The "auto-dissemination" approach: a novel concept to fight Aedes albopictus in urban areas.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
BackgroundThe main constraint to the fight against container-breeding mosquito vectors of human arboviruses is the difficulty in targeting the multiplicity of larval sources, mostly represented by small man-made water containers.

Evaluation of the representativeness of a sentinel surveillance site for campylobacteriosis

Epidemiology and Infection, 2014
SUMMARYIt is important to assess the suitability of sentinel sites for human disease; however, there have been few publications documenting the process of formal evaluation. We describe an approach to examining the representativeness of a single sentinel site employed for campylobacteriosis surveillance and source attribution, utilizing a selection of ...

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Using Vegetation Indices Based on Red-Edge Reflectance from Sentinel-2 to Estimate Gross Primary Productivity

Remote Sensing, 2019
Gross primary productivity (GPP) is the most important component of terrestrial carbon flux. Red-edge (680−780 nm) reflectance is sensitive to leaf chlorophyll content, which is directly correlated with photosynthesis as the pigment pool, and it ...

Adult encephalitis surveillance: experiences from an Australian prospective sentinel site study

Epidemiology and Infection, 2015
SUMMARYFew countries routinely collect comprehensive encephalitis data, yet understanding the epidemiology of this condition has value for clinical management, detecting novel and emerging pathogens, and guiding timely public health interventions. When this study was conducted there was no standardized diagnostic algorithm to aid identification of ...
