TL;DR: Results from this study suggest that females can fly at least 800 m in 6 days and, if infected, potentially spread virus rapidly, and that egg laying also occurred beyond these limits.

TL;DR: Analyses of frequencies of occurrence showed an unexpected high level of co-occurrence of both species in the same oviposition trap, despite the different geographical origins of Ae.

TL;DR: The results indicate that in Brazil, just as in North America, A. albopictus is a superior larval competitor to A. aegypti when exploiting leaf litter resources, and suggest that this competitive advantage for A.Albopictsus is likely to be independent of mosquito population origin, local environmental conditions, and local differences in the types of leaves that form the resource base of the aquatic habitats of larvae.

TL;DR: An overview of the discovery of Zika virus in Brazil, including its emergence and spread, epidemiological surveillance, vector and non-vector transmission routes, clinical complications, and socio-economic impacts is provided.

TL;DR: Variation in spatial seroprevalence patterns inside the neighborhoods, with significantly higher risk patches close to the areas with large human movement, suggests that humans may be responsible for virus inflow to small neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro.
