From macro to micro: De novo genomes of Aedes mosquitoes enable comparative genomics among close and distant relatives Open
The yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) is an organism of high medical importance because it is the primary vector for diseases such as yellow fever, Zika, dengue, and chikungunya. Its medical importance has made it a subject of numerous…

Understanding the Effect of a Changing Climate on the Re‐Emergence of Mosquito‐Borne Diseases in Vulnerable Small Island Nations: A Systematic Review Open
Introduction Drastic changes in meteorological variables due to climate change will likely have an implication on the proliferation of vectors such as mosquitoes. Extreme weather events may therefore promote the emergence/re‐emergence of m…

Pilot Suppression trial of<i>Aedes albopictus</i>mosquitoes through an Integrated Vector Management strategy including the Sterile Insect Technique in Mauritius Open
It is often difficult to control the vector mosquito Aedes albopictus using conventional chemical control methods alone at an operational level mainly because of (1) the ability of the species to lay eggs in a variety of places which are o…
