  • Mosquito Species Identification Using Convolutional Neural Networks With
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Mosquito species identifcation using convolutional neural networks with a multitiered ensemble model for novel species detection Adam Goodwin1,2*, Sanket Padmanabhan1,2, Sanchit Hira2,3, Margaret Glancey1,2, Monet Slinowsky2, Rakhil Immidisetti2,3, Laura Scavo2, Jewell Brey2, Bala Murali Manoghar Sai Sudhakar1, Tristan Ford1,2, Collyn Heier2, Yvonne‑Marie Linton4,5,6, David B. Pecor4,5,6, Laura Caicedo‑Quiroga4,5,6 & Soumyadipta Acharya2* With over 3500 mosquito species described, accurate species identifcation of the few implicated in disease transmission is critical to mosquito borne disease mitigation. Yet this task is hindered by limited global taxonomic expertise and specimen damage consistent across common capture methods. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are promising with limited sets of species, but image database requirements restrict practical implementation. Using an image database of 2696 specimens from 67 mosquito species, we address the practical open‑set problem with a detection algorithm for novel species. Closed‑set classifcation of 16 known species achieved 97.04 ± 0.87% accuracy independently, and 89.07 ± 5.58% when cascaded with novelty detection. Closed‑set classifcation of 39 species produces a macro F1‑score of 86.07 ± 1.81%. This demonstrates an accurate, scalable, and practical computer vision solution to identify wild‑caught mosquitoes for implementation in biosurveillance and targeted vector control programs, without the need for extensive image database development for each new target region. Mosquitoes are one of the deadliest animals in the world, infecting between 250–500 million people every year with a wide range of fatal or debilitating diseases, including malaria, dengue, chikungunya, Zika and West Nile Virus1.

    RESEARCH ARTICLE Data-driven identification of potential Zika virus vectors Michelle V Evans1,2*, Tad A Dallas1,3, Barbara A Han4, Courtney C Murdock1,2,5,6,7,8, John M Drake1,2,8 1Odum School of Ecology, University of Georgia, Athens, United States; 2Center for the Ecology of Infectious Diseases, University of Georgia, Athens, United States; 3Department of Environmental Science and Policy, University of California-Davis, Davis, United States; 4Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Millbrook, United States; 5Department of Infectious Disease, University of Georgia, Athens, United States; 6Center for Tropical Emerging Global Diseases, University of Georgia, Athens, United States; 7Center for Vaccines and Immunology, University of Georgia, Athens, United States; 8River Basin Center, University of Georgia, Athens, United States Abstract Zika is an emerging virus whose rapid spread is of great public health concern. Knowledge about transmission remains incomplete, especially concerning potential transmission in geographic areas in which it has not yet been introduced. To identify unknown vectors of Zika, we developed a data-driven model linking vector species and the Zika virus via vector-virus trait combinations that confer a propensity toward associations in an ecological network connecting flaviviruses and their mosquito vectors. Our model predicts that thirty-five species may be able to transmit the virus, seven of which are found in the continental United States, including Culex quinquefasciatus and Cx. pipiens. We suggest that empirical studies prioritize these species to confirm predictions of vector competence, enabling the correct identification of populations at risk for transmission within the United States. *For correspondence: mvevans@ DOI: 10.7554/eLife.22053.001 uga.edu Competing interests: The authors declare that no competing interests exist.

Email: [email protected] 2 Centre for Biodiversity & Biosecurity, School of Biological Sciences, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand The acarological and palaeontological communities lost a rising star when Dr Ekaterina Alekseevna (Katya) Sidor- chuk passed away in a tragic accident while diving in the Maldives on 20 January 2019. Katya was a good colleague of many acarologists and much-loved friend of numerous collaborators. She was a highly-valued member of the editing team of Zootaxa, serving as a subject editor for Oribatida (Acari) for several years; her excellent editorial contributions were greatly appreciated by many colleagues and friends. To honour Katya, her colleagues and friends of the acarological world dedicate here a special volume of Zootaxa in her memory. This memorial volume collects 28 papers on a variety of topics and taxa (both fossil and extant), including 11 papers on Prostigmata (Fan et al. 2019; Ghasemi-Moghadam et al. 2019; Hajiqanbar et al. 2019; Khaustov et al. 2019; Khaustov & Frolov 2019; Lindquist & Sidorchuk 2019; Porta et al. 2019; Seeman 2019; Sidorchuk et al. 2019; Xu et al. 2019; Zmudzinski et al.

    POSTER PRESENTATIONS ______________________________________________________________ Poster Presentations 423 IMPROVEMENT OF RELEASE METHOD FOR APHIDOLETES APHIDIMYZA (DIPTERA: CECIDOMYIIDAE) BASED ON ECOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIORAL STUDIES Junichiro Abe and Junichi Yukawa Entomological Laboratory, Kyushu University, Japan ABSTRACT. In many countries, Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani) has been used effectively as a biological control agent against aphids, particularly in greenhouses. In Japan, A. aphidimyza was reg- istered as a biological control agent in April 1999, and mass-produced cocoons have been imported from The Netherlands and United Kingdom since mass-rearing methods have not yet been estab- lished. In recent years, the effect of imported A. aphidimyza on aphid populations was evaluated in greenhouses at some Agricultural Experiment Stations in Japan. However, no striking effect has been reported yet from Japan. The failure of its use in Japan seems to be caused chiefly by the lack of detailed ecological or behavioral information of A. aphidimyza. Therefore, we investigated its ecological and behavioral attributes as follows: (1) the survival of pupae in relation to the depth of pupation sites; (2) the time of adult emergence in response to photoperiod during the pupal stage; (3) the importance of a hanging substrate for successful mating; and (4) the influence of adult size and nutrient status on adult longev- ity and fecundity. (1) A commercial natural enemy importer in Japan suggests that users divide cocoons into groups and put each group into a plastic container filled with vermiculite to a depth of 100 mm. However, we believe this is too deep for A. aphidimyza pupae, since under natural conditions mature larvae spin their cocoons in the top few millimeters to a maxmum depth of 30 mm.

Personal Background The overall aim of this project is to use dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) as a prototype for other NAD(P) binding dehydrogenases to identify novel NAD(P) analogues that specifically target the NADPH binding site of DHFR as potent inhibitors of cancer cells. Specifically, we plan to investigate metabolism of NADPS in cell lines and in xenograft animal and to perform in silico screening of the NADPH binding site to identify potential new inhibitors targeted to DHFR. Lastly, we will determine further characterize the mechanism of action of NADPS in accelerating the degradation of DHFR in order to address development of drug-resistance to this new class of inhibitors.

  • Scheloribates Distinctus Mihelčič, 1964 – a Species of Mite (Acari: Oribatida) New to Fauna of Poland and New Records of Three Rare Species
    FRAGMENTA FAUNISTICA 52 (1): 21–23, 2009 PL ISSN 0015-9301 © MUSEUM AND INSTITUTE OF ZOOLOGY PAS Scheloribates distinctus Mihelčič, 1964 – a species of mite (Acari: Oribatida) new to fauna of Poland and new records of three rare species Grzegorz GRYZIAK Centre for Ecological Research PAS, Konopnickiej 1, 05-092 Łomianki, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: A new to fauna of Poland oribatid mite species (Scheloribates distinctus) and new localities of three rare species (Protoribates pannonicus, Punctoribates ghilarovi, Oppia nitens) are recorded from old compost heap in Łomianki near Warsaw, Mazovia Region, Poland. Key words: Scheloribates distinctus, Oppia nitens, Protoribates pannonicus, Punctoribates ghilarovi, new record, oribatid mites INTRODUCTION There is over 40 000 named species of mites (it is estimated that there is even 1 million unnamed species) and about 11 000 of described oribatid mites (Walter and Proctor 2004), with ca. 500 species occurring in Poland. It is almost half of European oribatid species (Olszanowski et al. 1996). Recognition of oribatid mites’ distribution is still unsatisfied as well (Niedbała 2004). Windrows of compost are hot-spots of soil biodiversity in local scale and can be very promising in faunistic research (Rozkošný 1982, Ødegaard and Tømmerås 2000). High richness of species and high abundance of individuals, are both much larger in compost heaps than in surrounding soil (Walter and Proctor 2004). Thereby probability of discovery of new or rare species is relatively high there. METHODS Mites were extracted from sample of over 20 years old garden compost, consisted of kitchen and garden vegetable litter, in January 2004, in Łomianki near Warsaw.
