Temperature modulates immune gene expression in mosquitoes during arbovirus infection
Open Biology, 2020 The principal vector of dengue, Zika and chikungunya viruses is the mosquito Aedes aegypti, with its ability to transmit pathogens influenced by ambient temperature.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Morin hydrate promoted mortality and reduced the rate of pupation and egg laying in Aedes aegypti larvae that survive treatment. Morin hydrate reduces the levels of triacylglycerol, the main lipid reserve in A. aegypti larvae. The expression of proteins involved in lipogenesis and lipolysis was downregulated and upregulated, respectively, in larvae ...

Frontiers in Public Health, 2019 Background: Aedes aegypti is the principal vector for several important arbovirus diseases, including dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever, and Zika. While recent empirical research has attempted to identify the current global distribution of the vector ...

Vector-Virus Interactions and Transmission Dynamics of West Nile Virus
Viruses, 2013 West Nile virus (WNV; Flavivirus; Flaviviridae) is the cause of the most widespread arthropod-borne viral disease in the world and the largest outbreak of neuroinvasive disease ever observed.

Metagenomic Snapshots of Viral Components in Guinean Bats
Microorganisms, 2021 To prevent the emergence of zoonotic infectious diseases and reduce their epidemic potential, we need to understand their origins in nature. Bats in the order Chiroptera are widely distributed worldwide and are natural reservoirs of prominent zoonotic ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.There were 275 studies reporting Culex abundance, 17 of which explicitly stated the motivation for the study was RVFV. Despite most studies being motivated by other topics, there was good coverage of studies reporting mosquito sampling in areas associated with the risk of RVFV outbreaks. Studies were c.

Wolbachia versus dengue: Evolutionary forecasts. [PDF]
, 2013 A novel form of biological control is being applied to the dengue virus. The agent is the maternally transmitted bacterium Wolbachia, naturally absent from the main dengue vector, the mosquito Aedes aegypti.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.Summary In plant molecular farming, recombinant products include traditional protein targets, such as antibodies, antigens, and enzymes, but also increasingly refers to high‐value peptides, and small molecules produced by heterologous enzymatic pathways.

Inhibition of Arbovirus Assembly by Cycloheximide [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1969 Addition of cycloheximide (100 μg/ml) to cultures of chick cells infected with Semliki Forest virus (SFV) halted subsequent increase in virus titers. When added after 4 hr of infection, the drug had no effect on the rate of viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis, although marked inhibition of protein synthesis was seen. All of the previously identified

Determinants of Arbovirus Vertical Transmission in Mosquitoes [PDF]
PLOS Pathogens, 2016 Vertical transmission (VT) and horizontal transmission (HT) of pathogens refer to parental and non-parental chains of host-to-host transmission. Combining HT with VT enlarges considerably the range of ecological conditions in which a pathogen can persist, but the factors governing the relative frequency of each transmission mode are poorly understood ...
