Highlights in Medical Entomology 2023: vectors and the environment.

Abstract

Multiple factors play a role in determining the appropriate methods for protecting communities from public health threats, requiring collaboration and communication among entities from the national to the local level to build the capacity to adapt and respond to the changing environment. This review highlights publications from 2023 that provided value for the mosquito and vector control industry with potential to benefit those working at the local level. By focusing the discussion on emerging disease and vector threats, improving the understanding of insect ecology and behavior, and developing new control strategies and laboratory practices, the studies presented herein aim to provide new ideas for more effective vector management strategies, and thus, better public health protection.
