“In starvation, a bone can also be meat”: a mixed methods evaluation of factors associated with discarding of long-lasting insecticidal nets in Bagamoyo, Tanzania

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background Between 2000 and 2019, more than 1.8 billion long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) were distributed in Africa. While the insecticidal durability of LLINs is around 3 years, nets are commonly discarded 2 years post distribution.

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.

Evaluation of polyclonal antibodies raised in rabbits against dengue NS1 antigen

Scientific Reports
Dengue, a vector-borne disease caused by the dengue virus (DENV), is spread by Aedes mosquitoes like, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. In the absence of antiviral drugs or vaccines, dengue prevention is centered on mosquito vector control.

Isolation of Borrelia miyamotoi and other Borreliae using a modified BSK medium

Scientific Reports, 2021
Borrelia spirochetes are the causative agents of Lyme borreliosis (LB) and relapsing fever (RF). Despite the steady rise in infections and the identification of new species causing human illness over the last decade, isolation of borreliae in culture has
