Maximizing the Potential of Attractive Targeted Sugar Baits (ATSBs) for Integrated Vector Management

Insects, 2023
Due to the limitations of the human therapeutics and vaccines available to treat and prevent mosquito-borne diseases, the primary strategy for disease mitigation is through vector control.

The fitness of African malaria vectors in the presence and limitation of host behaviour [PDF]

, 2012
<p>Background Host responses are important sources of selection upon the host species range of ectoparasites and phytophagous insects. However little is known about the role of host responses in defining the host species range of malaria vectors.

Impact of salinization and pollution of groundwater on the adaptation of mosquito vectors in the Jaffna peninsula, Sri Lanka

Ceylon Journal of Science, 2020
Mosquito-borne diseases are a major health concern in many tropical and sub-tropical countries. In the absence of specific treatment for many mosquito-borne diseases, vector control in the form of eliminating preimaginal development sites and insecticide

Made-to-Measure Malaria Vector Control Strategies: Rational Design Based on Insecticide Properties and Coverage of Blood Resources for Mosquitoes. [PDF]

, 2014
Eliminating malaria from highly endemic settings will require unprecedented levels of vector control. To suppress mosquito populations, vector control products targeting their blood hosts must attain high biological coverage of all available sources ...

A Multi-Species Simulation of Mosquito Disease Vector Development in Temperate Australian Tidal Wetlands Using Publicly Available Data

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023
Worldwide, mosquito monitoring and control programs consume large amounts of resources in the effort to minimise mosquito-borne disease incidence. On-site larval monitoring is highly effective but time consuming.

Genetic elimination of dengue vector mosquitoes [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011
An approach based on mosquitoes carrying a conditional dominant lethal gene (release of insects carrying a dominant lethal, RIDL) is being developed to control the transmission of dengue viruses by vector population suppression. A transgenic strain, designated OX3604C, of the major dengue vector, Aedes aegypti

Repellent plants provide affordable natural screening to prevent mosquito house entry in tropical rural settings--results from a pilot efficacy study. [PDF]

, 2011
Sustained malaria control is underway using a combination of vector control, prompt diagnosis and treatment of malaria cases. Progress is excellent, but for long-term control, low-cost, sustainable tools that supplement existing control programs are ...

Not all mosquitoes are created equal: A synthesis of vector competence experiments reinforces virus associations of Australian mosquitoes.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
The globalization of mosquito-borne arboviral diseases has placed more than half of the human population at risk. Understanding arbovirus ecology, including the role individual mosquito species play in virus transmission cycles, is critical for limiting ...
