Anopheles gambiae: historical population decline associated with regional distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets in western Nyanza Province, Kenya

TLDR
A marked decline of the A. gambiae s.s. population occurred as household ownership of bed nets rose in a region of western Kenya over a 10 year period, resulting in the observed proportionate increase in A. arabiensis compared to its closely related sibling species.

Predicting the Risk of Lyme Disease: Habitat Suitability for Ixodes scapularis in the North Central United States

TLDR
A risk map is constructed indicating suitable habitats within areas where I. scapularis is already established and areas of high probability the tick will become established if introduced, which has both explanatory power and predictive capability.

Land use change alters malaria transmission parameters by modifying temperature in a highland area of Uganda

TLDR
It appears that replacement of natural swamp vegetation with agricultural crops has led to increased temperatures, which may be responsible for elevated malaria transmission risk in cultivated areas.

Midgut bacteria in Anopheles gambiae and An. funestus (Diptera: Culicidae) from Kenya and Mali.

TLDR
Habitat-related variation in the prevalence of diverse types of bacteria in mosquitoes could influence malaria parasite development in mosquitoes and corresponding sporozoite prevalence.
