Indoor residual spraying of distinct insecticide formulations in a household‐scale micro‐mosaic format: Feasibility and effectiveness for malaria vector control in rural Zambia

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Densities of all Anopheles species were approximately comparable across all IRS regimes. No differences observed between treatment regimes regarding species composition of the Anopheles funestus group or An. gambiae complex. This operational pilot demonstrates the practical feasibility of IRS micro‐mosaics, despite the inherent increase in deployment ...

Mathematical Modelling of Mosquito Dispersal in a Heterogeneous Environment. [PDF]

, 2012
Mosquito dispersal is a key behavioural factor that affects the persistence and resurgence of several vector-borne diseases. Spatial heterogeneity of mosquito resources, such as hosts and breeding sites, affects mosquito dispersal behaviour and ...

Come together: Data sharing to support one health responses to vector‐borne disease threats

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A One Health framework integrating diverse data across human, animal and environmental sectors is essential for effective surveillance and response is vital for responding to vector‐borne disease risks. Communities adopting global data standards, depositing data in shared repositories, and responsible data use can significantly improve VBD data ...

The CRISPR-Cas toolkit for mosquito-borne virus surveillance: detection, tracing, and discovery

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Mosquito-borne virus surveillance increasingly requires rapid, distributed detection of co-circulating pathogens, serotypes, and lineages across clinical and vector-sampling sites.

Temperature and precipitation differently influence entomological indices based on larval or adult sampling

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Larval indices, especially house infestation index (HI) and breteau index (BI), were significantly associated with temperature and precipitation, indicating that warmer and wetter conditions increase Aedes aegypti breeding‐site positivity. Adult indices, trap positivity index (TPI) and adult density index (ADI) showed no significant association with ...
