Journal ArticleDOI
Biased efficacy estimates in phase-III dengue vaccine trials due to heterogeneous exposure and differential detectability of primary infections across trial arms.
Guido España,Cosmina Hogea,Adrienne Guignard,Quirine A. ten Bosch,Amy C. Morrison,David L. Smith,Thomas W. Scott,Alexander C. Schmidt,T. Alex Perkins +8 more
TL;DR: Simulation models of vaccine trials that account for heterogeneity in dengue virus transmission and vaccine trial protocols can be used to anticipate the extent of bias in field trials and to aid in their interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Human Movement in the Transmission of Vector-Borne Pathogens
Steven T. Stoddard,Amy C. Morrison,Gonzalo M. Vazquez-Prokopec,Valerie A. Paz Soldan,Tadeusz J. Kochel,Uriel Kitron,John P. Elder,Thomas W. Scott +7 more
TL;DR: A conceptual model is developed to evaluate the importance of variation in exposure due to individual human movements for pathogen transmission, focusing on mosquito-borne dengue virus, showing that the relevance of human movement at a particular scale depends on vector behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal Studies of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in Thailand and Puerto Rico: Blood Feeding Frequency
Thomas W. Scott,Priyanie H. Amerasinghe,Amy C. Morrison,Leslie H. Lorenz,Gary G. Clark,Daniel Strickman,Pattamaporn Kittayapong,John D. Edman +7 more
TL;DR: Rates of multiple feeding were associated positively with temperature and negatively with mosquito size in Thailand, but not in Puerto Rico, and may be associated with variation in patterns of dengue virus transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
House-to-house human movement drives dengue virus transmission
Steven T. Stoddard,Steven T. Stoddard,Brett M. Forshey,Amy C. Morrison,Valerie A. Paz-Soldan,Gonzalo M. Vazquez-Prokopec,Gonzalo M. Vazquez-Prokopec,Helvio Astete,Robert C. Reiner,Robert C. Reiner,Stalin Vilcarromero,John P. Elder,Eric S. Halsey,Tadeusz J. Kochel,Uriel Kitron,Uriel Kitron,Thomas W. Scott,Thomas W. Scott +17 more
TL;DR: It is argued that reexamination of existing paradigms regarding the spatiotemporal dynamics of DENV and other vector-borne pathogens, especially the importance of human movement, will lead to improvements in disease prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defining challenges and proposing solutions for control of the virus vector Aedes aegypti.
TL;DR: If done properly, says the authors, Aedes aegypti suppression is a practical method to control urban dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya viruses.
