What are the vector species of the Oropouche virus?

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 2785-2793, April 2026.
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.

Genomic signatures of population decline in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae [PDF]

, 2016
Population genomic features such as nucleotide diversity and linkage disequilibrium are expected to be strongly shaped by changes in population size, and might therefore be useful for monitoring the success of a control campaign.

Genetic Basis of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Variation in the Desert Ant Cataglyphis niger

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are a ubiquitous component of ant cuticles that are used for a wide range of chemical signaling functions, especially recognition. Here we tested for a genetic basis of CHC variation in the desert ant Cataglyphis niger. We applied a genomic mapping approach to discover associations between CHCs and 20 quantitative trait ...

Colonization of Anopheles occidentalis and Anopheles hermsi.

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 1990
The colonization of Anopheles occidentalis is described and contrasted with colonization of a related species, An. hermsi. The latter species formerly was considered to be conspecific with the former, but the 2 species differ considerably in biological characteristics.

MOLECULAR STUDIES OF DIROFILARIA IMMITIS AND DIROFILARIA REPENS PROVIDED WITH THE DIRECT PCR METHOD OF MOSQUITOES RESEARCH IN MOSCOW AND NIZHNY NOVGOROD REGIONS

Сеченовский вестник, 2012
The aim of the study was to determine the degree of contamination of three kinds of female mosquitoes (Culex, Aedes, Anopheles) in some areas of Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod regions at different times of the warm season of the year (from May to September).

Zooprophylaxis as a control strategy for malaria caused by the vector Anopheles arabiensis (Diptera: Culicidae) : a systematic review [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Zooprophylaxis is the use of wild or domestic animals, which are not the reservoir host of a given disease, to divert the blood-seeking malaria vectors from human hosts.

Clashing in Murky Waters: On Amphibian Mosquito Suppression

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study compares the predator efficiency of common European amphibian species to common invertebrate mosquito predators. Focusing on the cosmopolitan mosquito Culex pipiens, known for transmitting pathogens like West Nile virus, we assessed predator rates, sex‐specific efficiency in amphibians, and the impact of predator presence on mosquito ...

Using the environmental light field method for measuring biologically relevant light characteristics at the household scale

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
The regular variations of light in the natural light cycle serve as one of the most important cues for the timing of biological events in organisms. The increasing prevalence of artificial light at night (ALAN) alters the natural light cycle and has been found to have harmful effects on human, wildlife, and environmental health.
