The influence of feeding behaviour and temperature on the capacity of mosquitoes to transmit malaria
Insecticide-treated bed nets reduce malaria transmission by limiting contact between mosquito vectors and human hosts when mosquitoes feed during the night. However, malaria vectors can also feed in the early ...

Open AccessUse of alternative bioassays to explore the impact of pyrethroid resistance on LLIN efficacy
There is substantial concern that the spread of insecticide resistance will render long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) ineffective. However, there is limited evidence supporting a clear association b...

Open AccessFine-scale spatial and temporal dynamics of kdr haplotypes in Aedes aegypti from Mexico
As resistance to insecticides increases in disease vectors, it has become exceedingly important to monitor populations for susceptibility. Most studies of field populations of Aedes aegypti have largely character...

Open AccessLarval density mediates knockdown resistance to pyrethroid insecticides in adult Aedes aegypti
Understanding mechanisms driving insecticide resistance in vector populations remains a public health priority. To date, most research has focused on the genetic mechanisms underpinning resistance, yet it is u...

Diversity and Prevalence of Diarrhea-Associated Viruses in the Lemur Community and Associated Human Population of Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar
Diarrhea-associated viruses are common causes of morbidity in humans in develo** countries; however, they have seldom been studied in wild primates despite their pathogenic and zoonotic potential. This is of...
