Tissue Barriers to Arbovirus Infection in Mosquitoes [PDF]

open access: yesViruses, 2015
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) circulate in nature between arthropod vectors and vertebrate hosts. Arboviruses often cause devastating diseases in vertebrate hosts, but they typically do not cause significant pathology in their arthropod vectors ...

Proteases of haematophagous arthropod vectors are involved in blood-feeding, yolk formation and immunity - a review. [PDF]

open access: yesParasit Vectors, 2017
Ticks, triatomines, mosquitoes and sand flies comprise a large number of haematophagous arthropods considered vectors of human infectious diseases. While consuming blood to obtain the nutrients necessary to carry on life functions, these insects can ...

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 ...

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 ...

The immune response to lumpy skin disease virus in cattle is influenced by inoculation route

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) causes severe disease in cattle and water buffalo and is transmitted by hematophagous arthropod vectors. Detailed information of the adaptive and innate immune response to LSDV is limited, hampering the development of ...

Arthropods Vector Grapevine Trunk Disease Pathogens [PDF]

open access: yesPhytopathology®, 2014
Arthropod-mediated dispersal of pathogens is known in many cropping systems but has never been demonstrated for grapevine trunk disease pathogens. Arthropods from vineyards were screened for the presence of pathogens associated with Petri disease and esca using cultural and molecular techniques.
