The V410L knockdown resistance mutation occurs in island and continental populations of Aedes aegypti in West and Central Africa
by Ayres et al.These results suggest that populations carrying the same kdr mutations may respond differently to the same insecticide, stressing the need for complementary studies when assessing the impact of kdr resistance mechanisms in the outcome of insecticide-based control strategies.
Gender mainstreaming as a pathway for sustainable arbovirus control in Latin America
by Clare Wenham et al.Management of insecticide resistance in the major Aedes vectors of arboviruses: Advances and challenges
by Dusfour et al.Based on a plan developed for malaria vectors, here the authors propose some key activities to establish a global plan for insecticide resistance management in Aedes species.
Advances in Visualization Tools for Phylogenomic and Phylodynamic Studies of Viral Diseases
by Theys et al.The authors of this study focus on solutions that address joint temporal and spatial visualization but also consider what the future may bring in terms of visualization and how this may become of value for the coming era of real-time digital pathogen surveillance, where actionable results and adequate intervention strategies need to be obtained within days.
Emerging trends of Zika apprehension in an epidemic setting
by Fritzell et al.The findings of this study have implications for the development of multifaceted infection control programs, including strategies for prevention and awareness, helping the population to develop an accurate perception of the threat they are facing and encouraging behavior changes.
