Detection of circulating mosquito-borne arboviruses in Brazil using travellers as sentinels Open
Travellers visiting countries endemic for arboviral diseases may introduce arboviruses to new areas where competent vectors are already present, potentially leading to disease outbreaks in populations that have not previously been exposed.…

Mosquito diversity and arbovirus circulation at the Taï National Park, western Côte d’Ivoire Open
Understanding the ecological and virological dynamics of mosquito populations across different landscapes is essential for predicting and mitigating the risk of arbovirus spillover. From December 2021 to September 2022, we conducted an ent…

Dengue vector control through multisectoral and community-based interventions in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire: study protocol for a cluster-randomised trial {1} Open
Background In Africa, most governmental arbovirus control programmes and outbreak responses mainly follow a vertical, top-down approach for Aedes vector control, leading to short-term effects and re-emergence of dengue in intervened areas …

DENV-2 Circulation and Host Preference Among Highly Anthropophilic, Outdoor-Biting Aedes aegypti in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Open
In Tanzania, dengue outbreaks have occurred almost annually over the past decade, with each new outbreak becoming more severe. This study investigated the prevalence of dengue virus (DENV) serotypes in the wild Aedes aegypti and their bloo…

Eretmapodites mosquitoes are potential bridge vectors for arboviruses in western Côte d’Ivoire Open
Background Mosquito-borne arboviral diseases pose an increasing threat to public health. Many of them emerge from spillover events of arboviruses originating from enzoonotic cycles within primary rainforests, where they are maintained. Tra…

A diffusion model for mosquito control trials with spillover Open
Background Mosquito movement is ubiquitous and complicates the design of cluster randomized trials (CRTs) of vector control interventions because it can cause spillover between trial arms. There has been no analytical approach to quantify …
View article: In the arm-in-cage test, topical repellents activate mosquitoes to disengage upon contact instead of repelling them at distance
In the arm-in-cage test, topical repellents activate mosquitoes to disengage upon contact instead of repelling them at distance Open
Topical repellents provide protection against mosquito bites and their efficacy is often assessed using the arm-in-cage test. The arm-in-cage test estimates the repellent's protection time by exposing a repellent-treated forearm to host-se…

A review of selective indoor residual spraying for malaria control Open
Background Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is one of the most effective malaria control tools. However, its application has become limited to specific contexts due to the increased costs of IRS products and implementation programmes. Select…

Spatial and temporal characteristics of laboratory-induced<i>Anopheles coluzzii</i>swarms: shape, structure and flight kinematics Open
Anopheles mosquitoes mate at sunset in aerial swarms. The development of mating-based methods for effective malaria vector control requires a good knowledge of the flight behaviour of Anopheles species in mating swarms. However, the proces…

Relationship between insecticide resistance profiles in Anopheles gambiae sensu lato and agricultural practices in Côte d’Ivoire Open
Background Insecticide-based malaria vector control is increasingly undermined due to the development of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. Insecticide resistance may partially be related to the use of pesticides in agriculture, while t…

Sub-lethal exposure to chlorfenapyr reduces the probability of developing<i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>parasites in surviving<i>Anopheles</i>mosquitoes Open
Pyrethroid resistance in the key malaria vectors threatens the success of pyrethroid-treated nets. To overcome pyrethroid resistance, Interceptor® G2 (IG2), a ‘first-in-class’ dual insecticidal net that combines alpha-cypermethrin with chl…

3D video tracking analysis reveals that mosquitoes pass more successfully through holes of a permethrin-treated than an untreated net Open
In addition to killing, mosquito nets treated with permethrin have been claimed to repel mosquitoes, reducing their success in passing through a holed net. We have tested this hypothesis by tracking mosquitoes in a modified World Health Or…
