The importance of vector control for the control and elimination of vector-borne diseases [PDF]
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020 Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) such as malaria, dengue, and leishmaniasis exert a huge burden of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly affecting the poorest of the poor. The principal method by which these diseases are controlled is through vector control, which has a long and distinguished history.

Control vectors for splines [PDF]
Computer-Aided Design, 2015 AbstractTraditionally, modelling using spline curves and surfaces is facilitated by control points. We propose to enhance the modelling process by the use of control vectors. This improves upon existing spline representations by providing such facilities as modelling with local (semi-sharp) creases, vanishing and diagonal features, and hierarchical ...

Biotechnology as applied to vectors and vector control [PDF]
Annales de Parasitologie Humaine et Comparée, 1990 Vector borne diseases remain some of the major public health problems in the developing world. In this review some of the current applications of biotechnology to vectors and vector control and some of the possible future applications are discussed.

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2017 The rapid spread of mosquito resistance to currently available insecticides, and the current lack of an efficacious malaria vaccine are among many challenges that affect large-scale efforts for malaria control. As goals of malaria elimination and eradication are put forth, new vector-control paradigms and tools and/or further optimization of current ...

Control of Chagas disease vectors [PDF]
Salud Pública de México, 2003 Most Latin American countries are making dramatic progress in controlling Chagas disease, through a series of national and international initiatives focusing on elimination of domestic populations of Triatominae, improved screening of blood donors, and clinical support and treatment of persons infected with Trypanosoma cruzi.

Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Background The human landing catch (HLC) method, in which human volunteers collect mosquitoes that land on them before they can bite, is used to quantify human exposure to mosquito vectors of disease.

Transcriptomics and disease vector control [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2010 Next-generation sequencing can be used to compare transcriptomes under different conditions. A study in BMC Genomics applies this approach to investigating the effects of exposure to a range of xenobiotics on changes in gene expression in the larvae of Aedes aegypti, the mosquito vector of dengue fever.

Evidence-based vector control? Improving the quality of vector control trials [PDF]
Trends in Parasitology, 2015 Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) such as malaria, dengue, and leishmaniasis cause a high level of morbidity and mortality. Although vector control tools can play a major role in controlling and eliminating these diseases, in many cases the evidence base for assessing the efficacy of vector control interventions is limited or not available.
