Introduction: Two species of Aedes (Ae.) mosquitoes (Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus) are
primary vectors for emerging arboviruses that are a significant threat to public health and …

There is compelling evidence that Aedes aegypti distributes small numbers of eggs among
many sites, and that this “skip oviposition” is a driver for dispersal. The behavior is …

This chapter reviews what has been done so far to control Aedes aegypti, current challenges
raised by the expansion of Aedes albopictus and growing threats of zoonotic viruses, and …

dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever, and Zika which can cause life-threatening diseases in …

Background Aedes aegypti, the principal vector for dengue and other emerging arboviruses,
breeds preferentially in various man-made and natural container habitats. In the absence of …

The Zika crisis drew attention to the long-overlooked problem of arboviruses transmitted by
