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.

Evaluation of textile substrates for dispensing synthetic attractants for malaria mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2014
Background: The full-scale impact of odour-baited technology on the surveillance, sampling and control of vectors of infectious diseases is partly limited by the lack of methods for the efficient and sustainable dispensing of attractants.

Exotic mosquito threats require strategic surveillance and response planning [PDF]

Public Health Research and Practice, 2016
Mosquito-borne diseases caused by endemic pathogens such as Ross River, Barmah Forest and Murray Valley encephalitis viruses are an annual concern in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. More than a dozen mosquito species have been implicated in the transmission of these pathogens, with each mosquito occupying a specialised ecological niche that ...

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 ...

Mapping of Aedes albopictus abundance at a local scale in Italy [PDF]

, 2017
Given the growing risk of arbovirus outbreaks in Europe, there is a clear need to better describe the distribution of invasive mosquito species such as Aedes albopictus. Current challenges consist in simulating Ae. albopictus abundance, rather than its

Rapid protein profiling facilitates surveillance of invasive mosquito species [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Invasive aedine mosquito species have become a major issue in many parts of the world as most of them are recognised vectors or potentially involved in transmission of pathogens. Surveillance of these mosquitoes (e.g. Ae. aegypti, Yellow fever mosquito, Aedes albopictus, Asian tiger mosquito) is mainly done by collecting eggs using ovitraps and by ...

Evolution of Mosquito-Based Arbovirus Surveillance Systems in Australia [PDF]

Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology, 2012
Control of arboviral disease is dependent on the sensitive and timely detection of elevated virus activity or the identification of emergent or exotic viruses. The emergence of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in northern Australia revealed numerous problems with performing arbovirus surveillance in remote locations.

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.
