Anticoagulants in vector arthropods

Parasitology Today, 1996
Arthropod-borne diseases cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Mosquitoes alone may account for as many as three million deaths annually via the transmission of malaria. Because these diseases are transmitted to humans and to other vertebrates as a result of the ability of arthropods to feed on blood, the study of the biochemical ...

Arthropod Vector Biocontainment

2016
The recent emergence and reemergence of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) such as chikungunya and Zika viruses, which are transmitted by mosquitoes, highlights the need to increase the capacity to conduct research on these pathogens and the vectors that are involved in the transmission cycles.

Arthropod Vectors as Reservoirs of Microbial Disease Agents

Annual Review of Entomology, 1961
The subject of arthropod vectors as reservoirs of agents of animal diseases is difficult to review because of divergent viewpoints of the definition of a "reservoir." Some investigators would reserve this term for vertebrate hosts and the term "vector" for intermediate hosts (141).

Arthropods: Vectors of Disease Agents

Laboratory Medicine, 1994
Abstract : This is the third and final article in a continuing education series on arthropods. The interactions between arthropods and the various etiologic agents they transmit are reviewed. The incidence of arthropod-borne diseases in the United States, the causative agents, and their reservoirs, vectors and transmission mechanisms are summarized in ...

Exosome-Mediated Pathogen Transmission by Arthropod Vectors

Trends in Parasitology, 2018
Recent molecular and cellular studies have highlighted a potentially important role for tick exosomes in parasite transmission. Here we summarize evolving hypotheses about the largely unknown cellular events that may take place at the tick-host-pathogen interface, focusing on a potential role for arthropod exosomes in this tripartite interaction.

Haematophagous Arthropods as Vectors of Diseases

2010
The first terrestrial forms of arthropods appeared in the Palaeozoic, at the turn of the Silurian and Devonian ages some 400 million years ago. Today, arthropods form about 85% of all known animal species. They are characterized by segmentation of the body and limbs, reticulated paired appendages (antennae etc.), exoskeleton formed mainly of chitin ...

Skin and Arthropod Vectors

2018
Recent research on skin immunity and the skin microbiome reveals the complexity of the skin and its importance in the development of immunity against arthropod-borne diseases. In diseases such as malaria, borreliosis, leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, etc., the skin interface has been shown as an essential site for pathogens to hide from the immune ...

Arthropods as pests and vectors of disease

Veterinary Parasitology, 1980
Abstract The paper summarizes reports which indicate that billions of dollars are lost annually because of arthropods that are pests of domestic and wild animals and some of which transmit pathogens causing epizootics. Advances made through research to understand the roles of various insects, ticks and mites in causing illness and death are reviewed.
