Implications of the trade-offs between negative density-dependence and Allee effects for vector control

This study examines how negative density-dependence and Allee effects interact in malaria mosquito populations and how different control strategies affect their dynamics.

Characterization of a new laboratory colony of Anopheles funestus mosquitoes established in Ifakara, Tanzania

This study characterizes a new Anopheles funestus colony (FUTAZ) established in Tanzania, comparing its fitness traits and genetic markers to wild and existing colonies.

An improved generic schema for high fidelity data linkage and sample tracing across complex multi-assay medical entomology studies

This paper evaluates an extended data schema for integrating multi-assay entomological data across field, insectary, and lab workflows, achieving high-fidelity sample tracing and data linkage.

An Autoencoder and Artificial Neural Network-based Method to Estimate Parity Status of Wild Mosquitoes from Near-infrared Spectra

This paper develops an autoencoder and ANN model to estimate parity status of wild mosquitoes using NIR spectra, achieving high accuracy across multiple datasets.

Age Grading An. Gambiae and An. Arabiensis Using Near Infrared Spectra and Artificial Neural Networks

This study compares artificial neural networks and partial least squares regression for age grading malaria mosquitoes using NIRS, finding higher accuracy with direct binary classifiers.
