This study examines how negative density-dependence and Allee effects interact in malaria mosquito populations and how different control strategies affect their dynamics.

This study analyzes genetic data from a mosquito control trial to assess if vector control impacts population structure, finding no significant genetic changes despite reduced vector density.

The paper integrates ecological data and mechanistic modeling to show that mating behavior and maternal immunity drive EBLV-2 dynamics in bats, with limited population impact.

This study evaluates the effects of Metarhizium fungal infection on Anopheles coluzzii larvae and adults, showing reduced survival and cross-stage maternal effects.

The paper uses longitudinal data and a cull event to show vampire bats maintain influenza virus independently of fruit bats and that culling reduces transmission.

This study uses low-coverage whole-genome sequencing to identify adaptation signatures at insecticide resistance loci in Anopheles mosquitoes in southern Ghana.

This paper uses mid-infrared spectroscopy and machine learning to accurately predict malaria mosquito species and age structure, offering a fast and cost-effective alternative to traditional methods.
