Tick‐borne diseases in subtropical dairy farming: The role of calf rearing strategies in antibody and antigen prevalence Enfermedades Transmitidas por Garrapatas en la Ganadería Lechera subtropical: El Papel de las Estrategias de Crianza de Terneros en la Prevalencia de Anticuerpos y Antígenos

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Tropical farmers try to adapt calf‐rearing systems to temperate dairy industry standards. Calves in tick‐infested areas develop stronger immunity to TBD under controlled exposure to ticks. Early tick exposure promotes sustainable management, balancing tick infestation and developing TBD immunity.

Investigating the association between weather variables and Aedes albopictus abundance in Windsor, Ontario

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Trapping completed by Windsor‐Essex County Health Unit. Data analysis using trap and weather data. Canadian weather thresholds are associated with increased mosquito abundance. Abstract Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) is notorious for transmitting several pathogens of public health importance.

Impact of bauxite mining on mosquito communities (Diptera: Culicidae) and pathogen transmission risks in the eastern Amazon

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Bauxite mining in the Amazon alters mosquito communities, favouring anthropophilic and generalist vectors while reducing species diversity and the variety of blood meal sources. Molecular analyses identified humans, tapirs and deer as the primary blood meal sources.

Mosquito Biodiversity Patterns Around Urban Environments in South-Central Okinawa Island, Japan [PDF]

, 2014
Okinawa is the largest, most urbanized, and densely populated island in the Ryukyus Archipelago, where mosquito species diversity has been thoroughly studied. However, the south-central Okinawa mosquito fauna has been relatively poorly studied.

Diapausing adult female mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in overwintering sites in Estonia in 2023–2024: Species composition and variation

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
First comprehensive survey of overwintering mosquitoes in Estonia, documenting 5286 female mosquitoes collected from 18 subterranean overwintering sites. The Culex pipiens/Culex torrentium group dominated overwintering assemblages, representing 96.6% of all analysed specimens. Molecular analyses revealed a higher proportion of Cx.

Relationships between meteorological factors and mosquito vector density in an Urban District of Shanghai, China (2018–2024)

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The effect of temperature on oviposition activity is not uniform across time. Heat stress exerts delayed population‐level impacts. Moderate temperatures favour population development while both low and high temperatures impose constraints. The delayed negative effect of warm temperatures, peaking at 2–3 weeks rather than immediately.

A Survey of Program Capacity and Skills of Florida Mosquito Control Districts to Conduct Arbovirus Surveillance and Control

, 2020
Effective and efficient surveillance systems are key for preventing arthropod-borne diseases. We examined the capacity of Florida mosquito control districts (both state-approved and open programs, n = 90; 48.9% response rate).

Innovative tools and OpenHDS for health and demographic surveillance on Rusinga Island, Kenya [PDF]

, 2015
Health in low and middle income countries is on one hand characterized by a high burden associated with preventable communicable diseases and on the other hand considered to be under-documented due to improper basic health and demographic record-keeping.

Challenges in the surveillance and control of mosquito-borne diseases in Europe and United States. The perspective from public health experts.

One Health
The complexity of mosquito-borne diseases and the necessity for cross-sector collaboration present significant challenges, requiring changes in laws, policies, and inter-agency agreements. In this qualitative study we purposively selected and interviewed
