Can trials of spatial repellents be used to estimate mosquito movement? (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Knowledge of mosquito movement would aid the design of effective intervention strategies against malaria. However, data on mosquito movement through mark-recapture or genetics studies are
Cyclovirus CyCV-VN species distribution is not limited to Vietnam and extends to Africa (Publications)
Cycloviruses, small ssDNA viruses of the Circoviridae family, have been identified in the cerebrospinal fluid from symptomatic human patients. One of these species, cyclovirus-Vietnam (CyCV-VN), was s
