Male mating competitiveness of a Wolbachia-introgressed Aedes polynesiensis strain under semi-field conditions.
TL;DR: The results reported here from semi-field experiments encourage forward progression toward small-scale field releases of A. polynesiensis populations by repeated, inundative releases of CP males to disrupt fertility of wild females and lead to suppression of the vector population.

Assessing Transmission of Lymphatic Filariasis Using Parasitologic, Serologic, and Entomologic Tools after Mass Drug Administration in American Samoa

TL;DR: Monitoring of infections in mosquitoes and antifilarial antibody levels in children may serve as indicators of local transmission and be useful for making decisions about program endpoints.

Xenomonitoring of Wuchereria bancrofti and Dirofilaria immitis infections in mosquitoes from American Samoa: trapping considerations and a comparison of polymerase chain reaction assays with dissection.

TL;DR: PCR testing of mosquitoes collected using the BG-Sentinel traps represents a promising alternative to landing catches for assessing the transmission of filariasis in areas where Ae.

Detection of Dirofilaria immitis (Nematoda: Filarioidea) by polymerase chain reaction in Aedes albopictus, Anopheles punctipennis, and Anopheles crucians (Diptera: Culicidae) from Georgia, USA.
TL;DR: Potential mosquito vectors of Dirofilaria immitis (Leidy) (Nematoda: Filarioidea), the causative agent of dog heartworm in the southeastern region of the United States, were collected with CDC light traps and gravid traps in seven counties in the state of Georgia.
Utility of comparative anchor-tagged sequences as physical anchors for comparative genome analysis among the Culicidae.
TL;DR: The designs of 35 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer pairs based upon orthlogous exons in Aedes aegypti and Drosophila melanogaster or Anopheles gambiae give broad genome coverage and demonstrate an efficient strategy for developing comparative anchor marker loci for any species of Culicidae.
