A set of ontologies to drive tools for the control of vector-borne diseases
, 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 ...

The Molecular Biology of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)
Viruses, 2011 Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is widespread in feline populations and causes an AIDS-like illness in domestic cats. It is highly prevalent in several endangered feline species. In domestic cats FIV infection is a valuable small animal model for HIV

Unpacking the Intricacies of Rickettsia-Vector Interactions
Trends in Parasitology, 2021 Although Rickettsia species are molecularly detected among a wide range of arthropods, vector competence becomes an imperative aspect of understanding the eco-epidemiology of these vector-borne diseases.
