📣 Useful publication alert! If you're collecting or sharing vector trait data 🦟🦠, this new paper from @vectorbyte.bsky.social introducing the MIReVTD (Minimum Information for Reporting Vector Trait Data) standard is for you: doi.org/10.1093/giga... #FAIRData #DataStandards #DataSharing #Traits

New preprint out from our semi-field work in Ghana: lnkd.in/gv7qawvK An. gambiae biting time is shaped by the nutritional status. 'Hungry' #mosquitoes (blue, fed on .5% sugar) bite earlier then well fed animals (red, 10% sugar + prior blood meal) Highlights biting times is complex phenomenon.

Come visit Notre Dame this summer for our next VectorByte workshop.

Prediction of mosquito vector abundance for three species in the Anopheles gambiae complex

Background: The dynamics of vector borne disease transmission depend on the abundances of vectors. The dominant malaria vector species complex of Anopheles gambiae sensu lato is a target of vector con...

Made it to beautiful Puerto Rico for Mondays' start of the American Mosquito Control Association meeting. I'm soft-launching a new project with @vectorbyte.bsky.social to collate continental-wide mosquito surveillance open data at my talk Thursday. Info at sites.nd.edu/samuel-rund/... Lets chat!

I'm one of the PIs of VectorByte project. Consider following our project page:

This is VectorByte's first Bluesky post - we are now here for all of your vector trait and dynamics excitement!!

My new paper with Daan Van der Veen. We reveal a curious ability of the An. stephensi malaria mosquito to respond to temperature cycles to adjust their daily time-of-activity. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
