Potential Distribution of <em>Aedes (Ochlerotatus) scapularis</em> (Diptera: Culicidae): A Vector Mosquito New to the Florida Peninsula [PDF]

open access: green, 2020
Aedes scapularis is a neotropical mosquito known to transmit pathogens of medical and veterinary importance. Its recent establishment in southeastern Florida has potential public health implications. We used an ecological niche modeling approach to predict the abiotic environmental suitability for Ae.

Powassan Virus Encephalitis in an Immunocompromised Patient: A Diagnostic Challenge With Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]

open access: yesCase Rep Infect Dis
Powassan virus (POWV) is a tick‐borne flavivirus transmitted to humans by Ixodes ticks. In this report, we describe an immunocompromised patient who presented with progressive neurologic symptoms and was diagnosed with POWV encephalitis. Additionally, the patient tested positive for Jamestown Canyon virus (JCV), a mosquito‐borne orthobunyavirus ...

What are the vector species of the Oropouche virus? [PDF]

open access: yesPest Manag Sci
Here, we review the timeline of Oropouche virus (OROV) detection in various hematophagous Diptera, from 1955 to date, including mosquitoes and midges. All vector competence experiments also are described. The results suggest that Culicoides are the primary vectors.

The use of RNA interference for the management of arthropod pests in livestock farms L'uso di RNA interferente per il controllo degli artropodi infestanti negli allevamenti

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 631-646, December 2023., 2023
Problems caused by arthropod pests to livestock production are increasing due to new legal restrictions on pesticide use, insurgence of resistance to insecticides in pest populations and climate change. RNA interference (RNAi) is a novel approach to pest control based on specific gene silencing in target species, characterised by a selective action ...

Function and evolution of the aquaporin IsAQP1 in the Lyme disease vector Ixodes scapularis

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 329-339, August 2023., 2023
IsAQP1 , an aquaporin found in the black legged tick (Ixodes scapularis), is a functional water channel with low permeability to glycerol. In a phylogenetic analysis of 176 sequences from 48 arachnid species, most tick and other arachnid AQP‐like genes formed a monophyletic clade nested within aquaglyceroporins (GLPs).

Insight into the Machinery and Applications for Understanding the Pathogen- Vector Interface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The availability of genome sequencing data in combination with knowledge of expressed genes via transcriptome and proteome data has greatly advanced our understanding of arthropod vectors of disease.
