MosAICo is an AI system for automated mosquito species identification, achieving high accuracy and out-of-distribution detection across multiple geographic regions.

The paper identifies pathogens in high-altitude windborne mosquitoes, showing they are infectious and capable of spreading diseases over long distances.

This study shows that nutritional status affects the timing of host-seeking behavior in malaria mosquitoes, with less nutritious mosquitoes biting earlier in the night.

This study examines malaria vector diversity, transmission, and insecticide resistance in island communities along Volta Lake, finding high indoor biting and sporozoite rates with low resistance mutation frequencies.

This study assesses insecticide resistance in urban Anopheles arabiensis in Kisumu City, Kenya, finding high resistance to pyrethroids and elevated detoxification enzyme levels.

The paper reports the first detection of Anopheles stephensi in Ghana using molecular methods, highlighting the need for enhanced surveillance.

The paper analyzes Plasmodium falciparum CSP variants' interactions with human immunoproteins to explain RTS,S vaccine efficacy in Ghana, finding that peptide length affects binding affinity and immune response.

This study examines genetic and microbial diversity of Culex tritaeniorhynchus across multiple continents, finding high genetic and microbial variation and evidence of Wolbachia and insect-specific viruses.

This study examines biting and resting preferences of malaria vectors in The Gambia, finding that An. arabiensis prefers outdoor resting while An. coluzzii prefers indoor resting, with associated insecticide resistance mutations.
