Despite the critical role that contact between hosts and vectors, through vector bites, plays in
driving vector-borne disease (VBD) transmission, transmission risk is primarily studied …

Background Transmission dynamics of mosquito-borne viruses such as dengue, Zika and
chikungunya are affected by the longevity of the adult female mosquito. Environmental …

The study sought to review the works of literature on agent-based modeling and the
influence of climatic and environmental factors on disease outbreak, transmission, and …

Mosquitoes are considered to be the deadliest animals on Earth because the diseases they
transmit claim at least a million human lives every year globally. Here, we discuss the scales …

Mathematical modeling has an extensive history in vector-borne disease epidemiology, and
is increasingly used for prediction, intervention design, and understanding mechanisms …

The recent spread of mosquito-transmitted viruses and associated disease to the Americas
motivates a new, data-driven evaluation of risk in temperate population centers. Temperate …

Monitoring and control of West Nile virus (WNV) presents a challenge to state and local
vector control managers. Models of mosquito presence and viral incidence have revealed …

In South America, yellow fever (YF) is an established infectious disease that has been
identified outside of its traditional endemic areas, affecting human and nonhuman primate …

Heterogeneous exposure to mosquitoes determines an individual's contribution to vector-
borne pathogen transmission. Particularly for dengue virus (DENV), there is a major difficulty …

Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic arbovirosis which has been reported across Africa
including the northernmost edge, South West Indian Ocean islands, and the Arabian …
