Spillover: From climate change to pandemics by Mary E. Wilson

“…Climate change will increase human infections and the risk of pandemics by affecting pathogenic microbes, their environmental reservoirs and animal hosts, and the mosquitoes and other vectors that transmit them. Climate-induced movement of arthropod vectors and range shifts of wildlife will place larger populations at higher risk for infectious spillover events. …”

Optimal control of chikungunya disease: Larvae reduction, treatment and prevention by Djamila Moulay, M. A. Aziz-Alaoui, Hee-Dae Kwon

“…These viruses are arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) transmitted by arthropods like mosquitoes of Aedes genus. The nature of these arboviruses is complex since it conjugates human, environmental, biological and geographical factors.Recent researchs have suggested, in particular during the Réunion Island epidemic in 2006, that the transmission by Aedes albopictus (an Aedes genus specie) has been facilitated by genetic mutations of the virus and the vector capacity to adapt to non tropical regions.In this paper we formulate an optimal control problem, based on biological observations. …”

Design of a Property-Based Rainwater Drainage System at FETADFA Campus. by Orikiiriza, Agnes

“…The Faculty of Engineering, Technology Applied Design and Fine Art suffers from localized ponding due to heavy rains and this has resulted into water ingress into the buildings, inadequate space for parking and socializing amongst students since the compound and some walkways are inaccessible leading to stagnation thus resulting into a habitat for frogs, snails and insects such as mosquitoes. Roof drainage system in particular siphonic roof drainage system has been designed for the large roof areas. …”
