Controlling vector-borne diseases by releasing modified mosquitoes.
TL;DR: Novel mosquito population reduction and population modification approaches with a focus on control methods based on the release of mosquitoes and strategies to genetically modify the vector are reviewed, which have the potential to contribute to a reversal of the current alarming disease trends.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dengue: A Minireview.
TL;DR: This work reviews DENV biology, epidemiology, transmission dynamics including circulating serotypes and genotypes, the immune response, the pathogenesis of the disease as well as updated diagnostic methods, treatments, vector control and vaccine developments.

Mapping global variation in dengue transmission intensity.
Lorenzo Cattarino,Isabel Rodriguez-Barraquer,Natsuko Imai,Derek A. T. Cummings,Neil M. Ferguson +4 more
TL;DR: A downloadable high-resolution map of the global variation in dengue transmission intensity is presented, suggesting that Wolbachia-based intervention may be more likely than the Sanofi-Pasteur vaccine to reduce the global disease burden.

Optimal control strategies for dengue transmission in pakistan.
Folashade B. Agusto,M.A. Khan +1 more
TL;DR: Optimal control theory is applied to investigate the optimal strategy for curtailing the spread of the disease using two time-dependent control variables determined from sensitivity analysis and results show that the two controls avert the same number of infections in the district.

Myers,Dylan B. George,Thomas Jaenisch,G. R. William Wint,Cameron P. Simmons,Thomas W. Scott,Thomas W. Scott,Jeremy Farrar,Jeremy Farrar,Simon I. Hay,Simon I. Hay +22 more
TL;DR: These new risk maps and infection estimates provide novel insights into the global, regional and national public health burden imposed by dengue and will help to guide improvements in disease control strategies using vaccine, drug and vector control methods, and in their economic evaluation.

TL;DR: The basic biology of Wolbachia is reviewed, with emphasis on recent advances in the authors' understanding of these fascinating endosymbionts, which are found in arthropods and nematodes.

Johnson,Brian H. Kay,Elizabeth A. McGraw,Andrew F. van den Hurk,Andrew F. van den Hurk,Peter A. Ryan,Scott Leslie O'Neill +17 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that this Wolbachia-mediated pathogen interference may work synergistically with the life-shortening strategy proposed previously to provide a powerful approach for the control of insect transmitted diseases.

TL;DR: This work describes how the wMel Wolbachia infection, introduced into the dengue vector Aedes aegypti from Drosophila melanogaster, successfully invaded two natural A. aagypti populations in Australia, reaching near-fixation in a few months following releases of wMel-infected A.A. ae Egyptian adults.
