Combined effects of global warming and pesticide exposure on mosquitoes: integrating temporal aspects within and across generations in ecotoxicology KU Leuven
Pesticides and warming are two major environmental stressors in aquatic ecosystems that can cause biodiversity loss and can interact with each other. Therefore, investigating the combined effects of warming and pesticide exposure is important for assessing the net impact of pesticides on non-target aquatic species. Despite the growing awareness of the roles of temporal aspects in stressor interactions and of the effects of warming in ...
Analysing the oviposition behaviour of malaria mosquitoes: design considerations for improving two-choice egg count experiments KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Choice egg-count bioassays are a popular tool for analysing oviposition substrate preferences of gravid mosquitoes. This study aimed at improving the design of two-choice experiments for measuring oviposition substrates preferences of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae senso lato, a mosquito that lays single eggs. METHODS: In order to achieve high egg-laying success of female An. gambiae sensu stricto (s.s.) and Anopheles ...
Multistressor ecotoxicological study on Culex mosquitoes: from toxicity mechanisms to biotic interactions KU Leuven
Natural populations are increasingly facing multiple stressors. Their ability to deal with interacting stressor combinations will be crucial for their local persistence. Populations of target species are typically exposed to pesticide mixtures and natural stressors, and are increasingly developing resistance to single pesticides. Nevertheless, we have poor knowledge whether natural stressors and the presence of pesticide resistance shape mixture ...
Rift Valley fever virus and European mosquitoes: vector competence of Culex pipiens and Stegomyia albopicta (= Aedes albopictus) Institute of Tropical Medicine
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne disease caused by the Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV). Rift Valley fever affects a large number of species, including human, and has severe impact on public health and the economy, especially in African countries. The present study examined the vector competence of three different European mosquito species, Culex pipiens (Linnaeus, 1758) form molestus (Diptera: Culicidae), Culex pipiens hybrid form ...
Conocimiento de mosquitos y malaria en los barrios del Plan 3000, ciudad de Santa Cruz, Bolivia Institute of Tropical Medicine
Resistant humans, mosquitos and parasites in Cambodia: producing contested evidence for malaria elimination strategies in the margins of a repellent trial Institute of Tropical Medicine
This PhD-thesis presents results from mixed method studies performed within two malaria research projects conducted in Ratanakiri province, Cambodia. The first research project focused on identifying human factors involved in the maintenance of malaria transmission at the border of Vietnam and Cambodia. The second project concerned a community-randomized trial investigating the impact of mass use of repellents in addition to the use of ...
