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

Fundamental issues in mosquito surveillance for arboviral transmission [PDF]

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2008
Marked spatiotemporal variabilities in mosquito infection of arboviruses, exemplified by the transmission of West Nile virus (WNV) in America, require adaptive strategies for mosquito sampling, pool screening and data analyses. Currently there is a lack of reliable and consistent measures of risk exposure, which may compromise comparison of ...
