This paper develops an automated deep learning pipeline for Diptera wing landmark and semilandmark annotation, achieving high accuracy comparable to human observers and outperforming existing methods.

Not all West Nile virus lineages behave alike: vector competence and minimum infectious dose differences between lineages 1 and 2

This study compares transmission efficiency and infectious dose requirements of West Nile virus lineages 1 and 2 in different mosquito species.

A process-based model simulating the life cycle of Culex pipiens s.s./Cx. torrentium in Germany

The paper develops a process-based model to predict the spatial-temporal occurrence of Culex pipiens s.s./Cx. torrentium in Germany, accurately capturing phenology and overwintering behavior.

Accurate identification of invasive Aedes mosquito species using low-cost imaging and geometric wing morphometrics

This paper evaluates using low-cost smartphone imaging with geometric wing morphometrics to accurately identify invasive Aedes mosquito species, finding it reliable but with higher observer variability compared to professional microscopes.

Morphological and genetic heterogeneity in Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) populations across diverse landscapes in West Africa

This study examines morphological and genetic diversity in Aedes aegypti across different landscapes in West Africa, revealing significant variation in scaling patterns and mitochondrial lineages.
