Excited to share our new preprint with my former student, David Suarez-Salazar! We explored the relationship between the genetic structure of malaria parasites and transmission intensity. Read the preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to share our latest work published in Parasites & Vectors. In our paper, we explored how climate variability and interspecific competition jointly shape the population dynamics of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, two key vectors of dengue. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Temperature and competition: drivers in the ecological dynamics of Aedes mosquitoes and dengue spread - Parasites & Vectors

Background Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease endemic to tropical regions, primarily transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Climate-driven temperature changes are altering vector eco...

It’s my pleasure to share our new preprint, which I had the opportunity to lead, and which has been in the making since 2022. In this work, we used climate data, phylogeography, and antigenic profiling to uncover the dynamics of DENV spread in Colombia. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Genomic epidemiology of dengue virus 2 and 3 reveals repeated introductions and exportations of several lineages in Colombia.

Dengue fever, a major mosquito–borne viral disease, is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes and poses a significant global health burden. Despite extensive research, the spatiotemporal dynamics of dengue v...

Thanks Alex Perkins (not here) and notre dame for the awesome brutally cold week of writing models and models, thinking about how to undertand behavioral aspects on vector borne transmission (stay tuned!) and let me talk about the science we do at @uniandes.bsky.social
