Effects of local and regional climatic fluctuations on dengue outbreaks in southern Taiwan
(PLOS ONE, 2017-06-02)Background: Southern Taiwan has been a hotspot for dengue fever transmission since 1998. During 2014 and 2015, Taiwan experienced unprecedented dengue outbreaks and the causes are poorly understood. This study aims to ... -
Epidemiological characteristics and space-time analysis of the 2015 dengue outbreak in the metropolitan region of Tainan City, Taiwan
(MDPI, 2018-02-26)The metropolitan region of Tainan City in southern Taiwan experienced a dengue outbreak in 2015. This manuscript describes basic epidemiological features of this outbreak and uses spatial and temporal analysis tools to ... -
Globally invasive, withdrawing at home: Aedes albopictus and Aedes japonicus facing the rise of Aedes flavopictus
(Springer, 2016)It has been suggested that climate change may have facilitated the global expansion of invasive disease vectors, since several species have expanded their range as tempera tures have warmed. Here, we present results from ... -
Hot temperatures can force delayed mosquito outbreaks via sequential changes in Aedes aegypti demographic parameters in autocorrelated environments
(Elsevier B.V, 2014)Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) is a common pantropical urban mosquito, vector of dengue, Yellow Fever and chikungunya viruses. Studies have shown Ae. aegypti abundance to be associated with envi ronmental fluctuations, ... -
Increased adult Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) abundance in a dengue transmission hotspot, compared to a coldspot, within Kaohsiung City, Taiwan
(MDPI, 2018-08-13)The assumption that vector abundance differences might drive spatial and temporal heterogeneities in vector-borne disease transmission is common, though data supporting it is scarce. Here, we present data from two common ... -
Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) species composition in ovitraps from a Mesoamerican Tropical Montane Cloud Forest
(Oxford University Press, 2018-08-20)Knowledge about mosquito species diversity at tropical montane cloud forests (TMCFs) in Mesoamerica is scarce. Here, we present data on mosquito species richness from samples biweekly collected, from January to December 2017, ... -
Neotropical bats that co-habit with humans function as dead-end hosts for dengue virus
(Public Library of Science (PLOS), 2017-05-18)Several studies have shown Dengue Virus (DENV) nucleic acids and/or antibodies present in Neotropical wildlife including bats, suggesting that some bat species may be susceptible to DENV infection. Here we aim to elucidate ... -
New and common haplotypes shape genetic diversity in Asian tiger mosquito populations from Costa Rica and Panama
(Oxford University Press, 2015)The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae), is a vector of sev eral human pathogens. Ae. albopictus is also an invasive species that, over recent years, has expanded its range out of its native ... -
Nonlinear impacts of climatic variability on the density dependent regulation of an insect vector of disease
(Blackwell, 2011-09)Aedes aegypti is one of the most common urban tropical mosquito species and an important vector of dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever viruses. It is also an organism with a complex life history where larval stages ... -
Prueba de torniquete como predictiva de sangrado espontáneo en casos de dengue clásico por den-2
(Asociación Costarricense de Salud Pública, 2008)Objetivo: Determinar el valor de la prueba de torniquete como predictiva de sangrado espontáneo en pacientes afectados por dengue clásico en un brote por el virus DEN-2. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio ... -
Serosurvey in two rural areas evidences recent and previously undetected WNV and SLEV circulation in Costa Rica
(medRxiv preprint, 2021-09-13)West Nile virus (WNV) and Saint Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV) share similar virus transmission cycles that involve birds as amplifiers and mosquitoes as vectors. Mammals, including humans, are dead-end-hosts that may be ... -
Serosurvey of nonhuman primates in Costa Rica at the human–wildlife interface reveals high exposure to flaviviruses
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing (MDPI), 2021-06-15)Arthropod-borne viruses belonging to the flavivirus genus possess an enormous relevance in public health. Neotropical non-human primates (NPs) have been proposed to be susceptible to flavivirus infections due to their ...
