CAPA neuropeptides and their receptor form an anti-diuretic hormone signalling system in the human disease vector, Aedes aegypti [PDF]

, 2020
Insect CAPA neuropeptides are homologs of mammalian neuromedin U and are known to influence ion and water balance by regulating the activity of the Malpighian ‘renal’ tubules (MTs).

Modelling the Requirements and Benefits of Mosquito Control Interventions in the Presence of Mosquito Dispersal [PDF]

, 2012
Vector control methods are widely used as a means to control malaria, however, the role of spatial arrangement when deploying these interventions is not well known.

Mapping of Aedes albopictus abundance at a local scale in Italy [PDF]

, 2017
Given the growing risk of arbovirus outbreaks in Europe, there is a clear need to better describe the distribution of invasive mosquito species such as Aedes albopictus. Current challenges consist in simulating Ae. albopictus abundance, rather than its

Ecology: a prerequisite for malaria elimination and eradication [PDF]

, 2010
* Existing front-line vector control measures, such as insecticide-treated nets and residual sprays, cannot break the transmission cycle of Plasmodium falciparum in the most intensely endemic parts of Africa and the Pacific * The goal of malaria ...

Using spatial genetics to quantify mosquito dispersal for control programs

BMC Biology, 2020
Background Hundreds of millions of people get a mosquito-borne disease every year and nearly one million die. Transmission of these infections is primarily tackled through the control of mosquito vectors. The accurate quantification of mosquito dispersal

Comparison of immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction for detection of West Nile virus in naturally infected dead birds

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2010
Introduction: Credible vector-borne disease surveillance programs, especially in developing countries with limited resources, must include diagnostic tests that are efficient, inexpensive and simple and safe to administer while maintaining high levels ...

Genetic Control of Mosquitoes

Annual Review of Entomology, 2014
Genetics can potentially provide new, species-specific, environmentally friendly methods for mosquito control. Genetic control strategies aim either to suppress target populations or to introduce a harm-reducing novel trait. Different approaches differ considerably in their properties, especially between self-limiting strategies, where the ...
