Wolbachia versus dengue: Evolutionary forecasts. [PDF]
, 2013 A novel form of biological control is being applied to the dengue virus. The agent is the maternally transmitted bacterium Wolbachia, naturally absent from the main dengue vector, the mosquito Aedes aegypti.

THE ELIMINATION OF THE MOSQUITO. [PDF]
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1905 I am quite sure that the members of the American Medical Association are familiar with the general literature regarding mosquitoes, and that a detailed account of the different varieties of these insects, their anatomy, method of development and the physiologic reason why they transmit disease is unnecessary.

Climate-driven variation in mosquito density predicts the spatiotemporal dynamics of dengue
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Using extensive data on dengue fever and mosquito density, we demonstrate that local weather conditions, through their impact on the variation of mosquito abundance, are a driver of dengue dynamics in China.

Metallic copper spray – a new control technique to combat invasive container-inhabiting mosquitoes
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 Background The control of container-inhabiting mosquitoes is mainly based on environmental management with special emphasis on community participation e.g. source reduction by elimination or modification of water bodies.

Unravelling the immune signature of Plasmodium falciparum transmission-reducing immunity [PDF]
, 2018 Infection with Plasmodium can elicit antibodies that inhibit parasite survival in the mosquito, when they are ingested in an infectious blood meal. Here, we determine the transmission-reducing activity (TRA) of naturally acquired antibodies from 648 ...

Can field-based mosquito feeding assays be used for evaluating transmission-blocking interventions?
, 2012 A recent meta-analysis of mosquito feeding assays to determine the Plasmodium falciparum transmission potential of naturally infected gametocyte carriers highlighted considerable variation in transmission efficiency between assay methodologies and ...

RaspberryPI for mosquito neutralization by power laser [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In this article for the first time, comprehensive studies of mosquito neutralization using machine vision and a 1 W power laser are considered. Developed laser installation with Raspberry Pi that changing the direction of the laser with a galvanometer. We developed a program for mosquito tracking in real.
