There is a compelling need for new drugs and efficient treatments
against mosquito-borne diseases. Environmentally safe, but
effective insecticides that address the problems of resistance are
required. Computational Design of Chemicals for the Control of
Mosquitoes and Their Diseases explains how the search for new
substances effective against mosquitoes and their diseases has
benefited from the use of in silico techniques. QSAR modeling is
suited to identify the key structural features and/or
physicochemical properties explaining an activity and to propose
candidate molecules for further evaluation by laboratory tests.
Homology modeling is useful to approximate the 3D structure of
proteins of interest. Pharmacophore modeling is a powerful means to
capture the chemical features responsible for an activity and to
identify new potentially active compounds via the virtual screening
of databases. Fugacity modeling and a wealth of other modeling
paradigms are useful for risk assessment in vector borne disease
control.
