The global distribution of the arbovirus vectors Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus
TLDR
This work compile the largest contemporary database for both species and pair it with relevant environmental variables predicting their global distribution, showing Aedes distributions to be the widest ever recorded; now extensive in all continents, including North America and Europe.

A review of the invasive mosquitoes in Europe: ecology, public health risks, and control options.
TLDR
Current understanding of all exotic aedine species in Europe is reviewed, highlighting the known import pathways, biotic and abiotic constraints for establishment, control strategies, and public health significance, and encourages Europe-wide surveillance for invasive mosquitoes.

Driving forces for changes in geographical distribution of Ixodes ricinus ticks in Europe
TLDR
Improved tick surveillance with harmonized approaches for comparison of data enabling the follow-up of trends at EU level will improve the messages on risk related to tick-borne diseases to policy makers, other stake holders and to the general public.

Variation in malaria transmission intensity in seven sites throughout Uganda.
TLDR
Based on the observed behavior of the vectors, insecticide-treated bed nets will be highly effective in controlling malaria, however, in the high transmission areas, additional measures will be needed to reduce the malaria burden to acceptable levels.

An entomological review of invasive mosquitoes in Europe
TLDR
This paper focusses in greater detail on the entomological and ecological aspects of these mosquitoes to assist with the risk assessment process, bringing together a large amount of information gathered through the ECDC VBORNET project.

Chikungunya outbreak in the Caribbean region, December 2013 to March 2014, and the significance for Europe.
TLDR
Clinicians should be aware that chikungunya should be carefully considered among travellers currently returning from the Caribbean region and the likelihood of the introduction of the virus into Europe from the Americas and subsequent transmission should be considered especially in the context of the next mosquito season in Europe.

False positive circumsporozoite protein ELISA: a challenge for the estimation of the entomological inoculation rate of malaria and for vector incrimination
TLDR
The aim of present study was to estimate the level of false positivity among different anopheline species in Cambodia and Vietnam and to check for the presence of other parasites that might interact with the anti-CSP monoclonal antibodies.

Past and future spread of the arbovirus vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus
TLDR
It is shown that human movement patterns explain the spread of both Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in Europe and the United States following their introduction and predicted the future distributions of both species in response to accelerating urbanization, connectivity and climate change.

Chikungunya: Its History in Africa and Asia and Its Spread to New Regions in 2013-2014.
TLDR
The history of CHIKV is discussed as well as its expanding geographic distribution, and the E1 glycoprotein A226V mutation of the East/Central/South Africa genotype conferred enhanced transmission by the A. albopictus mosquito and has been implicated in CHikV's further spread in the last decade.
