Effectiveness of synthetic versus natural human volatiles as attractants for Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae) sensu stricto [PDF]

, 2010
Females of the African malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto, use human volatiles to find their blood-host. Previous work has shown that ammonia, lactic acid, and aliphatic carboxylic acids significantly affect host orientation and ...

Toward Dual‐Function Nanoparticle Platforms for Arboviral Diagnostics and Vaccines: Advances, Challenges, and Future Prospects

Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
This review explores nanoparticle (NP)‐based biosensors and nanovaccine platforms for arboviral infections, highlighting their design, performance, and translational potential. By comparing case studies across viruses, it identifies gold‐standard nanomaterials such as gold NPs (AuNPs), zinc oxide NPs (ZnONPs), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanocomposites,

Challenges in the surveillance and control of mosquito-borne diseases in Europe and United States. The perspective from public health experts.

One Health
The complexity of mosquito-borne diseases and the necessity for cross-sector collaboration present significant challenges, requiring changes in laws, policies, and inter-agency agreements. In this qualitative study we purposively selected and interviewed

Bed bug preferences for host odor or aggregation odor are differentially modulated by physiological state in various odorscapes

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1426-1436, February 2026.
The bed bug olfactory system is highly tuned to two odor sources with dedicated odor information‐processing pathways that are modulated by the satiety–hunger state. Understanding the dynamic nature of switching odor preferences at different phases of blood digestion will contribute to the development of lures with host kairomones and aggregation ...

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

A Regionally Determined Climate‐Informed West Nile Virus Forecast Technique

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract West Nile virus (WNV) infection has caused over 30,000 human cases of the severe, neuroinvasive form of the disease (West Nile virus Neuroinvasive Disease; WNND) and nearly 3,000 deaths in the U.S. Despite known links to observable climate factors, no effective nationwide WNV or WNND forecast exists.

Using mosquito excreta to enhance mosquito-borne disease surveillance

, 2019
Ana Ramirez evaluated the use of mosquito excreta as a sample type for enhancing mosquito-borne disease surveillance. She found that mosquito excreta can be used to detect pathogens and other microorganisms present in the mosquito, including viruses and parasites. Mosquito excreta can be used for field and laboratory based studies.

Estimating the impact of city-wide Aedes aegypti population control: An observational study in Iquitos, Peru. [PDF]

, 2019
During the last 50 years, the geographic range of the mosquito Aedes aegypti has increased dramatically, in parallel with a sharp increase in the disease burden from the viruses it transmits, including Zika, chikungunya, and dengue.

Molecular Screening of Black Flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) for Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Pathogens, South Moravia, Czech Republic

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 95-106, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...
