This study surveys mosquito populations in Northern Irish wetlands, identifying Culex pipiens/molestus hybrids and environmental factors influencing vector abundance.

The paper reports the first detection of Usutu virus in wild birds in Scotland, identifying it as part of an expanding geographic spread rather than a new introduction.

This study shows UV exposure increases susceptibility to arboviruses by altering skin cell states and enhancing mosquito probing.

The paper surveys Scottish wetland mosquitoes to confirm the presence of Culex molestus and hybrids, and identifies environmental drivers of mosquito abundance and distribution.

This study identifies NSm as a critical protein for bunyavirus transmission between vertebrate and arthropod hosts, showing its necessity for midgut infection and spread.

The paper develops a hemocyte-specific promoter tool in Anopheles gambiae to study immune functions and pathogen interactions in malaria mosquitoes.
