Afrotropical sand fly-host plant relationships in a leishmaniasis endemic area, Kenya

Iman, B Hassaballa; Catherine, L Sole; Xavier, Cheseto; Baldwyn, Torto; David, P Tchouassi (PLOS Neglected Tropical Disease, 2021)

The bioecology of phlebotomine sand flies is intimately linked to the utilization of environmental resources including plant feeding. However, plant feeding behavior of sand flies remains largely understudied for Afrotropical ...
Biological traits of wild-caught populations of Aedes aegypti in dengue endemic and non-endemic regions of Kenya

Caroline, Wanjiku; David, P Tchouassi; Catherine, L Sole; Christian, W W Pirk; Baldwyn, Torto (WILEY, 2021)

Variation in vector traits can modulate local scale differences in pathogen transmission. Here, we compared seasonal variation in the wing length (proxy for body size) and energy reserves of adult wild-caught Aedes aegypti ...
Exploring the influence of different habitats and their volatile chemistry in modulating sand fly population structure in a leishmaniasis endemic foci, Kenya

Iman, B Hassaballa; Baldwyn, Torto; Catherine, L Sole; David, P Tchouassi (PLOS Neglected Tropical Disease, 2021)

Phlebotomine sand flies transmit many viral protozoan and bacterial pathogens of public health importance. Knowledge of the ecologic factors influencing their distribution at local scale can provide insights into disease ...
