Spatiotemporal patterns in British racing and equestrian sports: Implications for pathogen transmission

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The widespread assumption that there is minimal potential for pathogen transmission between British racehorse and sport horse populations remains unverified by empirical evidence. Objectives To characterise spatiotemporal patterns of horse attendance at racing and other sport events in Great Britain in 2018.

The Ecological Factors Associated With the Survival, Establishment, and Movement of Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus: A Scoping Review

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus are mosquito species of public health significance and collectively responsible for the transmission of several arboviruses. Ongoing climatic changes are anticipated to have impacts on their survival, establishment, and movement.

Exploring Mosquito Excreta as an Alternative Sample Type for Improving Arbovirus Surveillance in Australia

Pathogens
Current arbovirus surveillance strategies in Australia involve mosquito collection, species identification, and virus detection. These processes are labour-intensive, expensive, and time-consuming and can lead to delays in reporting. Mosquito excreta has

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

Zoonotic anxieties: The cultural politics of Nepal's quest for pandemic preparedness

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Based on fieldwork conducted in Nepal (2022–2024) and by paying attention to how local and transnational notions of epidemiological risk are deployed, this ethnography introduces the concept of “zoonotic anxieties” to make sense of the multi‐species relational ethos that contemporary global health regimes propose.

Spatial and temporal dynamics of malaria transmission in rural western Kenya [PDF]

, 2012
: BACKGROUND: Understanding the impact of reducing Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission requires estimates of the relationship between health outcomes and exposure to infectious mosquitoes. However, measures of exposure such as mosquito density and

Mosquito and arbovirus surveillance in wetlands of South‐East England: Comparison of two adult mosquito traps, use of a novel trap with FTA™ cards and arbovirus testing

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Trap performance: Mosquito Magnet® captured significantly more mosquitoes overall, while BG‐Sentinel showed greater species evenness and was more effective for Culex pipiens s.l. and broader species representation. Spatial variation: Mosquito abundance and species composition varied significantly between wetlands, highlighting the importance of site ...

Evidence for West Nile Virus and Usutu Virus Infections in Wild and Resident Birds in Germany, 2017 and 2018 [PDF]

, 2019
Wild birds play an important role as reservoir hosts and vectors for zoonotic arboviruses and foster their spread. Usutu virus (USUV) has been circulating endemically in Germany since 2011, while West Nile virus (WNV) was first diagnosed in several bird ...
