Predicting reservoir hosts and arthropod vectors from evolutionary signatures in RNA virus genomes. [PDF]
Science, 2018 Predicting hosts and vectors During outbreaks of mysterious infections, events can rapidly become dangerous and confusing. A combination of increasing experience with outbreaks and genome-sequencing technology now means the pathogen can often be ...

A community approach of pathogens and their arthropod vectors (ticks and fleas) in dogs of African Sub-Sahara. [PDF]
Parasit Vectors, 2021 Background Arthropod-borne pathogens and their vectors are present throughout Africa. They have been well-studied in livestock of sub-Saharan Africa, but poorly in companion animals.

Tissue Barriers to Arbovirus Infection in Mosquitoes [PDF]
Viruses, 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 ...

The ecological significance of arthropod vectors of plant, animal, and human pathogens.
Trends in Parasitology, 2022 Vector management is a cornerstone in the fight against vector-borne pathogens. However, the impact on ecosystem functioning of reducing or eliminating arthropod vector populations remains poorly understood.

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 ...

Containment of Arthropod Disease Vectors [PDF]
ILAR 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.

A geospatial model of entry pathways of lumpy skin disease virus introduction into Australia [PDF]
Scientific ReportsLumpy skin disease (LSD) is a disease of bovines resulting from the mechanical transmission of lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) by arthropod vectors. While LSD has never been reported in Australia, the disease has spread through Asia and recently expanded
