Rickettsial Pathogens and Their Arthropod Vectors [PDF]

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 1998
Rickettsial diseases, important causes of illness and death worldwide, exist primarily in endemic and enzootic foci that occasionally give rise to sporadic or seasonal outbreaks.

Immunometabolism in Arthropod Vectors: Redefining Interspecies Relationships [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Parasitology, 2020
Metabolism influences biochemical networks, and arthropod vectors are endowed with an immune system that affects microbial acquisition, persistence, and transmission to humans and other animals. Here, we aim to persuade the scientific community to expand their interests in immunometabolism beyond mammalian hosts and towards arthropod vectors ...

Containment of Arthropod Disease Vectors [PDF]

open access: yesILAR Journal, 2005
Effective containment of arthropod vectors of infectious diseases is necessary to prevent transmission of pathogens by released, infected vectors and to prevent vectors that escape from establishing populations that subsequently contribute to increased disease.

Mitochondrion-Dependent Apoptosis Is Essential for Rickettsia parkeri Infection and Replication in Vector Cells

open access: yesmSystems, 2021
Apoptosis is an innate immune response induced by infection in eukaryotes that contributes significantly to protection from pathogens. However, little is known about the role of apoptosis in the interactions of arthropod vectors with the rickettsiae that

Mapping the poultry insectome in and around broiler breeder pullet farms identifies new potential Dipteran vectors of Histomonas meleagridis

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Histomonas meleagridis can infect chickens and turkeys. It uses the eggs of the cecal worm Heterakis gallinarum as a vector and reservoir. Litter beetles (Alphitobius diaperinus) and other arthropod species have been implicated as potential ...

Challenges at the host-arthropod-coronavirus interface and COVID-19: a One Health approach

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2021
Background: The world faces the challenge posed by the interaction between hosts and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) with potential role for arthropod vectors, and the effect of SARS-CoV-2 variants on acquired immunity ...

Diversity and distribution of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Peru and their relationship with metaxenic diseases

open access: yesRevista de la Facultad de Medicina, 2021
Introduction: Tropical Andean and Amazonian ecosystems shape the great biodiversity found in Peru. However, studies on mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in the country are scarce, resulting in an information gap regarding their diversity, ecology ...
