Modeling Control of Invasive Fire Ants by Gene Drive
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The fire ant Solenopsis invicta is characterized by exceptional invasive capabilities, rendering conventional control ineffective. Here, we explore the use of homing suppression gene drive in fire ants by developing a spatially explicit model. Overall, these results show that target population suppression requires an extended time scale, but that gene ...

ANTI-MOSQUITO BEHAVIOR OF ADULT AND JUVENILE WHITE-FOOTED MICE (PEROMYSCUS LEUCOPUS) (TREEHOLE MOSQUITO, AEDES TRISERIATUS, EPIDEMIOLOGY) [PDF]
, 1986 Rodents seldom are identified as hosts for mosquitoes, based on serological analysis of bloodmeals. However, due to limited survey and lack of sensitivity in most bloodmeal analyses, host species can be misrepresented or undetected. Knowledge of behavior
