Arthropod Vectors and Vector-Borne Bacterial Pathogens in Yosemite National Park
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2011Ticks, fleas, and vector-borne pathogens were surveyed in diverse small mammals in Yosemite National Park, California, from 2005 to 2007. A total of 450 unique captures of small mammals was collected during a 3-yr period and yielded 16 species of fleas and 10 species of ticks, including known vectors of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Borrelia ...

Chemical ecology and olfaction in arthropod vectors of diseases
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2015Hematophagous arthropods (ticks and insects, collectively hereafter referred to as vectors) transmit various life threatening diseases resulting in over one million human deaths annually. Exploiting vertebrates for blood demanded extensive sensory and behavioral adaptations that are apparent across the evolutionary range of vector species, from ...

Evolution of Arthropod Disease Vectors
2003Abstract Fossils resembling arthropods first appeared during the late Proterozoic about 600 to 540 million years ago. Today the phylum Arthropoda contains∼80% of all extant metazoan animal species, and arthropods have come to occupy virtually every marine, freshwater, terrestrial, and aerial habitat on earth.

Avermectins in arthropod vector management — prospects and pitfalls
Parasitology Today, 1993The proven impact of avermectins against a wide variety of arthropod vectors suggests that this new family of compounds holds promise in reducing the incidence of vector-borne disease. Experimentally, decreased survival and abundance of various vector species indicate that certain vector populations may be so manipulated. In addition, sublethal effects

Arthropod promoters for genetic control of disease vectors
Trends in ParasitologyVector-borne diseases (VBDs) impose devastating effects on human health and a heavy financial burden. Malaria, Lyme disease, and dengue fever are just a few examples of VBDs that cause severe illnesses. The current strategies to control VBDs consist mainly of environmental modification and chemical use, and to a small extent, genetic approaches.

Genetic make-up of arthropod vectors.
Revue scientifique et technique (International Office of Epizootics), 2015A better understanding of the molecular aspects of arthropod vector biology and the processes that determine pathogen transmission can lead to the development of novel or improved control methods for vectors and vector-borne diseases. The 'omics' era provides unprecedented opportunities to explore these aspects of vectors and the diseases which they ...
