Aedes albopictus distribution in Ibagu é, Colombia: Potential risk of arboviral outbreaks
CONCLUSIONS: Aedes albopictus is distributed throughout all the communes of Ibague. Its dispersion has probably been favored by this region’s environmental and social conditions. We recommend annual monitoring of these vectors populations and molecular characterization of the found arboviruses. Ascertaining this mosquito’s distribution throughout the city will enable focusing entomological control strategies and preventing future arbovirus outbreaks.PMID:38109139 | PMC:PMC10826468 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.7010 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Population genetics of Aedes albopictus in the port cities of Hainan Island and Leizhou Peninsula, China
CONCLUSION: Ae. albopictus in port areas are not significantly different from urban and rural populations due to strong gene flow, which prevents differentiation and increases the genetic diversity of the populations. High genetic diversity facilitates mosquito adaptation to complex environmental changes, which is a challenge for vector-borne disease control in port areas.PMID:38104852 | DOI:10.1016/j.meegid.2023.105539 (Source: Infection, Genetics and Evolution)

Climate change and the rising incidence of vector-borne diseases globally
As the world experiences warmer weather, heat waves and flooding, the climate change is leading to the geographical expansion of mosquitos, which are known vectors of a range of infectious diseases like dengue, malaria, chikungunya, yellow fever, rift valley fever, West Nile fever, Japanese encephalitis and Zika which affect millions of people worldwide (1). Climate change now threatens the spread of vector-borne diseases to previously low-risk areas in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas (2-7) According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an additional 250,000 deaths per year will occur in the next decades as a r...

Etiological characterization of acute undifferentiated febrile illness in Apartad ó and Villeta municipalities, Colombia, during COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSION: We confirm the relevance of dengue fever, leptospirosis, SFG rickettsiosis, COVID-19 and malaria as causes of AUFI in the municipality of Apartadó, and highlight the great importance of SFG rickettsiosis as the main cause of AUFI in the municipality of Villeta.PMID:38075419 | PMC:PMC10705856 | DOI:10.53854/liim-3104-11 (Source: Infezioni in Medicina)
