An end-to-end assembly of the Aedes aegypti genome [PDF]
Science, 2016 We present an end-to-end genome assembly of a female Aedes aegypti mosquito, which spreads viral diseases such as yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika to humans. The assembly is based on an earlier genome published in 2007 and improved in 2013.

Modelling the Dynamics of an Aedes albopictus Population [PDF]
EPTCS 33, 2010, pp. 18-36, 2010 We present a methodology for modelling population dynamics with formal means of computer science. This allows unambiguous description of systems and application of analysis tools such as simulators and model checkers.

Large-Scale Modelling of the Environmentally-Driven Population Dynamics of Temperate Aedes albopictus (Skuse) [PDF]
, 2016 The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is a highly invasive vector species. It is a proven vector of dengue and chikungunya viruses, with the potential to host a further 24 arboviruses.

The effect of temperature on dengue virus transmission by Aedes mosquitoes
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Dengue is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. As an arbovirus disease, it is mainly transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. According to the previous studies, temperature is closely related to the survival of Aedes mosquitoes, the ...

Evolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 394-411, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are the main vectors of highly pathogenic viruses for humans, such as dengue (DENV), chikungunya (CHIKV), and Zika (ZIKV), which cause febrile, hemorrhagic, and neurological diseases and remain a major threat to global ...

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 202-212, January 2023., 2023 Abstract In regulatory risk assessment, surrogate species of fish, aquatic invertebrates, and primary producers are tested to assess toxicity and subsequently the risk of pesticides to freshwater biota. This study evaluates whether the standard, surrogate test species (mostly temperate in latitudinal distribution) used in many parts of the world are ...

Insect‐specific viruses used in biocontrol of mosquito‐borne diseases
Interdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Insect‐specific RNA viruses (ISRVs) are involved in a wide range of families including Flaviviridae, Bunyaviridae, Negeviruses, Togaviridae, Reoviridae, Mesoniviridae, and Rhabdoviridae, which cannot infect vertebrates, including humans. However, ISRVs can infect and replicate in mosquitoes, interfering with the replication of mosquito‐borne viruses ...
