Anticoagulants in vector arthropods
Parasitology Today, 1996Arthropod-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 ...

Emerging Tools for Identification of Arthropod Vectors
Future Microbiology, 2016The rapid and reliable identification of arthropod vector species is an essential component of the fight against vector-borne diseases. However, owing to the lack of entomological expertise required for the morphological identification method, development of alternative and complementary tools is needed.

Arthropod Vector Biocontainment
2016The 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.

Exosome-Mediated Pathogen Transmission by Arthropod Vectors
Trends in Parasitology, 2018Recent 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.

Arthropods: Vectors of Disease Agents
Laboratory Medicine, 1994Abstract : 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 ...

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 ...

Managing Risks of Arthropod Vector Research
Science, 2000Field research with vectors is an essential aspect of vector biology research and vector-borne disease prevention and control. This type of research, which brings experimental vector manipulations into endemic areas, can present risks to human populations.

Genetic make-up of arthropod vectors
Revue Scientifique et Technique de l'OIE, 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 ...

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 ...
