Prevalence of Mosquito Populations in the Caribbean Region of Colombia with Important Public Health Implications

open access: yesTropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2022
Mosquito studies are important for understanding their role in the transmission of pathogens including arboviruses, parasites, and protozoa. This study characterized the prevalence of Culicidae fauna in rural and peri-urban areas with human populations ...

Testicular Degeneration and Infertility following Arbovirus Infection [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2018
During the recent Zika epidemic, it has become apparent that arboviruses could potentially cause reproductive health problems in male patients. Little is known regarding the effects that arboviruses have on the male reproductive tract. Here, we studied bluetongue virus (BTV), an arbovirus of ruminants, and its effects on the testes of rams.

Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) feeding on donkeys in the United Kingdom, with reference to the risk of transmission and persistence of African horse sickness virus

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Culicoides biting midges were collected at a donkey sanctuary in the United Kingdom using UV light‐suction traps. Culicoides were found in abundance and all specimens were identified to species level. Blood‐feeding on donkeys was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of host bloodmeals. Donkeys could play a significant role in the

Ingestion of attractive toxic sugar baits containing ivermectin before and after blood feeding affects the biology and reproduction of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Attractive toxic sugar bait containing ivermectin (ATSB‐IVM) ingestion markedly reduced blood feeding, survival, oviposition, egg production and larval hatching, with the strongest effects when baits were ingested before blood feeding. Timing of ingestion (48–96 h before or after blood feeding) shaped sublethal impacts across the first and second ...

Mosquito feeding patterns in the context of West Nile and eastern equine encephalitis viruses in eastern Ontario, Canada

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Mosquitoes in Eastern Ontario, Canada, readily fed on bloodmeal hosts consistent with patterns observed in other regions of North America. Enzootic and bridge vector mosquitoes fed on amplification hosts like American Robins (Turdus migratorius) together with humans, highlighting a potential route for WNV and EEEV transmission to human populations.

Effect of blood meals and mating on biodemographic characteristics of Aedes albopictus

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Lifespan did not differ between virgin and mated males and females. The number of blood meals (one and two) significantly reduced adult lifespan compared with those with no blood meal. The effect of the second blood meal doubled females' egg production and their reproductive output.
