JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MOSQUITO CONTROL ASSOCIATION
Scope & Guideline
Exploring the intersection of ecology and public health.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Vector Biology and Ecology:
Research on the biology, ecology, and behavior of mosquito species, including their interactions with the environment and other species. This includes studies on habitat preferences, breeding sites, and seasonal population dynamics. - Surveillance and Monitoring:
Development and evaluation of methodologies for monitoring mosquito populations and their associated pathogens. This includes the use of traps, surveillance technologies, and epidemiological assessments to track mosquito-borne disease outbreaks. - Insecticide Resistance Management:
Investigations into the mechanisms and prevalence of insecticide resistance in mosquito populations. This research aims to inform management practices and the development of new control strategies to mitigate resistance. - Control Strategies and Efficacy Studies:
Evaluation of various mosquito control methods, including chemical, biological, and environmental interventions. Research focuses on the efficacy and nontarget effects of these control strategies. - Public Health Implications:
Research that connects mosquito control efforts with public health outcomes, particularly in relation to vector-borne disease transmission and community health education.
Trending and Emerging
- Innovative Surveillance Techniques:
Emerging themes in the use of technology for mosquito surveillance, such as the application of drones and advanced trapping methods, are gaining traction. This reflects the need for more efficient and effective monitoring systems in vector control. - Genomic and Molecular Studies:
Increasing research on the genetic and molecular aspects of mosquitoes, including studies on resistance genes and pathogen interactions. This trend is critical for developing targeted control strategies and understanding disease dynamics. - Climate Change Impact Studies:
Research focusing on the effects of climate change on mosquito populations and the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases is becoming more prevalent. This theme highlights the importance of understanding environmental changes in vector ecology. - Community Engagement and Education:
A growing emphasis on community participation in mosquito control efforts and public education about vector-borne diseases. This approach recognizes the role of public awareness in effective control strategies.
Declining or Waning
- Historical Data Analysis:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies focused solely on historical data analysis of mosquito populations and diseases, likely due to a shift towards more immediate, applied research that addresses current challenges in mosquito control. - Laboratory-Based Studies:
Fewer publications seem to focus on purely laboratory-based studies without field applications. The trend is shifting towards integrated studies that incorporate both lab and field data to provide more comprehensive insights. - Invasive Species Studies:
Research specifically targeting invasive mosquito species appears to be less frequent, possibly indicating that such studies have become more integrated into broader ecological and epidemiological research.
