Modeling Dengue vector population using remotely sensed data and machine learning.

Acta tropica
Mosquitoes are vectors of many human diseases. In particular, Aedes ægypti (Linnaeus) is the main vector for Chikungunya, Dengue, and Zika viruses in Latin America and it represents a global threat. Public health policies that aim at combating this v...

Morbidity Rate Prediction of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) Using the Support Vector Machine and the Aedes aegypti Infection Rate in Similar Climates and Geographical Areas.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: In the past few decades, several researchers have proposed highly accurate prediction models that have typically relied on climate parameters. However, climate factors can be unreliable and can lower the effectiveness of prediction when t...

Determining mosquito age using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and artificial neural networks: insights into the influence of origin and sex.

Parasites & vectors
BACKGROUND: Mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria, dengue, and Zika, continue to pose significant threats to global health, resulting in millions of cases and thousands of deaths each year. Notably, only older mosquitoes can transmit these disease...

A machine-learning approach to map landscape connectivity in with genetic and environmental data.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Mapping landscape connectivity is important for controlling invasive species and disease vectors. Current landscape genetics methods are often constrained by the subjectivity of creating resistance surfaces and the difficulty of working with interact...

Field performance of sterile male mosquitoes released from an uncrewed aerial vehicle.

Science robotics
Genetic control methods of mosquito vectors of malaria, dengue, yellow fever, and Zika are becoming increasingly popular due to the limitations of other techniques such as the use of insecticides. The sterile insect technique is an effective genetic ...

Effects of Plant Species, Insecticide, and Exposure Time On the Efficacy Of Barrier Treatments Against .

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association
The effect of 5 plant species (arborvitae [], boxwood [ sp., Japanese honeysuckle [], rhododendron [ sp.], and zebra grass []) and 2 rates of lambda-cyhalothrin (3.13 ml and 6.25 ml active ingredient [AI]/liter) on knockdown (1 h) and mortality (24 h...
