A new review article from the INHS-MEL was recently published in Frontiers in Tropical Diseases titled “Dynamics of invasive mosquitoes: introduction pathways, limiting factors, and their potential role in vector-borne pathogen transmission”. The article discusses the impact of global trade and travel on the spread of vector-borne pathogens (VBPs) and highlights concerns about the introduction of invasive mosquito species via modern transportation and the subsequent escalation of VBP outbreaks.
