2023 review
Embedded racism: Inequitable niche construction as a neglected evolutionary process affecting health
[Review of ]. EVOLUTION MEDICINE AND PUBLIC HEALTH, 11(1), 112–125.
author keywords: racism; health disparities; niche construction; evolutionary mismatch
TL;DR:
It is called for evolutionary and biomedical scholars to recognize the salience of racism as a pathogenic process biasing health outcomes studied across disciplines and to redress the neglect of focus on research and application related to this crucial issue.

Mosquito diversity and dog heartworm prevalence in suburban areas
PARASITES & VECTORS, 13(1).
author keywords: Mosquito; Heartworm; Urbanization; Diversity; Vector; Landscape; Disease ecology
MeSH headings : Aedes / parasitology; Animals; Culicidae; Dirofilaria immitis / parasitology; Dirofilariasis / parasitology; Dirofilariasis / transmission; Disease Vectors; Dog Diseases / transmission; Dogs; Environment; Mosquito Vectors / parasitology; North Carolina; Prevalence; Urbanization
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that decreases in mosquito diversity due to urbanization alter vector-borne disease risk, with regard to dog heartworm disease, this loss of mosquito diversity is associated with decreased heartworm prevalence within both the vector and the host.

Simplification of vector communities during suburban succession
PLOS ONE, 14(5), e0215485.
Ed(s): P. Leisnham
MeSH headings : Aedes / classification; Animals; Demography; Disease Vectors / classification; Housing / statistics & numerical data; Humans; Mosquito Vectors / classification; North Carolina; Social Class; Suburban Population
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that suburbanization is disrupting mosquito communities so severely that they do not recover their diversity even 100 years after the initial disturbance, which is significant for vector-borne disease transmission in highly suburbanized areas.

The role of parasite manipulation in vector-borne diseases
EVOLUTION MEDICINE AND PUBLIC HEALTH, pp. 106–107.
TL;DR:
The parasite manipulation hypothesis posits that parasites can purposefully alter host behaviours, increasing probability of transmission to an uninfected host, and applies to vector-borne diseases, where parasite-induced changes in vector behaviour can increase transmission to the non-arthropod host.
