Automating the Surveillance of Mosquito Vectors from Trapped Specimens Using Computer Vision Techniques

, 2020
Among all animals, mosquitoes are responsible for the most deaths worldwide. Interestingly, not all types of mosquitoes spread diseases, but rather, a select few alone are competent enough to do so. In the case of any disease outbreak, an important first

Entomological characterization of malaria in northern Colombia through vector and parasite species identification, and analyses of spatial distribution and infection rates [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Malaria remains a worldwide public health concern and, in Colombia, despite the efforts to stop malaria transmission, the incidence of cases has increased over the last few years. In this context, it is necessary to evaluate vector diversity,

Mosquito Surveillance in Mexico: The Use of Ovitraps for Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, and Non-Target Species

Florida Entomologist, 2018
Vector-borne diseases are of great public health concern in Mexico. Timely surveillance and control measures require methods to quickly detect mosquito population fluctuations.

Novel approaches to improve mosquito surveillance

, 2023
Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) act as vectors of several pathogens that cause serious diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever, Zika, chikungunya, or West Nile fever, accounting for hundreds of thousands of human deaths every year. Mosquito surveillance allows to gather relevant information about the vector (presence, distribution, status ...

Lymphatic Filariasis Control in Tanzania: Effect of Six Rounds of Mass Drug Administration with Ivermectin and Albendazole on Infection and Transmission. [PDF]

, 2013
Control of lymphatic filariasis (LF) in most countries of sub-Saharan Africa is based on annual mass drug administration (MDA) with a combination of ivermectin and albendazole, in order to interrupt transmission. We present findings from a detailed study

Mosquito Surveillance Revealed Lagged Effects of Mosquito Abundance on Mosquito-Borne Disease Transmission: A Retrospective Study in Zhejiang, China

PLoS ONE, 2014
Mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs) are still threats to public health in Zhejiang. In this study, the associations between the time-lagged mosquito capture data and MBDs incidence over five years were used to examine the potential effects of mosquito abundance on patterns of MBDs epidemiology in Zhejiang during 2008-2012.

Human behaviors: a threat for mosquito control?

, 2015
Community involvement and the preventive behavior of households are considered to be at the heart of vector-control strategies. In this work, we consider a simple theoretical model that enables us to take into account human behaviors that may interfere ...

Sampling Design and Mosquito Trapping for Surveillance of Arboviral Activity

, 2017
Mosquitoes are the most important vectors for arboviral human diseases across the world. Diseases such as Dengue Fever (DF), West Nile Virus (WNV), Yellow Fever (YF), Japanese Encephalitis (JE), Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis (VEE), and St. Louis Encephalitis (SLE), among others, have a deep impact in public health.
