Insect species recognition is a typical application of image categorization and object recognition. Unlike generic image categorization datasets (such as the Caltech 101 dataset) that have large variations between categories, the difference of appearance between insect species is so small that only some entomologist experts can distinguish them. Therefore, the state-of-the-art image categorizat...

The aim of this paper is to develop a mathematical model to simulate mosquito dispersal and its control taking into account environmental parameters, like wind, temperature, or landscape elements. We particularly focus on Aedes albopictus mosquito which is now recognized as a major vector of human arboviruses, like chikungunya, dengue, or yellow fever. One way to prevent those epidemics is to c...

‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ is an insect-transmitted, phloem-restricted ?-proteobacterium associated with huanglongbing. Here, we provide the whole genome sequence of ‘Ca. L. strain ReuSP1 from its insect vector Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae) collected in La Réunion. The composed 1,230,064 bp and has a 36.5% G+C content. This study reports first Réunion, which will add to resour...
