Loa loa vectors Chrysops spp.: perspectives on research, distribution, bionomics, and implications for elimination of lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
BackgroundLoiasis is a filarial disease caused Loa loa. The main vectors are Chrysops silacea and C. dimidiata which are confined to the tropical rainforests of Central and West Africa.

Proteases of haematophagous arthropod vectors are involved in blood-feeding, yolk formation and immunity - a review

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Ticks, triatomines, mosquitoes and sand flies comprise a large number of haematophagous arthropods considered vectors of human infectious diseases. While consuming blood to obtain the nutrients necessary to carry on life functions, these insects can ...

Insecticide resistance in malaria vectors along the Thailand-Myanmar border

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
There is a paucity of data about the susceptibility status of malaria vectors to Public Health insecticides along the Thailand-Myanmar border. This lack of data is a limitation to guide malaria vector-control in this region.

International workshop on insecticide resistance in vectors of arboviruses, December 2016, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Vector-borne diseases transmitted by insect vectors such as mosquitoes occur in over 100 countries and affect almost half of the world’s population. Dengue is currently the most prevalent arboviral disease but chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever show ...
