WHERE BOUNDARIES BECOME BRIDGES: MOSQUITO COMMUNITY COMPOSITION, KEY VECTORS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSOCIATIONS AT FOREST EDGES IN THE CENTRAL BRAZILIAN AMAZON.

Risk of spillover and spillback of mosquito-borne viruses in the neotropics, including yellow fever, dengue, Zika (Flaviviridae: Flavivirus), chikungunya, and Mayaro (Togaviridae: Alphavirus) viruses, is highest at ecotones where humans, monkeys, and mosquitoes coexist.With a view to identifying potential bridge vectors, we investigated changes in

We propose a novel channel model to be used for Girls Christmas Set simulating indoor wireless propagation environments.An extensive measurement campaign was carried out to assess the performance of different transport protocols over 802.11 links.This enabled us to better adjust our approach, which is based on an autoregressive filter.One of the ma

Aedes aegypti continues to spread globally and remains a challenge to control, in part due to its ‘cryptic behavior’ in that it often deposits eggs (oviposits) in larval Insect Repellent habitats that are difficult to find and treat using traditional methods.Auto-dissemination strategies target these cryptic breeding sites by employing
