The paper identifies polygenic viral factors in African Zika virus strains that enhance mosquito transmission efficiency compared to Asian strains.

This study assesses RVFV seroprevalence and risk factors in cattle in northern Tanzania between 2007 and 2024, identifying age, sex, herd size, water access, and geography as significant predictors.

This study shows that vector fidelity to initial blood meal hosts can sustain arbovirus transmission even when amplifying hosts are scarce.

This study shows that co-housed infected tsetse flies can contaminate naive flies with T. brucei DNA via faeces, leading to overestimation of infection prevalence in xenomonitoring.

This study compares PCR and microscopy for detecting trypanosome infections in tsetse flies and finds PCR is 1.9-9.3 times more sensitive, identifies species, and reveals cattle and human bloodmeals dominate.
