Model–data comparisons of plant physiological processes provide an understanding of
mechanisms underlying vegetation responses to climate. We simulated the physiology of a …

Mathematical models of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission originated in the early
twentieth century to provide insights into how to most effectively combat malaria. The …

Recent epidemics of Zika, dengue, and chikungunya have heightened the need to
understand the seasonal and geographic range of transmission by Aedes aegypti and Ae …

Infectious diseases are changing due to the environment and altered interactions among
hosts, reservoirs, vectors, and pathogens. This is particularly true for zoonotic diseases that …

Abstract Introduction: An ongoing Zika virus pandemic in Latin America and the Caribbean
has raised concerns that travel-related introduction of Zika virus could initiate local …

Background Malaria is a major public health issue in much of the world, and the mosquito
vectors which drive transmission are key targets for interventions. Mathematical models for …

Abstract The mosquito Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (L.), which occurs widely in the subtropics
and tropics, is the primary urban vector of dengue and yellow fever viruses, and an important …

Emerging and resurging vector-borne diseases cause significant morbidity and mortality,
especially in the developing world. We focus on how advances in mapping, Geographic …

The Ross-Macdonald model has dominated theory for mosquito-borne pathogen
transmission dynamics and control for over a century. The model, like many other basic …

Male reproductive success is dependent on insemination success and reproductive output.
During mating, male mosquitoes transfer not just sperm, but also seminal fluid proteins that …
