Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Mosquito-borne illnesses exact an enormous toll on human health; malaria parasites alone currently infect approximately 500 million people, more than 1 million of whom will die this year. A. gambiae is the principal malaria vector in sub-Saharan Africa, where 90% of the world's deaths due to malaria occur. Historically, the greatest successes in prevention of malaria, yellow fever, and other mosquito-borne disease have come from controlling the mosquito vector. Current work on vector control holds much promise and can be addressed more efficiently by genomic approaches. The reference genome sequence of A. gambiae sensu stricto (a representative member of the cryptic A. gambiae species complex) has yielded novel insecticide targets, has facilitated the identification of genes involved in insecticide resistance, and has led to the identification of genes that underlie the strong preference of this vector for human blood. Germ-line transformation of the mosquito has been achieved and the reference genome sequence will facilitate efforts to develop a tractable genetic control strategy for mosquitoes. The publication of the A. gambiae genome is a landmark in medical entomology, both because this was the first vector genome to be fully sequenced and because of the impact of this mosquito on public health.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
