Vector Competence of Aedes caspius and Ae. albopictus Mosquitoes for Zika Virus, Spain
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019 We assessed the vector competence of Aedes caspius and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes in Spain for the transmission of Zika virus. Whereas Ae. albopictus mosquitoes were a competent vector, Ae. caspius mosquitoes were unable to transmit Zika virus.

The phenetic structure of Aedes albopictus
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2013 The large and recent migrations of the main vector of the Chikungunya virus, Aedes albopictus, raise questions about the epidemiological impact of possible microevolutionary changes in new territories. Quantitative traits are suitable to detect such changes as induced by environmental adaptations, local competition and founder effects.

Selection, counterselection, and conditional gene expression for genetic biocontrol of insects
Insect Science, EarlyView.Selection, counterselection, and conditional expression can be used for sex separation. Selection (S) and counterselection (CS) genes are linked to the sex chromosomes (e.g., the X and Y chromosomes) to confer sex‐specific selection or counterselection based on the presence or absence of the S or CS genes.

Aedes albopictus is a competent vector of Zika virus: A meta-analysis
PLoS ONE, 2019 Background Much work has been done in recent years to determine the vector competence of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) for Zika virus (ZIKV). If competent, Ae.

Viral Metagenomic Analysis of Aedes albopictus Mosquitos from Southern Switzerland
Viruses, 2020 A metagenomic study was performed on 498 female and 40 male Aedes albopictus mosquitos collected in August and September 2019 in Ticino, a region in southern Switzerland, to address the question regarding the risk of the local transmission of zoonotic ...

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control
Insect Science, EarlyView.The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Aedes albopictusMosquitoes, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 To the Editor: We collected Asian tiger mosquitoes, Aedes albopictus (Skuse), in Cancun in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico in September 2011. This mosquito is a nuisance biter of humans and a vector of numerous arboviruses, including those causing dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya (1). Ae.
