DOI: 10.1007/s10900-021-01041-9
Abstract: Theory-based approaches to health communication and behavior are increasingly applied to interventions that address poor public tick-borne disease prevention knowledge and practices. We sought to understand the tick-borne disease prevention behaviors among participants in a… read more here.

A Population Dynamics Model of Mosquito-Borne Disease Transmission, Focusing on Mosquitoes' Biased Distribution and Mosquito Repellent Use.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Bulletin of mathematical biology"
DOI: 10.1007/s11538-019-00666-1
Abstract: We present an improved mathematical model of population dynamics of mosquito-borne disease transmission. Our model considers the effect of mosquito repellent use and the mosquito's behavior or attraction to the infected human, which cause mosquitoes'… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/08998280.2020.1795501
Abstract: Abstract Babesiosis is a tick-borne disease that shares the Lyme disease tick vector. Prompt microbiological smear examination and a parasitemia index guide further therapy. In severe cases with a parasitemia index >10%, exchange transfusion should… read more here.

Mosquito Identification From Bulk Samples Using DNA Metabarcoding: a Protocol to Support Mosquito-Borne Disease Surveillance in Canada
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Medical Entomology"
DOI: 10.1093/jme/tjab046
Abstract: Abstract Approximately 80 species of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) have been documented in Canada. Exotic species such as Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae) are becoming established. Recently occurring endemic mosquito-borne diseases (MBD) in Canada including West-Nile… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jme/tjab219
Abstract: Abstract Funding for vector-borne disease surveillance, management, and research is cyclical and reactive in the United States. The subsequent effects have yielded gross inequities nationally that unintentionally support recurrent outbreaks. This policy forum is comprised… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2018.0218
Abstract: How does wildlife loss affect tick-borne disease risk? To test this question, Titcomb et al . [1] excluded large mammals that typically support large numbers of adult ticks from 1 ha plots, and then quantified… read more here.
