The use of molecular xenomonitoring for surveillance of mosquito-borne diseases [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020
The scientific community recognizes that molecular xenomonitoring (MX) can allow infected mosquitoes to serve as a proxy for human infection in vector-borne disease surveillance, but developing reliable MX systems for programmatic use has been challenging. The primary aim of this article is to examine the available evidence to recommend how MX can best

Mosquito Oviposition Behavior and Vector Control

Insects, 2016
The burden of gene transfer from one mosquito generation to the next falls on the female and her eggs. The selection of an oviposition site that guarantees egg and larval survival is a critical step in the reproductive process.

Coordination among neighbors improves the efficacy of Zika control despite economic costs.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Emerging mosquito-borne viruses like Zika, dengue, and chikungunya pose a major threat to public health, especially in low-income regions of Central and South America, southeast Asia, and the Caribbean. Outbreaks of these diseases are likely to have long-

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.

A systematic review of published literature on mosquito control action thresholds across the world.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
BackgroundDespite the use of numerous methods of control measures, mosquito populations and mosquito-borne diseases are still increasing globally. Evidence-based action thresholds to initiate or intensify control activities have been identified as ...

Evaluation of the Entomological Adaptive Surveillance Framework for malaria vector monitoring: a comparative field trial with routine surveillance in Ghana and Mozambique

BMJ Public Health
Introduction Accurate mosquito surveillance is essential for guiding targeted interventions. To capture the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of mosquito populations, surveillance designs would ideally be flexible and evidence-based, that is, informed ...

Comparative analysis of subsampling methods for large mosquito samples

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background The analysis of large mosquito samples is expensive and time-consuming, delaying the efficient timing of vector control measurements. Processing a fraction of a sample using a subsampling method can significantly reduce the processing effort ...

A novel optical sensor system for the automatic classification of mosquitoes by genus and sex with high levels of accuracy

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Every year, more than 700,000 people die from vector-borne diseases, mainly transmitted by mosquitoes. Vector surveillance plays a major role in the control of these diseases and requires accurate and rapid taxonomical identification.
