The alarming spread of Japanese encephalitis: A growing public health concern

Open Veterinary Journal
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a zoonotic infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes. JE is caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a member of the flavivirus genus.

Quantitative reverse transcription PCR assay to detect a genetic marker of pyrethroid resistance in Culex mosquitoes.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Pyrethroid insecticides are widely used to control mosquitoes that transmit pathogens such as West Nile virus (WNV) to people. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the knockdown resistance locus (kdr) of the voltage gated sodium channel (Vgsc) gene ...

Carbon dioxide baited trap catches do not correlate with human landing collections of Anopheles aquasalis in Suriname [PDF]

, 2011
Three types of carbon dioxide-baited traps, i.e., the Centers for Disease Control Miniature Light Trap without light, the BioGents (BG) Sentinel Mosquito Trap (BG-Sentinel) and the Mosquito Magnet® Liberty Plus were compared with human landing ...

Molecular characterization and genetic divergence of seven Culex mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) species using Mt COI gene from Odisha State, India

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2022
Background Culex mosquitoes are involved in the transmission of arboviral diseases worldwide. Bio-ecology and identification of mosquitoes are of paramount importance to develop species-specific vector control strategies.

Comparative Field Evaluation of Combinations of Long-Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets and Indoor Residual Spraying, Relative to Either Method Alone, for Malaria Prevention in an Area where the main Vector is Anopheles Arabiensis. [PDF]

, 2013
Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are commonly used together in the same households to improve malaria control despite inconsistent evidence on whether such combinations actually offer better protection than nets ...

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Titin Is Present in the Elastic Tethers That Connect Separating Anaphase Chromosomes in Crane‐Fly Spermatocytes

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elastic tethers connect telomeres of separating chromosomes in anaphase of animal cells. Immunofluorescence staining of titin in crane‐fly spermatocytes, using 4 different antibodies, shows that the giant elastic protein titin seems to be a component of mitotic tethers: titin “strands” extend between separating chromosomes, connecting their ...

The Incompetence of Mosquitoes—Can Zika Virus Be Adapted To Infect Culex tarsalis Cells?

mSphere, 2023
The molecular evolutionary mechanisms underpinning virus-host interactions are increasingly recognized as key drivers of virus emergence, host specificity, and the likelihood that viruses can undergo a host shift that alters epidemiology and transmission

Aromatic plants, nest bacterial diversity, and nestling condition in Corsican blue tits

Oikos, EarlyView.
According to the ‘nest protection hypothesis', some passerines incorporate fresh aromatic plants into their nests which reduce pathogens that can negatively affect nestlings. We experimentally evaluated the effect of five aromatic plant species on the nest bacterial microbiota of Corsican blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus.
