Impact of bauxite mining on mosquito communities (Diptera: Culicidae) and pathogen transmission risks in the eastern Amazon

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Bauxite mining in the Amazon alters mosquito communities, favouring anthropophilic and generalist vectors while reducing species diversity and the variety of blood meal sources. Molecular analyses identified humans, tapirs and deer as the primary blood meal sources.

Effects of Asaia spp. on the development, size and associated microbiomes of two mosquito species of medical importance

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Addition of Asaia species to the rearing water of mosquito larvae can affect the structure of the larval microbiome, although these bacteria do not persist to the pupal stage. Asaia inoculation can increase the adult size of males of two mosquito species. The impact of Asaia inoculation on development rate and female size depended on bacterial and host

Relationships between meteorological factors and mosquito vector density in an Urban District of Shanghai, China (2018–2024)

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The effect of temperature on oviposition activity is not uniform across time. Heat stress exerts delayed population‐level impacts. Moderate temperatures favour population development while both low and high temperatures impose constraints. The delayed negative effect of warm temperatures, peaking at 2–3 weeks rather than immediately.

Effectiveness of different blood anticoagulants for artificial feeding of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the laboratory Eficiência de diferentes anticoagulantes para alimentação sanguínea artificial de mosquitos Aedes aegypti em laboratório

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Aedes aegypti females were allowed to feed, through an artificial feeder, on rabbit blood pre‐collected and defibrinated or treated with anticoagulants heparin or sodium citrate. The efficiency in producing a high percentage of engorged females and great fecundity and egg viability rates was compared among blood treatments and with females feeding ...

Abundance and species diversity of mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae) in endemic areas for arboviruses in the Eastern Amazon, Brazil Abundância e diversidade de espécies de mosquitos (Diptera, Culicidae) em áreas endêmicas para arboviroses na Amazônia Oriental, Brasil

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A total of 3671 adult specimens of Culicidae were identified, comprising 35 species distributed across 11 genera. Species of the genera Anopheles, Aedes, Psorophora, Haemagogus, Culex, Coquillettidia and Mansonia were identified in both localities and are considered of medical and epidemiological importance in the transmission of arboviruses ...
