Trends in mosquito species distribution modeling: insights for vector surveillance and disease control

This study reviews 204 mosquito species distribution modeling studies, finding most use MaxEnt and focus on human disease vectors in Africa and Asia.

Newer Surveillance Data Extends our Understanding of the Niche of Rickettsia montanensis (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae) Infection of the American Dog Tick (Acari: Ixodidae) in the United States.

This study updates species distribution models for the American dog tick and Rickettsia montanensis using newer data, showing little niche change but slight geographic shifts.

Mapping current and future thermal limits to suitability for malaria transmission by the invasive mosquito Anopheles stephensi

The paper maps current and future thermal suitability for malaria transmission by Anopheles stephensi using climate and population data, showing increased risk in many regions.

What makes Hemidactylus invasions successful? A case study on the island of Curacao.

This study investigates the factors contributing to the success of Hemidactylus mabouia invasions on Curaçao by analyzing diet, morphology, and competition with native geckos.

Shifting transmission risk for malaria in Africa with climate change: a framework for planning and intervention

This paper models future malaria transmission risk in Africa under climate change scenarios, showing increased population at risk in Eastern and Southern Africa by 2080.

Detecting the impact of temperature on transmission of Zika, dengue and chikungunya using mechanistic models

This paper uses mechanistic models to show temperature-dependent transmission of Zika, dengue, and chikungunya, finding peak transmission between 26-29°C and seasonal limitations in temperate regions.
