Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

Morin hydrate reduces survival and fertility, delays development and weakens lipid reserves in Aedes aegypti

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Morin hydrate promoted mortality and reduced the rate of pupation and egg laying in Aedes aegypti larvae that survive treatment. Morin hydrate reduces the levels of triacylglycerol, the main lipid reserve in A. aegypti larvae. The expression of proteins involved in lipogenesis and lipolysis was downregulated and upregulated, respectively, in larvae ...

Understanding the Wolbachia-mediated inhibition of arboviruses in mosquitoes: progress and challenges [PDF]

, 2014
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a considerable threat to human and animal health, yet effective control measures have proven difficult to implement, and novel means of controlling their replication in arthropod vectors, such as mosquitoes, are

A century of assessment: A systematic review of biothreat risk assessments

Risk Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract Throughout the past century, assessments of the risks and benefits posed by high‐consequence biological agents have guided US decision‐making on weapons research, countermeasure development, and security policy. However, the dispersed nature of these biothreat risk assessments has presented various difficulties, such as duplicative effort ...

A Metapopulation Model for Chikungunya Including Populations Mobility on a Large-Scale Network

, 2012
In this work we study the influence of populations mobility on the spread of a vector-borne disease. We focus on the chikungunya epidemic event that occurred in 2005-2006 on the R\'eunion Island, Indian Ocean, France, and validate our models with real ...
