Genetic and morphological polymorphisms of Aedes scapularis (Diptera: Culicidae), vector of filariae and arboviruses

open access: closedInfection, Genetics and Evolution, 2021
Aedes scapularis is a neotropical mosquito that is competent to vector viruses and filariae. It is reputed to be highly morphologically and genetically polymorphic, facts that have raised questions about whether it is a single taxonomic entity. In the last five decades, authors have posed the hypothesis that it could actually be a species complex under

Polymorphism in male genitalia ofAedes(Ochlerotatus)scapularisRondani, 1848

open access: closedBulletin of Entomological Research, 2017
AbstractMorphology of male genitalia of culicids is generally species-specific and often used as a taxonomic marker. However, some characters of the male genitalia vary intraspecifically and are not taxonomically diagnostic. This might be the case ofAedes scapularis, a Neotropical culicid with vector competence for arboviruses and filarial worms. Males

Genomic evidence of yellow fever virus in Aedes scapularis, southeastern Brazil, 2016

open access: closedActa Tropica, 2020
The southeastern region of Brazil has recently experienced the largest yellow fever disease outbreak in decades. Since July 2016 epizootic events were reported in São Paulo state's north region, where 787 Culicidae were captured as part of public health surveillance efforts and tested using real-time quantitative PCR.

Chimeric Tick-Borne Encephalitis/Dengue Virus Is Attenuated in Ixodes scapularis Ticks and Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes [PDF]

open access: closedVector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2010
In an effort to derive an efficacious live attenuated vaccine against tick-borne encephalitis, we generated a chimeric virus bearing the structural protein genes of a Far Eastern subtype of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) on the genetic background of recombinant dengue 4 (DEN4) virus.

Key-factor analysis of immature stages of Aedes scapularis (Diptera: Culicidae) populations in southeastern Brazil

open access: closedBulletin of Entomological Research, 2002
AbstractDevelopment times and mortality factors were investigated for populations of Aedes scapularis (Rondani) occurring in natural temporary ground pools in southeastern Brazil. Analysis of life tables by the key-factor method showed that mortality caused by desiccation of breeding sites was the principal factor accounting for fluctuations in ...
