Ambivalent Roles of Oxidative Stress in Triangular Relationships among Arthropod Vectors, Pathogens and Hosts [PDF]
Antioxidants, 2022 Blood-feeding arthropods, particularly ticks and mosquitoes are considered the most important vectors of arthropod-borne diseases affecting humans and animals. While feeding on blood meals, arthropods are exposed to high levels of reactive oxygen species

Applications of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry to the Identification of Parasites and Arthropod Vectors of Human Diseases [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 Arthropod vectors and parasites are identified morphologically or, more recently, by molecular methods. Both methods are time consuming and require expertise and, in the case of molecular methods, specific devices.

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

A digital repository of samples from arthropod vectors [PDF]
Pathogens and Global HealthSustained by urbanization, globalization and climate change, infectious diseases transmitted by arthropod vectors, such as mosquitoes, ticks and sandflies, are emerging or resurging in Europe, including Italy. There are limited therapeutic treatments and vaccines for most arthropod-borne pathogens, thus monitoring and control of vectors remains the ...
