The DynamAedes paper is available on ParasitesVectors: parasitesandvectors.biomedcent

Daniele Da Re developed this open-source tool (running with R) to the population dynamics (in time and space) of 4 species of established in Europe : , , Aedes japonicus and Aedes koreicus.

surveillance data in France have been used to test the model, we are happy to have contribute to the development of this model.

wAlbB are used to control transmission of .

Here, authors perform comparative of two wAlbB. Repeat elements significantly contribute to variations in the genomes, especially around the .

These differences contribute resistance. The resistant strain is a good candidate for future release efforts!

prevent ovary development in . Pretty unusual since Wolbachia are maternally transmitted. This has a huge impact on fitness.

"Wolbachia inhibits ovarian formation and increases blood feeding rate in female Aedes aegypti"
