Combining synthetic human odours and low-cost electrocuting grids to attract and kill outdoor-biting mosquitoes : field and semi-field evaluation of an improved mosquito landing box [PDF]

, 2016
On-going malaria transmission is increasingly mediated by outdoor-biting vectors, especially where indoor insecticidal interventions such as long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) are widespread.

Simulation modelling of population dynamics of mosquito vectors for rift valley Fever virus in a disease epidemic setting. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND:Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is weather dependent arboviral infection of livestock and humans. Population dynamics of mosquito vectors is associated with disease epidemics.

Mathematical modelling of Mosquito Dispersal for Malaria\ud Vector Control. [PDF]

, 2013
In malaria endemic regions, dispersal of mosquitoes from one location to another searching for resources for their survival and reproduction is a fundamental biological process that operates at multiple temporal and spatial scales.

Mosquito Vector Competence for Japanese Encephalitis Virus [PDF]

Viruses, 2021
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a zoonotic pathogen mainly found in East and Southeast Asia and transmitted by mosquitoes. The objective of this review is to summarize the knowledge on the diversity of JEV mosquito vector species. Therefore, we systematically analyzed reports of JEV found in field-caught mosquitoes as well as experimental vector ...

Advantages and Limitations of Commercially Available Electrocuting Grids for Studying Mosquito Behaviour. [PDF]

, 2013
Mosquito feeding behaviour plays a major role in determining malaria transmission intensity and the impact of specific prevention measures. Human Landing Catch (HLC) is currently the only method that can directly and consistently measure the biting rates

Spatial-temporal clusters of host-seeking Aedes albopictus, Aedes japonicus, and Aedes triseriatus collections in a La Crosse virus endemic county (Knox County, Tennessee, USA).

PLoS ONE, 2020
A bite from a La Crosse virus (LACV) infected Aedes mosquito can cause La Crosse encephalitis (LACE), which is a neuro-invasive disease that disproportionately affects children under the age of 16 in Southern Appalachia.

Co-occurrence of viruses and mosquitoes at the vectors' optimal climate range: An underestimated risk to temperate regions? [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Mosquito-borne viruses have been estimated to cause over 100 million cases of human disease annually. Many methodologies have been developed to help identify areas most at risk from transmission of these viruses.

Molecular Genetic Manipulation of Vector Mosquitoes [PDF]

Cell Host & Microbe, 2008
Genetic strategies for reducing populations of vector mosquitoes or replacing them with those that are not able to transmit pathogens benefit greatly from molecular tools that allow gene manipulation and transgenesis. Mosquito genome sequences and associated EST (expressed sequence tags) databases enable large-scale investigations to provide new ...

Implications of mosquito metabolism on vector competence

Insect Science, 2023
AbstractMosquito‐borne diseases (MBDs) annually kill nearly half a million people. Due to the lack of effective vaccines and drugs on most MBDs, disease prevention relies primarily on controlling mosquitoes. Despite huge efforts having been put into mosquito control, eco‐friendly and sustainable mosquito‐control strategies are still lacking and ...

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 ...
