Homing endonuclease genes (HEGs) exist naturally in many single-celled organisms and can show extremely strong genetic drive allowing them to spread t...

Knowledge of the link between a vector population's pathogen-transmission potential and its biotic environment can generate more realistic forecasts o...

1. The problems of vertebrate pests are greater now than ever before, with vertebrate control constrained by problems of humaneness, scale and environ...

Understanding seasonal patterns of activity, or phenology, of vector species is fundamental to determining seasonality of disease risk and epidemics o...

A model is described for predicting the outcome of biological control of New Zealand possums, using viral-vectored immunocontraception based on a sexu...

Prevention of Chagas disease is mainly dependent on control of the insect vectors that transmit infection. Unfortunately, this control is not wholly s...

Monitoring abundance is essential for vector management, but it is often only possible in a fraction of managed areas. For vector control programmes, ...

1. Estimating population abundance is a key objective of surveillance programmes, particularly for vector species of public health interest. For mosqu...

Culicoides biting midges are vectors of internationally important arboviruses including bluetongue virus (BTV). The ecological constraints imposed by ...

Pine wilt disease, caused by pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus; abbreviated 'PWN'), is a damaging and globally distributed insect-vectored...
