Using spatial genetics to quantify mosquito dispersal for control programs

Using spatial genetics to quantify mosquito dispersal for control programs

Abstract Background Hundreds of millions of people get a mosquito-borne disease every year and nearly one million die. Transmission of these infections is primarily tackled through the control of mosquito vectors. The accurate quantification of mosquito dispersal is critical for the design and optim...
