Estimating the Size of Aedes aegypti Populations from Dengue Incidence Data: Implications for the Risk of Yellow Fever, Zika Virus and Chikungunya Outbreaks [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 In this paper we present a model to estimate the density of aedes mosquitoes in a community affected by dengue. The model is based on the fitting of a continuous function to the incidence of dengue infections, from which the density of infected mosquitoes is derived straightforwardly.

A mathematical study of CD8+ T cell responses calibrated with human data [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Complete understanding of the mechanisms regulating the proliferation and differentiation that takes place during human immune CD8+ T cell responses is still lacking. Human clinical data is usually limited to blood cell counts, yet the initiation of these responses occurs in the draining lymph nodes; antigen-specific effector and memory CD8+ T cells ...

HumBugDB: A Large-scale Acoustic Mosquito Dataset [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 This paper presents the first large-scale multi-species dataset of acoustic recordings of mosquitoes tracked continuously in free flight. We present 20 hours of audio recordings that we have expertly labelled and tagged precisely in time. Significantly, 18 hours of recordings contain annotations from 36 different species.

MALARIAL FEVER AND YELLOW FEVER. [PDF]
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1886 Dear Sir: —InThe Journalof December 5 is an article by Dr. de Mello, of Rio de Janeiro, which is designed to show the identity of yellow fever and acute malaria, and which coincides with the ideas I have always entertained in reference to that subject. I was practicing medicine, from 1839 to 1846, inclusive, at the Grand Rapids of the Maumee, in Ohio.

Immunogenicity of Fractional-Dose Vaccine during a Yellow Fever Outbreak - Preliminary Report.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2018 Background In 2016, the response to a yellow fever outbreak in Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo led to a global shortage of yellow fever vaccine. As a result, a fractional dose of the 17DD yellow fever vaccine (containing one fifth [0.1 ml] of

Automatic Detection of Aedes aegypti Breeding Grounds Based on Deep Networks with Spatio-Temporal Consistency [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Every year, the Aedes aegypti mosquito infects millions of people with diseases such as dengue, zika, chikungunya, and urban yellow fever. The main form to combat these diseases is to avoid mosquito reproduction by searching for and eliminating the potential mosquito breeding grounds. In this work, we introduce a comprehensive dataset of aerial videos,
