“…Rapid detection of the first seasonal dengue cases and focused mosquito eradication should slow down the spread of the virus. Current fumigation methodologies are ineffective, in part because the insecticide dissipates rapidly with no or little residual action (Reiter, 2014). However, there are an increasing number of novel insecticidal techniques that offer potential for more effective vector control (Devine et al, 2009;Ritchie and Devine, 2013).…”

Dengue is the world's most important vector-borne viral disease. The dengue mosquito and virus are sensitive to climate variability and change. Temperature, humidity and precipitation influence mosquito biology, abundance and habitat, and the virus replication speed. In this study, we develop a modelling procedure to quantify the added value of including climate information in a dengue model for the 76 provinces of Thailand, from 1982-2013. We first developed a seasonal-spatial model, to account for dependency structures from one month to the next and between provinces. We then tested precipitation and temperature variables at varying time lags, using linear and nonlinear functional forms, to determine an optimum combination of time lags to describe dengue relative risk. Model parameters were estimated using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA).This approach provides a novel opportunity to perform model selection in a Bayesian framework, while accounting for underlying spatial and temporal dependency structures and linear or nonlinear functional forms. We quantified the additional variation explained by interannual climate variations, above that provided by the seasonal-spatial model. Overall, an additional 8% of the variance in dengue relative risk can be explained by accounting for interannual variations in precipitation and temperature in the previous month. The inclusion of nonlinear functions of climate in the model framework improved the model for 79% of the provinces. Therefore, climate forecast information could significantly contribute to a national dengue early warning system in Thailand.

“…The viruses responsible for dengue are transmitted primarily by Aedes aegypti, a predominately urban, day-biting mosquito that often resides in and around human dwellings and preferentially feeds on humans (Gubler, 1997); whereas the 4 human malaria parasites (Plasmodium) are transmitted by a wide variety of Anopheles species (Service & Townson, 2002 ). Dengue vector has proven extremely resilient to control measures because of its close association and exploitation of domestic and peridomestic human settings (Reiter & Gubler, 1997). On the other hand, malaria vectors display a more diverse array of host seeking behaviors and preference, biting patterns and larval breeding habitats (Pates & Curtis, 2005;Sinka et al, 2011).…”

“…aegypti. Chemical or biological larviciding and physical source reduction of container habitats are intended to control larvae, but house-to-house larval control is too laborious for sustainable implementation by vector control programmes or community participation (Reiter and Gubler, 1997;WHO, 2009;Horstick et al, 2010). During dengue outbreaks, outdoor and indoor spraying of insecticides is used to kill adults (WHO, 2009;.…”

FOREWORD │ 3SAFETY ASSESSMENTOF TRANSGENIC ORGANISMSIN THE ENVIRONMENT, VOLUME 8 © OECD 2018 ForewordModern biotechnologies are applied to plants species (crops, flowers, trees), animals and micro-organisms. The safety of the resulting transgenic organisms when released in the environment for their use in agriculture, forestry, the food and feed industry or for other applications represents a challenging issue. Genetically engineered products are rigorously assessed by their developers during their elaboration, and by governments when ready for release, to ensure high safety standards. This remains essential with new biotechnology developments using insects to fight against disease outbreaks: engineered mosquitoes need to be evaluated through a scientifically sound approach to risk/safety assessment that will inform biosafety regulators and support the decision concerning the release of these novel organisms in the environment.The OECD offers a long-standing recognised expertise in biosafety and contributes to facilitating an harmonised approach. The OECD's Working Group on Harmonisation of Regulatory Oversight in Biotechnology (WG-HROB) was established in 1995. The WG-HROB gathers national authorities responsible for the environmental risk/safety assessment of products of modern biotechnology in OECD countries and other economies. International organisations and experts involved in biosafety activities are a...
