Juvenile Hormone-Sensitive Ribosomal Activity Enhances Viral Replication in Aedes aegypti

mSystems, 2021
Most flaviviruses are transmitted between hosts by arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes. Since therapeutics or vaccines are lacking for most mosquito-borne diseases, reducing the mosquito vector competence is an effective way to decrease disease burden.

Can Tick Microbiome Explain Nonlinear Relationship between Tick Abundance and Lyme Disease Incidence?

Pathogens, 2023
Ticks (Acari: Ixodida) are hematophagous ectoparasitic arachnids that feed on the blood of vertebrate hosts, posing significant concern due to their unrivaled capacity to transmit various pathogens, which surpasses those of all other known arthropod ...

DEET microencapsulation: a slow-release formulation enhancing the residual efficacy of bed nets against malaria vectors.

, 2007
Textile materials treated with synthetic repellents have the potential to provide protection against insect disease vectors but lack the residual activity necessary to achieve a prolonged effect or to be cost-effective.

Arthropod-Borne Pathogens in Wild Canids

Veterinary Sciences, 2023
Wild canids, as well as other wild animal species, are largely exposed to bites by ticks and other hematophagous vectors where the features favoring their presence and spread are found in wooded and semi-wooded areas.

Is Arthropod Saliva the Achilles’ Heel of Vector-Borne Diseases? [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2013
Vector-borne pathogens are deposited into the skin of the vertebrate host animal during the process of blood feeding. The pathogen establishes an infection from this site rather than by having direct access to the host’s circulatory system. In an attempt to simplify the complex interactions between multiple species (vertebrate host, arthropod vector ...

Smelly interactions: host-borne volatile organic compounds triggering behavioural responses in mosquitoes, sand flies, and ticks

Parasites & Vectors
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals emitted as products of cell metabolism, which reflects the physiological and pathological conditions of any living organisms.

Contained semi-field environments for ecological studies on transgenic African malaria vectors: benefits and constraints [PDF]

, 2002
New interventions are needed to reduce the burden of vector-borne diseases like malaria and dengué, which are among the most serious and prevalent infectious diseases worldwide. The release of genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes may offer an alternative

Update on the proteomics of major arthropod vectors of human and animal pathogens

, 2012
Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) are defined as infectious diseases of humans and animals caused by pathogenic agents such as viruses, protists, bacteria, and helminths transmitted by the bite of blood-feeding arthropod (BFA) vectors.
