Modeling the transmission of Wolbachia in mosquitoes for controlling mosquito-borne diseases [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2018, 2017 We develop and analyze an ordinary differential equation model to assess the potential effectiveness of infecting mosquitoes with the Wolbachia bacteria to control the ongoing mosquito-borne epidemics, such as dengue fever, chikungunya, and Zika. Wolbachia is a natural parasitic microbe that stops the proliferation of the harmful viruses inside the ...

Distribution of mosquito larvae in rice field habitats: A spatial scale analysis in semi-field condition [PDF]
, 2019 The distribution of the mosquito larvae in the breeding habitats varies at the spatial scale depending on the availability of the resources and the predators.

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 ...

Predicting Future Mosquito Larval Habitats Using Time Series Climate Forecasting and Deep Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Mosquito habitat ranges are projected to expand due to climate change. This investigation aims to identify future mosquito habitats by analyzing preferred ecological conditions of mosquito larvae. After assembling a data set with atmospheric records and larvae observations, a neural network is trained to predict larvae counts from ecological inputs ...

Journal of Hygiene, 1906 In a previous paper on Bird Trypanosomes it was pointed out that these organisms grew readily in the test-tube on blood agar and that the resulting forms resembled the flagellates which Schaudinn found in the gut of mosquitoes which had fed on owls infected with Halteridium and with H. Ziemanni.

A Mosquito is Worth 16x16 Larvae: Evaluation of Deep Learning Architectures for Mosquito Larvae Classification [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs), such as dengue virus, chikungunya virus, and West Nile virus, cause over one million deaths globally every year. Because many such diseases are spread by the Aedes and Culex mosquitoes, tracking these larvae becomes critical in mitigating the spread of MBDs. Even as citizen science grows and obtains larger mosquito image

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 ...
