Despite the critical role that contact between hosts and vectors, through vector bites, plays in
driving vector-borne disease (VBD) transmission, transmission risk is primarily studied …

Simple Summary The mosquito is the deadliest animal on earth, transmitting diseases that
cause nearly a million deaths and> 700 million infections each year. Yet only relatively few …

Domestic and personal protection measures against malaria exposure either divert host-
seeking vectors to other hosts or kill those attempting to feed. Here, we explicitly model …

Background Prior studies have shown that annual entomological inoculation rates (EIRs)
must be reduced to less than one to substantially reduce the prevalence of malaria infection …

We performed bimonthly mosquito larval collections during 1 year, in an agricultural
settlement in the Brazilian Amazon, as well as an analysis of malaria incidence in …

An improved knowledge of mosquito life history could strengthen malaria vector control
efforts that primarily focus on killing mosquitoes indoors using insecticide treated nets and …

This review brings together information on mosquitoes, the diseases they transmit and the
wetlands that provide habitats for the immature stages (eggs and larvae). Wetland values …

Bluetongue (BT) is still present in Europe and the introduction of new serotypes from
endemic areas in the African continent is a possible threat. Culicoides imicola remains one …

A growing body of literature offers a framework for understanding geographic and ecological
distributions of species; a few applications of this framework have treated disease …

This article uses the theory of Gilles Deleuze to address the disjuncture between (1) the
mechanical, chemical, and thermal processes of transduction that determine the …
