Despite the eradication of malaria across most European countries in the 1960s and 1970s,
the anopheline vectors are still present. Most of the malaria cases that have been reported in …

West Nile virus infection is a growing concern in Europe. Vector management is often the
primary option to prevent and control outbreaks of the disease. Its implementation is …

Background Mosquito feeding behaviour determines the degree of vector–host contact and
may have a serious impact on the risk of West Nile virus (WNV) epidemics. Feeding …

It is unclear whether West Nile virus (WNV) circulates endemically in Portugal. Despite the
country's adequate climate for transmission, Portugal has only reported four human WNV …

This paper compares one global parametric land use change model, the artificial neural
network–based Land Transformation Model, with two local non-parametric models: a …

Background Culex pipiens L. is the most widespread mosquito vector in temperate regions.
This species consists of two forms, denoted molestus and pipiens, that exhibit important …

West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus which has caused repeated outbreaks
in humans in southern and central Europe, but thus far not in northern Europe. The main …

Effective vector and arbovirus surveillance requires timely and accurate screening
techniques that can be easily upscaled. Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) is a high …

Mosquito foraging behavior is a determinant of host-vector contact and has an impact on the
risk of arboviral epidemics. Therefore, blood-feeding patterns is a useful tool for assessing …

Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are a diverse group of ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses,
with the exception of African swine fever virus, that are transmitted by hematophagous …
