Eliminating Aedes aegypti from its southern margin in Australia: insights from genomic data and simulation modeling

The paper uses genomic data and simulation modeling to show that Aedes aegypti populations in southern Australia can be eliminated with Wolbachia-infected male releases if rainwater tanks are removed first.

Populations of the Australian saltmarsh mosquito Aedes vigilax vary between panmixia and temporally stable local genetic structure

This study uses genomic data to show that Aedes vigilax mosquito populations exhibit varying genetic structures between panmixia and localized stability, with implications for pest management.

Australian vertebrate hosts of Japanese encephalitis virus; a review of the evidence

This review identifies potential vertebrate hosts of Japanese encephalitis virus in Australia using host competence scores and ecological data, highlighting gaps in evidence for spillover and maintenance hosts.
