Our insectary currently only has UV-light bug zappers installed which don't really do much for mozzies. #VectorControl #Mosquito

The DynamAedes paper is available on ParasitesVectors: https://parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13071-022-05414-4
Daniele Da Re developed this open-source tool (running with R) to #model the population dynamics (in time and space) of 4 #mosquito species of #Aedes established in Europe : #Aedesalbopictus, #Aedesaegypti, Aedes japonicus and Aedes koreicus.
#TigerMosquito surveillance data in France have been used to test the model, we are happy to have contribute to the development of this model.

wAlbB #Wolbachia #endosymbiont #bacteria are used to control #Aedes #mosquito transmission of #dengue.
Here, authors perform comparative #genomics of two wAlbB. Repeat elements significantly contribute to variations in the genomes, especially around the #phages.
These differences contribute #temperature resistance. The resistant strain is a good candidate for future release efforts!

#Endosymbiont #Wolbachia #Bacteria prevent ovary development in #Aedes #mosquitoes. Pretty unusual since Wolbachia are maternally transmitted. This has a huge impact on #insect fitness.
"Wolbachia inhibits ovarian formation and increases blood feeding rate in female Aedes aegypti"
