Life remained far from normal as we completed the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic and entered a second year. Despite the challenges faced worldwide, together we continue to move the field of Medical Entomology forward. Here, I reflect on parallels between control of Covid-19 and vector-borne disease control, discuss the advantages and caveats of using new genotyping technologies for the study of invasive species, and proceed to highlight papers that were published between 2020 and 2021 with a focus on those related to mosquito surveillance and population genetics of mosquito vectors.
在我们完成新冠大流行的第一年并进入第二年之际,生活远非正常。尽管全球面临挑战,但我们仍共同努力推动医学昆虫学领域向前发展。在这里,我反思了控制新冠病毒和控制虫媒疾病之间的相似之处,讨论了使用新基因分型技术研究入侵物种的优势和注意事项,并接着重点介绍了 2020 年至 2021 年间发表的与蚊子监测和蚊子媒介种群遗传学相关的论文。
