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.

Diapausing adult female mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in overwintering sites in Estonia in 2023–2024: Species composition and variation

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
First comprehensive survey of overwintering mosquitoes in Estonia, documenting 5286 female mosquitoes collected from 18 subterranean overwintering sites. The Culex pipiens/Culex torrentium group dominated overwintering assemblages, representing 96.6% of all analysed specimens. Molecular analyses revealed a higher proportion of Cx.

From Anonymous to Public Enemy: How Does a Mosquito Become a Feared Arbovirus Vector?

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
The past few decades have seen the emergence of several worldwide arbovirus epidemics (chikungunya, Zika), the expansion or recrudescence of historical arboviruses (dengue, yellow fever), and the modification of the distribution area of major vector ...

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 ...

The role of water temperature and food availability in shaping immunity and body condition of Odonata: Impacts of deprivation on larval development

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Larvae of Aeshna cyanea were reared at 17 or 21°C and fed either once or three times per week. Body condition and immune parameters were measured. Elevated temperature reduced haemocyte density. Low food availability reduced phenoloxidase (PO) activity, protein and fat content and growth.

Agricultural Fungicide Mancozeb in Leaf Litter Enhances Survival and Growth of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 11, Page 1139-1150, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Mancozeb is one of the most widely used agricultural fungicides, exhibiting strong efficacy against a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi. However, its widespread application comes at the cost of environmental contamination. Here, we show the effects of Inga vera leaf litter contamination with Mancozeb on life‐history traits of Aedes ...

Spatial and seasonal patterns of potential orchard pollinators across a Lake Ontario gradient

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 658-663, November 2026.
Potential pollinator captures varied by season, trap height and distance from Lake Ontario, indicating that flower visitors were not evenly distributed during apple bloom. Several common bee genera, including Lasioglossum, Agapostemon, Andrena and Apis, overlapped more closely with apple bloom than the dominant retained fly genus, Toxomerus.
