti.

Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Background Introgression of the bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia into Aedes aegypti populations is a biocontrol approach being used to reduce arbovirus transmission. This requires mass release of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes.

Wolbachia and arbovirus inhibition in mosquitoes [PDF]
, 2013 Wolbachia is a maternally inherited intracellular bacteria that can manipulate the reproduction of their insect hosts, and cytoplasmic incompatibility allows them to spread through mosquito populations.

Variations in household microclimate affect outdoor-biting behaviour of malaria vectors [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Mosquito behaviours including the degree to which they bite inside houses or outside is a crucial determinant of human exposure to malaria.

The mosquito holobiont: fresh insight into mosquito-microbiota interactions
Microbiome, 2018 The holobiont concept was first developed for coral ecosystems but has been extended to multiple organisms, including plants and other animals. Studies on insect-associated microbial communities have produced strong evidence that symbiotic bacteria play ...
