Larvicidal Effects of Metabolites Extracted from < em > Nocardia < /em > and < em > Streptomyces < /em > Species against the Forth Larval Stage of < em > Anopheles stephensi < /em > (Diptera: Culicidae)
CONCLUSION: The four bacterial metabolites tested in our study were found to have a notable effect on the mortality rate of Anopheles stephensi larvae, indicating their potential as natural larvicides. This is an effective technique for controlling Anopheles stephensi that has no detrimental environmental impact.PMID:37822754 | PMC:PMC10562205 | DOI:10.18502/jad.v17i2.13623 (Source: Iranian Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases)

Decline of Malaria Incidence in Three Villages of Thar Desert, India: The Impact of Use of Insecticide-Treated Nets
CONCLUSION: The use of alternative forms of ITNs shows a potential for preventing malaria and are making a significant contribution to the mosquito control. Effective use of ITNs could be helpful in the malaria elimination in India by 2030.PMID:37822755 | PMC:PMC10562204 | DOI:10.18502/jad.v17i2.13622 (Source: Iranian Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases)

Metagenomics Characterization of < em > Ixodes ricinus < /em > Intestinal Microbiota as Major Vector of Tick-Borne Diseases in Domestic Animals
CONCLUSION: Our results indicated that metagenomics identifies bacteria genera and species which cannot be easily recognized by routine methods. The presence of such pathogenic bacteria indicates the importance of possible zoonotic diseases in this region which could affect public health. These results further substantiate the importance of advanced metagenomics analyses to identify neglected tick-borne pathogens which enable researchers to provide efficient mapping roads for the management of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.PMID:37822757 | PMC:PMC10562206 | DOI:10.18502/jad.v17i2.13620 (Source: Iranian Journa...

Predatory Efficiency of Larvivorous Fish against Mosquito Larvae in Different Water Temperature Levels: Implication in Control Measure of Dengue Vector
CONCLUSION: Betta splendens is the best larvivorous fish in the lower to normal, but A. panchax is the best in the normal to higher temperature ranges. This finding should be considered by public health workers in selecting larvivorous fish to control the Dengue vectors.PMID:37822759 | PMC:PMC10562203 | DOI:10.18502/jad.v17i2.13617 (Source: Iranian Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases)

Absence of Asymptomatic Malaria Reservoirs in an Area with a Previous History of Local Malaria Transmission: A Successful Experience in Line with the Malaria Elimination Program in Iran
CONCLUSION: The results of this study have shown that, without concerns for asymptomatic parasitic patients, a malaria elimination program has been successfully implemented within the studies area. In addition, the findings emphasized the existence of a strong malaria surveillance system in this area.PMID:37822760 | PMC:PMC10562199 | DOI:10.18502/jad.v17i2.13618 (Source: Iranian Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases)
