A minimum data standard for vector competence experiments
Scientific Data, 2022 The growing threat of vector-borne diseases, highlighted by recent epidemics, has prompted increased focus on the fundamental biology of vector-virus interactions. To this end, experiments are often the most reliable way to measure vector competence (the

Impact of vector richness on the risk of vector‐borne disease: The role of vector competence [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionA central goal of disease ecology is to identify the factors that drive the spread of infectious diseases. Changes in vector richness can have complex effects on disease risk, but little is known about the role of vector competence in the relationship ...

Implications of mosquito metabolism on vector competence
Insect Science, 2023 Mosquito‐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.
