Comparative attraction of Anopheles quadriannulatus and Anopheles arabiensis to humans estimated by comparing their relative abundance in samples of mosquito larvae and adults collected across an ecologically heterogeneous landscape in southern Tanzania Utafiti wa kulinganisha mvuto wa mbu aina ya Anopheles arabiensis na Anopheles quadriannulatus kwa binadamu katika mandhari yenye mazingira mbalimbali kusini mwa Tanzania

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 726-740, December 2025.
Light and barrier traps near human activity selectively captured more Anopheles arabiensis, indicating a strong attraction to humans and explicit bias in adult sampling methods. Traps placed in open glades away from humans captured species proportions similar to larval samples, suggesting reduced sampling bias in those settings. Visits by entomological

Automated identification of spotted‐fever tick vectors using convolutional neural networks

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 829-841, December 2025.
We evaluate the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) AlexNet, ResNet‐50 and MobileNetV2 for the automated identification of tick species capable of transmitting spotted fever. CNNs achieved accuracy rates of ~90% in identifying ticks and showed sensitivities of 59%–100% according to species, sex, position or image resolution.

Modelling vector and host distributions to inform potential disease risk: A case study of West Nile virus in the United Kingdom

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 842-862, December 2025.
Correlative modelling approaches can be used successfully to predict the distribution of vectors and hosts involved in vector‐borne diseases of concern. For West Nile virus in the United Kingdom, host distributions are unlikely to be a significant factor influencing change. Vector distributions and urbanisation will drive increasing risk. Projecting to

Socio‐Economic Effects on the Temporal Importance of Breeding Site Types for Aedes aegypti in a Tropical Epidemic City

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 8, Page 747-755, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) is the vector of dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever, arboviruses of major public health importance. The mosquito has a high adaptability, requiring the elimination of its primary breeding sites.

Spatial inference of Culex pipiens abundance and biting activity distribution in the Netherlands using citizen science

Parasites & Vectors
Background The expanding geographical spread of mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs) has intensified the need for effective mosquito surveillance. Additional surveillance, particularly of species such as Culex pipiens, is essential as this species is a key ...
