Integrated Strategies for Aedes aegypti Control Applied to Individual Houses: An Approach to Mitigate Vectorial Arbovirus Transmission

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes are vectors of different arboviruses that cause a large burden of disease in humans worldwide. A key step towards reducing the impact of arboviruses on humans can be achieved through integrated mosquito

Predictive Modeling for West Nile Virus and Mosquito Surveillance in Lubbock, Texas

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2018
West Nile virus (WNV) was first detected in North America during 1999, and has since spread throughout the contiguous USA. West Nile virus causes West Nile fever and the more severe West Nile neuroinvasive disease.

Surveillance of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Rajshahi, Bangladesh

Research in Agriculture Livestock and Fisheries, 2019
Mosquitoes are considered the most important arthropod vectors in the world. Mosquito borne diseases are major public health problems in most of tropical and subtropical countries. An investigation was performed at Bagha upazila in Rajshahi district to identify the mosquito species and their breeding sites at the study area.

Remote Sensing and Modeling of Mosquito Abundance and Habitats in Coastal Virginia, USA

Remote Sensing, 2011
The increase in mosquito populations following extreme weather events poses a major threat to humans because of mosquitoes’ ability to carry disease-causing pathogens, particularly in low-lying, poorly drained coastal plains vulnerable to tropical ...

In silico DNA barcoding surpasses whole genome sequencing for species identification from vector surveillance pools

Scientific Reports
Mosquito-borne diseases are responsible for over 600,000 deaths annually, mainly in sub-Saharan countries. Mosquito surveillance is a crucial element of vector control programmes to assure they remain effective.

Assessment of Arbovirus Surveillance 13 Years after Introduction of West Nile Virus, United States

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
Before 1999, the United States had no appropriated funding for arboviral surveillance, and many states conducted no such surveillance. After emergence of West Nile virus (WNV), federal funding was distributed to state and selected local health ...
