A clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeat‐Cas12a‐based assay for rapid dengue virus monitoring in mosquito and clinical samples facilitating global collaborative surveillance and risk assessment to block dengue spreading

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
The RAA‐Cas12a assay outperforms real‐time PCR in sensitivity (92.3%) while matching its specificity (100%) for dengue virus detection in clinical samples. It effectively identifies DENV in mosquitoes, with field data correlating to local outbreaks. This rapid, simple, and precise method serves as an early warning tool for dengue management.

Species Diversity of Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Various Coastal Bioecological Regions of Southern Iran

open access: yesJournal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Blood‐feeding mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) impose a major public‐health burden in tropical regions of the world. They transmit many pathogens to humans and domesticated animals. This study investigated the diversity and abundance of mosquito larvae and adults in nine bioecological regions of Bushehr Province, southern Iran, from May to December 2022.

Morphological and Genetic Heterogeneity in Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) Populations Across Diverse Landscapes in West Africa

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
The phylogeny of protein‐coding genes revealed the presence of two major mitochondrial lineages A and B in Aedes aegypti from Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, and Ghana. Most samples were categorized under clade B, showing no evidence of clustering by country or landscape type.
