Modeling Temperature Effects on Vector-Borne Disease Dynamics
… movement, and environmental conditions. Mosquito-borne diseases are a perfect example of how all these factors contribute to changes in VBD dynamics. Although vectors are highly sensitive to climate, modeling studies tend to ignore climate effects. Here, I am interested in the arthropod …

The Use of Remote Sensing for Mapping Possible Vectors of West Nile Virus in Mississippi
… been hypothesized that vectors, such as local mosquito abundance, could be predicted from factors such as climate and land use/land cover. Remote sensing has been used as a supplement to traditional methods of mosquito surveillance and to map the spatial distribution of mosquito habitats. This, …

Mechanistic modelling of the links between environment, mosquitoes and malaria transmission in the current and future climates of West Africa
… pools provide breeding habitat for the anopheles mosquito vector, and temperature affects the mosquito's ability to spread disease. This thesis presents a framework of highly detailed, spatially explicit mechanistic modelling to explore the relationships between the environment and malaria in the …

The Development and Application of Coupled Multiscale Models of Malaria Disease System
… host and an embedded multi-scale model in the mosquito host. The developed multi-scale model consists of approaches of nonlinear differential equations that are employed to provide the mathematical results to the underlying issues of the multi-scale cycle of pathogen replication and …
