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.

Current status of invasive mosquito surveillance in the UK. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2015
Non-native invasive mosquitoes have for many years made incursions into Europe, and are now established in many European countries. The continued European importation of potential vectors and their expansion within Europe increases their potential for importation and establishment in the UK.

Converting Mosquito Surveillance to Arbovirus Surveillance with Honey-Baited Nucleic Acid Preservation Cards

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2015
Spatially and temporally accurate information about infectious mosquito distribution allows for pre-emptive public health interventions that can reduce the burden of mosquito-borne infections on human populations. However, the labile nature of arboviruses, the low prevalence of infection in mosquitoes, the expensive labor costs for mosquito ...

Evaluation of alternative mosquito sampling methods for malaria vectors in Lowland South - East Zambia. [PDF]

, 2013
Sampling malaria vectors and measuring their biting density is of paramount importance for entomological surveys of malaria transmission. Human landing catch (HLC) has been traditionally regarded as a gold standard method for surveying human exposure to ...

Genomic surveillance reveals geographical heterogeneity and differences in known and novel insecticide resistance mechanisms in Anopheles arabiensis across Kenya

BMC Genomics
Background Insecticide resistance in disease vectors poses a significant threat to the control of transmission globally. In Anopheles mosquitoes, resistance has jeopardized gains made in malaria control and led to the resurgence of cases.

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 ...
