Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Mauritania: a review of their biodiversity, distribution and medical importance

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Although mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are important disease vectors, information on their biodiversity in Mauritania is scarce and very dispersed in the literature.

Change Your Diet: How CO2, Plant Phenology and Genotype Alter Grapevine Quality and Affect Performance and Larval Transcriptome of an Insect Herbivore

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Herbivorous insects need to cope with changing host plant biochemistry caused by abiotic and biotic impacts, to meet their dietary requirements. Larvae of the multivoltine European grapevine moth Lobesia botrana, one of the main insect pests in viticulture, feed on both flowers and berries.

Landscape structure affects distribution of potential disease vectors (Diptera: Culicidae)

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
BackgroundVector-pathogen dynamics are controlled by fluctuations of potential vector communities, such as the Culicidae. Assessment of mosquito community diversity and, in particular, identification of environmental parameters shaping these communities ...

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 ...

Host‐feeding preferences of Culex pipiens and its potential significance for flavivirus transmission in the Camargue, France

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
We identified Culex pipiens bloodmeals at the species level in natural, agricultural and peri‐urban habitats and calculated host preferences based on forage ratios. This analysis showed Passeriformes, and in particular Columba livia, Passer montanus and Turdus sp., to be the preferred Cx. pipiens hosts.

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

Pathogens, 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 ...

Comparative attraction of Anopheles quadriannulatus and Anopheles arabiensis to humans estimated by comparing their relative abundance in samples of mosquito larvae and adults collected across an ecologically heterogeneous landscape in southern Tanzania Utafiti wa kulinganisha mvuto wa mbu aina ya Anopheles arabiensis na Anopheles quadriannulatus kwa binadamu katika mandhari yenye mazingira mbalimbali kusini mwa Tanzania

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Light and barrier traps near human activity selectively captured more Anopheles arabiensis, indicating a strong attraction to humans and explicit bias in adult sampling methods. Traps placed in open glades away from humans captured species proportions similar to larval samples, suggesting reduced sampling bias in those settings. Visits by entomological
