also a new paper! very interesting study about dengue vectors in the region!

The Scutellaris Group of Aedes comprises 47 mosquito species, including Aedes albopictus. While Ae. albopictus is widely distributed, the other species are mostly found in the Asia–Pacific region. Evolutionary history researches of Aedes species within the Scutellaris Group have mainly focuse...

I am very happy to share a new paper regarding Insecticide resistance in Cambodia! collaboration with Institut Pasteur of Cambodia, Institut Pasteur du Laos and Oxford Brookes University!

(1) Background: In Cambodia, Aedes albopictus is an important vector of the dengue virus. Vector control using insecticides is a major strategy implemented in managing mosquito-borne diseases. Resistance, however, threatens to undermine the use of insecticides. In this study, we present the levels o...

Very happy to publish for the first time with our colleagues from South Korea, a genetic population study on Aedes albopictus, a dengue vector in the region:

Aedes albopictus is native to Southeast Asia and has emerged as a major vector for vector-borne diseases that are spreading rapidly worldwide. Recent studies have shown that Ae. albopictus populations have different genetic groups dependent on their thermal adaptations; however, studies on Korean po...

A fascinating paper on the Asian tiger mosquito, with the participation of VCC SEA - Vector Control Consulting

Abstract. Climatic variation is a key driver of genetic differentiation and phenotypic traits evolution, and local adaptation to temperature is expected in

Recently, we published a modeling paper on the incidence of Dengue vectors in Laos until 2100 regarding climate change in SEA!!!

Background: Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus mosquitoes are major vectors for several human diseases of global importance, such as dengue and yellow fever. Their life cycles and hosted arboviruses are climate sensitive and thus expected to be impacted by climate change. Most studies investigating cl...
