Detection and quantification of introgression using Bayesian inference based on conjugate priors Open
Summary Introgression (the flow of genes between species) is a major force structuring the evolution of genomes, potentially providing raw material for adaptation. Here, we present a versatile Bayesian model selection approach for detectin…

Metagenomic shotgun sequencing reveals host species as an important driver of virome composition in mosquitoes Open
High-throughput nucleic acid sequencing has greatly accelerated the discovery of viruses in the environment. Mosquitoes, because of their public health importance, are among those organisms whose viromes are being intensively characterized…

Human–Mosquito Contact: A Missing Link in Our Understanding of Mosquito-Borne Disease Transmission Dynamics Open
Despite the critical role that contact between hosts and vectors, through vector bites, plays in driving vector-borne disease (VBD) transmission, transmission risk is primarily studied through the lens of vector density and overlooks host–…

Patterns, Drivers, and Challenges of Vector-Borne Disease Emergence Open
Vector-borne diseases are emerging at an increasing rate and comprise a disproportionate share of all emerging infectious diseases. Yet, the key ecological and evolutionary dimensions of vector-borne disease that facilitate their emergence…

Mosquito vector‐associated microbiota: Metabarcoding bacteria and eukaryotic symbionts across habitat types in Thailand endemic for dengue and other arthropod‐borne diseases Open
Vector‐borne diseases are a major health burden, yet factors affecting their spread are only partially understood. For example, microbial symbionts can impact mosquito reproduction, survival, and vectorial capacity, and hence affect diseas…

Estimates of introgression as a function of pairwise distances Open
Background Research over the last 10 years highlights the increasing importance of hybridization between species as a major force structuring the evolution of genomes and potentially providing raw material for adaptation by natural and/or …
