Elevated Soluble HLA‐G Levels Associate With Dengue Severity in Vietnamese Patients
ABSTRACT The pathogenesis of dengue remains complex and incompletely understood. One proposed mechanism involves the virus evading host immune responses through the upregulation and/or secretion of immune‐inhibitory molecules. This study investigates the association between plasma levels of soluble human leukocyte antigen G (sHLA‐G), a known ...

Resting behaviour as a target for innovative mosquito control strategies
Abstract This work reviews and discusses how a deeper knowledge of mosquito time‐allocation, particularly resting periods, can enhance the effectiveness and deployment of classical vector control tools. As more high‐resolution data are gathered by novel tracking devices, follow‐up questions investigating mosquito behaviour are likely to arise ...

Role of microRNAs in Arbovirus/Vector Interactions [PDF]
The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as small non-coding RNAs in regulation of gene expression has been recognized. They appear to be involved in regulation of a wide range of cellular pathways that affect several biological processes such as development, the immune system, survival, metabolism and host-pathogen interactions.

We identified Culex pipiens bloodmeals at the species level in natural, agricultural and peri‐urban habitats and calculated host preferences based on forage ratios. This analysis showed Passeriformes, and in particular Columba livia, Passer montanus and Turdus sp., to be the preferred Cx. pipiens hosts.

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 ...

Vertebrate Reservoirs of Arboviruses: Myth, Synonym of Amplifier, or Reality?
The rapid succession of the pandemic of arbovirus diseases, such as dengue, West Nile fever, chikungunya, and Zika fever, has intensified research on these and other arbovirus diseases worldwide. Investigating the unique mode of vector-borne transmission

Determinants of Arbovirus Vertical Transmission in Mosquitoes
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 ...
