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

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 551-559, September 2026.
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 ...

The impact of temperature and insect-specific viruses on the transmission of alphaviruses by Aedes japonicus japonicus

Microbiology Spectrum
Arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) infections are increasing globally, and invasive mosquito species are spreading. Since the end of the last century, Aedes japonicus has continued to spread in Europe as well as in North America.

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

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 634-646, September 2026.
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. Our

Unrecognized Dengue Virus Infections in Children, Western Kenya, 2014–2015

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
We detected a cluster of dengue virus infections in children in Kenya during July 2014–June 2015. Most cases were serotype 1, but we detected all 4 serotypes, including co-infections with 2 serotypes.

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

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 446-459, September 2026.
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.

Mitogenomics of Culex pipiens Form Pipiens From the Turkish Black Sea Region Reveals Structural Conservation and Phylogenetic Complexity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Complete mitochondrial genomes of five Turkish Culex pipiens form pipiens isolates from the Black Sea region revealed highly conserved mitogenome architecture. Expanded comparisons across the broader Cx. pipiens complex showed that mitochondrial diversity was concentrated in selected loci and terminal regions associated with the A + T‐rich control ...
