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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

De novo assembly of the Aedes aegypti genome using Hi-C yields chromosome-length scaffolds [PDF]

Science, 2016
Hi-C for mosquito genomes Most genomes sequenced today are determined through the generation of short sequenced bits of DNA that are computationally pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle. This has resulted in the need for funds and additional data to fill

The role of urbanisation in the spread of Aedes mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit—A systematic review

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Background This systematic review aims to assess how different urbanisation patterns related to rapid urban growth, unplanned expansion, and human population density affect the establishment and distribution of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus and ...

Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus microbiome/virome: new strategies for controlling arboviral transmission?

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 ...

Bionomic aspects of dengue vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus at domestic settings in urban, suburban and rural areas in Gampaha District, Western Province of Sri Lanka

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background The lack of information on behavioural patterns of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus has become a significant limitation in vector control and disease management programmes.

Displacement of Aedes albopictus by Aedes aegypti in Gainesville, Florida [PDF]

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2021
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus are invasive mosquitoes, capable of vectoring arboviruses such as dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever, and Zika. Recent shifts in spatial distribution indicate there is a resurgence of Ae. aegypti in certain regions of Florida. After a 26-year absence, Ae.
