Assessing and advancing cutting-edge technologies that are designed to optimize mosquito surveillance strategies is crucial given the complex challenges presented by our rapidly changing environments. Vectech's Identification-X (IDX) machine offers a...
The age structure and dynamics of mosquito populations are crucial for understanding their ability to spread diseases and assessing the effectiveness of anti-mosquito control measures. However, available methods to age-grade mosquito populations are ...
Several machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) methods have been used to predict the presence of species in classification problems. Another set of methods, called reinforcement learning (RL), has been used in training agents to perform various...
Effective prediction of Aedes mosquito abundance and dengue risk indicators such as the Aedes Index (AI) and Dengue Positive Trap Index (DPTI) is essential for early intervention and targeted vector control. However, current models often rely on coar...
Dengue fever remains a significant global health threat, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, where rapid urbanization and climate variability exacerbate its spread. Traditional surveillance and control systems often struggle with delaye...
BACKGROUND: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted, arthritogenic alphavirus that causes sporadic outbreaks of often debilitating rheumatic disease. The recently approved CHIKV vaccine, IXCHIQ, is based on a live-attenuated CHIKV strain ...
BACKGROUND: Mosquito-borne diseases cause millions of deaths each year and are increasingly spreading from tropical and subtropical regions into temperate zones, posing significant public health risks. In the Basque Country region of Spain, changing ...
Understanding mosquito behaviours is vital for the development of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), which have been successfully deployed in sub-Saharan Africa to reduce disease transmission, particularly malaria. However, rising insecticide resistanc...
