Past and future spread of the arbovirus vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus

Nature Microbiology, 2019
The global population at risk from mosquito-borne diseases—including dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya and Zika—is expanding in concert with changes in the distribution of two key vectors: Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus.

Contemporary status of insecticide resistance in the major Aedes vectors of arboviruses infecting humans

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Both Aedes aegytpi and Ae. albopictus are major vectors of 5 important arboviruses (namely chikungunya virus, dengue virus, Rift Valley fever virus, yellow fever virus, and Zika virus), making these mosquitoes an important factor in the worldwide burden ...

Spatiotemporal distribution and insecticide resistance status of Aedes aegypti in Ghana [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Vector control is the main intervention used to control arboviral diseases transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes because there are no effective vaccines or treatments for most of them.

Differential Susceptibilities of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus from the Americas to Zika Virus

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Background Since the major outbreak in 2007 in the Yap Island, Zika virus (ZIKV) causing dengue-like syndromes has affected multiple islands of the South Pacific region.

Improved reference genome of the arboviral vector Aedes albopictus [PDF]

Genome Biology, 2020
Background: The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus is globally expanding and has become the main vector for human arboviruses in Europe. With limited antiviral drugs and vaccines available, vector control is the primary approach to prevent mosquito ...

Management of insecticide resistance in the major Aedes vectors of arboviruses: Advances and challenges

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
Background The landscape of mosquito-borne disease risk has changed dramatically in recent decades, due to the emergence and reemergence of urban transmission cycles driven by invasive Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus.

Recent History of Aedes aegypti: Vector Genomics and Epidemiology Records [PDF]

BioScience, 2018
&NA; Aedes aegypti bears the common name “the yellow fever mosquito,” although, today, it is of more concern as the major vector of dengue, chikungunya, and, most recently, Zika viruses.

Aedes Mosquitoes and Aedes-Borne Arboviruses in Africa: Current and Future Threats

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2018
The Zika crisis drew attention to the long-overlooked problem of arboviruses transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes in Africa. Yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya and Zika are poorly controlled in Africa and often go unrecognized.

Integrated Aedes management for the control of Aedes-borne diseases

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Background Diseases caused by Aedes-borne viruses, such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever, are emerging and reemerging globally. The causes are multifactorial and include global trade, international travel, urbanisation, water storage ...

Global Distribution of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in a Climate Change Scenario of Regional Rivalry

Insects, 2023
Simple Summary Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitos pose threats of arboviral disease emergence to humans in future climates. Unique mosquito georeferenced data from VectorMap and comprehensive environmental data from WorldClim v. 2.1 were herein
