The burden of gene transfer from one mosquito generation to the next falls on the female
and her eggs. The selection of an oviposition site that guarantees egg and larval survival is …

Vector-borne disease is one of the greatest contributors to human mortality and morbidity
throughout the tropics. Mosquito-transmitted diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever …

Background Limited success has been achieved using traditional vector control methods to
prevent the transmission of dengue viruses. Integrated control programs incorporating …

Populations of Aedes aegypti (L.) can be managed through reductions in adult mosquito
survival, number of offspring produced, or both. Direct adult mortality can be caused by the …

Abstract The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus (Skuse), is a highly invasive container-
inhabiting species with a global distribution. This mosquito, similar to other Stegomyia …

Background Current tools and strategies are not sufficient to reliably address threats and
outbreaks of arboviruses including Zika, dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever. Hence …

Background Aedes aegypti is a vector of international concern because it can transmit to
humans three important arboviral diseases: yellow fever, dengue and chikungunya …

Abstract Background The World Health Organization estimates that the global number of
dengue infections range between 80–100 million per year, with some studies estimating …

Current surveillance methods for adult Aedes aegypti (L.) are expensive, require electrical
power (eg, the BG-Sentinel trap, BGS), are labor intensive (aspirators), or require difficult to …

The intensifying expansion of arboviruses highlights the need for effective invasive Aedes
control. While mass-trapping interventions have long been discredited as inefficient …
