Reproducibility and relevance in insect-arbovirus infection studies

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2018
Experimental infections of insects with arboviruses are performed to achieve a variety of objectives but principally to draw inferences about the potential role of field populations in transmission or to explore the molecular basis of vector-pathogen interactions.

Field studies of Culex mosquitoes in Tanzania and Kenya: A systematic review motivated by changing Rift Valley fever virus transmission patterns

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.

Predicting the Spatial Dynamics of Wolbachia Infections in Aedes Aegypti Arbovirus Vector Populations in Heterogeneous Landscapes

bioRxiv, 2018
A promising strategy for reducing the transmission of dengue and other arboviral human diseases by Aedes aegypti mosquito vector populations involves field introductions of the endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia.

Flavivirus Infection Associated with Cerebrovascular Events

Viruses, 2020
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) of the genus Flavivirus are distributed globally and cause significant human disease and mortality annually. Flavivirus infections present a spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic to severe ...

Discovery of a new inland population of Leptoconops noei in Italy with sequencing of the first complete mitochondrial genome for the genus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The genus Leptoconops is poorly investigated, despite its ecological relevance and biting nuisance. The studies in Italy focused only on the coastal areas. Inland populations of Leptoconops noei are documented for the first time in Italy. We record their presence in an area covering Siena district, Tuscany region, in an atypical environment for the ...

Arbovirus emergence in the temperate city of Córdoba, Argentina, 2009-2018 [PDF]

, 2019
The distribution of arbovirus disease transmission is expanding from the tropics and subtropics into temperate regions worldwide. The temperate city of Córdoba, Argentina has been experiencing the emergence of dengue virus, transmitted by the mosquito ...

Culicoides species involved in the BTV‐3 epidemic, the Netherlands, 2023–2024

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A high amount of Culicoides‐midges were captured using Onderstepoort light traps on farms with animals infected with bluetongue serotype 3 (BTV‐3) at the beginning of the outbreak in 2023. Species, sex and parity of the captured Culicoides‐midges were morphologically determined and gravid and parous Culicoides‐midges have been selected and pooled for ...

Possible Future Monoclonal Antibody (mAb)-Based Therapy against Arbovirus Infections

BioMed Research International, 2013
More than 150 arboviruses belonging to different families are known to infect humans, causing endemic infections as well as epidemic outbreaks. Effective vaccines to limit the occurrence of some of these infections have been licensed, while for the ...

Immunotropic Therapy of Arbovirus Infections in Children

Антибиотики и Химиотерапия, 2020
Cytochemical indices of peripheral blood leukocytes were investigated. The results allowed to estimate the level of the disease severity and to control the immunotropic therapy efficacy.

Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.
