Modeling Temperature Effects on Vector-Borne Disease Dynamics
Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) cause significant harm to humans, plants, and animals worldwide. For instance, VBDs are very difficult to manage, as they are governed by complex interactions. VBD transmission depends on the pathogen itself, vector-host movement, and environmental conditions. …

Molecular candidates for Blocking the Transmission of Vector-Borne diseases
<p>Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) require urgent attention as they have a high mortality rate, with 700,000 people dying in a year as of 2017. So far, extremely few reliable vaccination strategies and solutions have emerged. Transmission blocking vaccines are one among many solutions available to …

Mathematical models for vector-borne disease: effects of periodic environmental variations.
… a very simple SIS/SIR model for a general vector-borne disease transmission considering constant population sizes over the season, where contact between the host and the vector responsible of the transmission is assumed to occur only during the summer of each year. I discussed two different …

Badgers (Meles meles) as reservoirs of vector-borne infections in the UK
… and changing distribution of a number of vector-borne diseases, and the temperate regions are not an exception. Whilst Eurasian badgers (Meles meles) are known to host a wide range of pathogens, information on haemoparasites of badgers, their role as reservoirs of vector-borne infections, …

A Multi-level Model for a Vector-Borne Organ to Tissue life Cycle Dynamics
… only for malaria treatment but also for other vector-borne disease system control treatment strategies.

Applying regional climate change projections for spatio-temporal risk analyses of vector-borne diseases
Bei vorliegender Dissertation handelt es sich um eine Abhandlung zu vektor-assoziierten Krankheiten in Zeiten des Klimawandels. Bei vektor-assoziierten Krankheiten wird ein Pathogen durch einen Vektor (Überträger), auf ein Wirtstier übertragen. Als solche Vektoren agieren meist Arthropoden. …

Bionomics of vector-borne diseases in sites adjacent to lakes Victoria and Baringo in Kenya
Bionomics of vector-borne pathogens (VBPs) is a complex phenomenon that involves understanding the ecology of arthropod borne pathogens and vertebrate hosts potentially involved in their transmission cycles. Investigations into the bionomics of viral and bacterial VBPs circulating in Baringo and …

Mathematical models for vector-borne infectious disease mapping with application to Dengue disease in Malaysia
… consider the estimation of relative risk for vector borne infectious diseases.Most of these articles involve exploratory analysis that includes the study of covariates andtheir effects on disease distribution and the study of geographic information systems tointegrate patient-related …

Vector-borne Disease Risk Assessment in Times of Climate Change: The Ecology of Vectors and Pathogens
… 21st century will support a spread of disease vectors and vector-borne diseases. Ectothermic arthropods make up the largest group of vectors. They usually cannot self-regulate their body temperatures and are therefore considered to be very sensitive to changing climatic conditions. The duration …

Utilizing a one health lens to determine various ecological and epidemiological drivers of vector-borne disease transmission
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2025-08-01

Simulating the Spread of Malaria: A Cellular Automaton Based Mathematical Model & A Prototype Software Implementation
… of which one-third are of children. Malaria is a vector-borne disease, where a mosquito acts as the vector that transmits the disease. In the last few years, computer simulation based models have been used effectively to study the vector population dynamics and control strategies of vector-borne …

Effects of habitat and plant volatiles on mosquito spatial, seasonal, and chemical ecology
Mosquitoes, by transmitting vector-borne diseases through their saliva, impact nearly half of the world's population. Mosquito survival is dependent on their sense of smell, or olfaction, which allows a mosquito to differentiate between plant nectar, required for metabolic processes, and host …

Molecular detection and factors associated with selected tickbone zoonoses in dogs in Chilanga district in Zambia
Vector borne diseases, also referred to as zoonoses, have been responsible for some of the worst plagues of mankind. The close relationship between humans and animals increases chances of transmission of vector-borne zoonoses. Among some of these infections are pathogens transmitted by ticks which …

Modeling Culex tarsalis Coquillett abundance on the northern Colorado Front Range using a landscape-level approach
Endemic and emerging vector-borne diseases are major health problems, and some of them are unlikely to be eliminated regardless of control efforts. The applications for remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) data include the identification of larval mosquito habitats and forecasting …

Expanding Genetic and Genomic Resources for Sex Separation and Mosquito Control Strategies
… attributing the highest mortality of any vector-borne disease worldwide. Mosquitoes belonging to the genera Aedes transmit arboviruses including dengue, which has become the most important vector-borne virus due to a drastic surge in disease incidence. The scope of the studies in this …

DEVELOPMENT OF A VACCINE FOR LYME DISEASE USING THE NUCLEOSIDE-MODIFIED mRNA-LNP PLATFORM
Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne infectious disease in the United States, in part because a vaccine against it is not currently available for humans. We propose utilizing the lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated nucleoside-modified mRNA (mRNA-LNP) platform to generate a Lyme disease vaccine …
