Decreased bioefficacy of long-lasting insecticidal nets and the resurgence of malaria in Papua New Guinea

Nature Communications, 2020
Malaria prevalence in Papua New Guinea has risen in recent years after almost a decade of decline. In this study, the authors demonstrate that long-lasting insecticidal nets used in the country that were manufactured since 2013 have significantly reduced

A set of ontologies to drive tools for the control of vector-borne diseases [PDF]

, 2009
We are developing a set of ontologies that deal with vector-borne diseases and the arthropod vectors that transmit them. For practical reasons (application priorities), we initiated this project with an ontology of insecticide resistance followed by a ...

Vector-Borne Diseases [PDF]

, 2019
Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) are illnesses caused by parasites, viruses or bacteria that are transmitted by a vector such as mosquitoes, ticks, sandflies, triatomine bugs, tsetse flies, fleas, black flies, aquatic snails and lice. In this chapter, we aim to show how climate change impacts VBDs and what role biodiversity (and its loss) plays for VBDs ...

On the dynamics of a class of multi-group models for vector-borne diseases [PDF]

, 2015
The resurgence of vector-borne diseases is an increasing public health concern, and there is a need for a better understanding of their dynamics. For a number of diseases, e.g.

Using Decision Analysis to Improve Malaria Control Policy Making [PDF]

, 2009
Malaria and other vector-borne diseases represent a significant and growing burden in many tropical countries. Successfully addressing these threats will require policies that expand access to and use of existing control methods, such as insecticide ...

Isolation of infectious Theileria parva sporozoites secreted by infected Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks into an in vitro tick feeding system

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Vector-borne diseases pose an increasing threat to global food security. Vaccines, diagnostic tests, and therapeutics are urgently needed for tick-borne diseases that affect livestock. However, the inability to obtain significant quantities of

The role of domestic animals in the epidemiology of human african trypanosomiasis in Ngorongoro conservation area, Tanzania

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Trypanosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by the trypanosome parasite and transmitted by the tsetse fly vector. In Sub-saharan Africa, both the human and animal variants of the disease are a great obstacle towards agriculture ...

Single dose of chimeric dengue-2/Zika vaccine candidate protects mice and non-human primates against Zika virus

Nature Communications, 2021
Here the authors generate a live-attenuated Zika vaccine based on a clinically proven dengue virus serotype-2 vaccine backbone and show that one dose protects mice and non-human primates from Zika virus infection.

Enhancing the scalability of Wolbachia-based vector-borne disease management: time and temperature limits for storage and transport of Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti eggs for field releases

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Introgression of the bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia into Aedes aegypti populations is a biocontrol approach being used to reduce arbovirus transmission. This requires mass release of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes.
