Spatio-temporal malaria transmission patterns in Navrongo demographic surveillance site, northern Ghana [PDF]

, 2013
The relationship between entomological measures of malaria transmission intensity and mortality remains uncertain. This is partly because transmission is heterogeneous even within small geographical areas.

ZIKV Phylogenetic Characterization Reveals Evolutionary Diversity, Regional Dissemination, and Emergence of African Lineages in Brazil

Journal of Basic Microbiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the last epidemic in 2015–2016, Zika virus (ZIKV) gaining worldwide attention due to its association with neurological complications such as microcephaly and Guillain‐Barré syndrome. ZIKV can be transmitted through vector‐borne, sexual, maternal‐fetal, and blood transfusion transmission.

New adhesive traps to monitor urban mosquitoes with a case study to assess the efficacy of insecticide control strategies in temperate areas [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Urban mosquitoes in temperate regions may represent a high nuisance and are associated with the risk of arbovirus transmission. Common practices to reduce this burden, at least in Italian highly infested urban areas, imply calendar-based ...

Optimal‐Control Techniques for Managing Dengue Outbreaks: An Advanced Mathematical Modeling

Natural Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dengue remains a major public health threat in tropical and subtropical regions. We develop a general human–vector SEIR–SEI optimal‐control framework that integrates four time‐dependent interventions: public awareness/behavioral protection, u1(t)${{u}_1}( t )$, enhanced clinical management u2(t)${{u}_2}( t )$, adulticide spraying u3(t)${{u}_3}(
