Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus Ocurrences in Guatemala [PDF]
Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2017 BACKGROUND: Recent emergence of zika and chikungunya along with the continuous prevalence of dengue in Guatemala has become a threat to public health resulting in high morbidity and mortality. According to national epidemiologic vigilance reports, the prevalence for dengue, chikungunya, and zika are 53.42, 30.96, and 19.02 per 100,000 habitants ...

New adhesive traps to monitor urban mosquitoes with a case study to assess the efficacy of insecticide control strategies in temperate areas [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Urban mosquitoes in temperate regions may represent a high nuisance and are associated with the risk of arbovirus transmission. Common practices to reduce this burden, at least in Italian highly infested urban areas, imply calendar-based ...

Insecticide susceptibility of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in Central Africa [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2011 AbstractBackgroundAedes aegypti(Linnaeus, 1762) andAedes albopictus(Skuse, 1894) are the main vectors of dengue (DENV) and chikungunya (CHIKV) viruses worldwide. As there is still no vaccine or specific treatment for DENV and CHIKV, vector control remains the cornerstone of prevention and outbreak control.

RNAi Regulator C3PO Promotes Arbovirus Infection in Insect Vectors
Advanced Science, EarlyView.RNA interference (RNAi) is vital for eukaryotes to defend against virus infection. The C3PO complex takes part in RNAi but its role in regulating viral infection remains unclear. This work finds that insect C3PO facilitates arbovirus replication by degrading precursors of miRNAs, especially miR‐971‐3p.

Software for pattern recognition of the larvae of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2002 Software for pattern recognition of the larvae of mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, biological vectors of dengue and yellow fever, has been developed. Rapid field identification of larva using a digital camera linked to a laptop computer equipped with this software may greatly help prevention campaigns.
