Large-Scale Modelling of the Environmentally-Driven Population Dynamics of Temperate Aedes albopictus (Skuse) [PDF]

, 2016
The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is a highly invasive vector species. It is a proven vector of dengue and chikungunya viruses, with the potential to host a further 24 arboviruses.

At the tip of an iceberg: citizen science and active surveillance collaborating to broaden the known distribution of Aedes japonicus in Spain

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Active surveillance aimed at the early detection of invasive mosquito species is usually focused on seaports and airports as points of entry, and along road networks as dispersion paths.

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.

Effective mosquito and arbovirus surveillance using metabarcoding [PDF]

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2017
AbstractEffective vector and arbovirus surveillance requires timely and accurate screening techniques that can be easily upscaled. Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) is a high‐throughput technology that has the potential to modernize vector surveillance. When combined withDNAbarcoding, it is termed ‘metabarcoding.’ The aim of our study was to establish a

Aedes Mosquito Control and Surveillance in the Pacific

Pacific Health Dialog, 2020
Introduction: Mosquitoes of the genus Aedes transmit dengue, Zika and chikungunya viruses, and the incidence of these diseases is increasing in the Pacific. This can be attributed to increased movement of people and goods, unplanned urbanisation, and global warming, among other factors.
