also a new paper! very interesting study about dengue vectors in the region!

Speciation patterns of Aedes mosquitoes in the Scutellaris Group: a mitochondrial perspective - Scientific Reports The Scutellaris Group of Aedes comprises 47 mosquito species, including Aedes albopictus. While Ae. albopictus is widely distributed, the other species are mostly found in the Asia–Pacific region. Evolutionary history researches of Aedes species within the Scutellaris Group have mainly focuse...

I am very happy to share a new paper regarding Insecticide resistance in Cambodia! collaboration with Institut Pasteur of Cambodia, Institut Pasteur du Laos and Oxford Brookes University!

Metabolic Resistance and Not Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel Gene Mutation Is Associated with Pyrethroid Resistance of Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) from Cambodia (1) Background: In Cambodia, Aedes albopictus is an important vector of the dengue virus. Vector control using insecticides is a major strategy implemented in managing mosquito-borne diseases. Resistance, however, threatens to undermine the use of insecticides. In this study, we present the levels o...

More pictures from the Tiger Mosquito meeting!

VCC-SEA and Dr Sebastien Marcombe was a guest speaker a the 6th Interational Conference on the Tiger mosquito.

VCC-SEA participated in a working group of entomologist scientists from the Pasteur Network on Wednesday, March 27

VCC-SEA participated as a sponsor of the Vientiane International School Fun Fair 2024

Very happy to publish for the first time with our colleagues from South Korea, a genetic population study on Aedes albopictus, a dengue vector in the region:

Genetic Diversity of Dengue Vector Aedes albopictus Collected from South Korea, Japan, and Laos Aedes albopictus is native to Southeast Asia and has emerged as a major vector for vector-borne diseases that are spreading rapidly worldwide. Recent studies have shown that Ae. albopictus populations have different genetic groups dependent on their thermal adaptations; however, studies on Korean po...

A fascinating paper on the Asian tiger mosquito, with the participation of VCC SEA - Vector Control Consulting

Genomic Shifts, Phenotypic Clines, and Fitness Costs Associated With Cold Tolerance in the Asian Tiger Mosquito Abstract. Climatic variation is a key driver of genetic differentiation and phenotypic traits evolution, and local adaptation to temperature is expected in

Recently, we published a modeling paper on the incidence of Dengue vectors in Laos until 2100 regarding climate change in SEA!!!

Predicting the Effects of Climate Change on Dengue Vector Densities in Southeast Asia through Process-Based Modeling | Environmental Health Perspectives | Vol. 130, No. 12 Background: Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus mosquitoes are major vectors for several human diseases of global importance, such as dengue and yellow fever. Their life cycles and hosted arboviruses are climate sensitive and thus expected to be impacted by climate change. Most studies investigating cl...
