Mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue and malaria, pose significant global health
burdens. Unfortunately, current control methods based on insecticides and environmental …

Aedes mosquito-transmitted diseases, such as dengue, Zika and chikungunya, are
becoming major global health emergencies while old threats, such as yellow fever, are re …

Gene drives may be capable of addressing ecological problems by altering entire
populations of wild organisms, but their use has remained largely theoretical due to …

Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) circulate in nature between arthropod vectors and
vertebrate hosts. Arboviruses often cause devastating diseases in vertebrate hosts, but they …

There has been growing interest in Europe in recent years in the establishment and spread
of invasive mosquitoes, notably the incursion of Aedes albopictus through the international …

Genetic circuits perform computational operations based on interactions between freely
diffusing molecules within a cell. When transcription factors are combined to build a circuit …

This paper presents the output of our fifth annual horizon-scanning exercise, which aims to
identify topics that increasingly may affect conservation of biological diversity, but have yet to …

SUMMARY West Nile Virus was introduced into the Western Hemisphere during the late
summer of 1999 and has been causing significant and sometimes severe human diseases …

Genetics can potentially provide new, species-specific, environmentally friendly methods for
mosquito control. Genetic control strategies aim either to suppress target populations or to …

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 …
