Ťahyňa virus—A widespread, but neglected mosquito‐borne virus in Europe

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 70, Issue 5, Page 371-382, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Ťahyňa virus (TAHV) is an orthobunyavirus and was the first arbovirus isolated from mosquitoes in Europe and is associated with floodplain areas as a characteristic biotope, hares as reservoir hosts and the mammal‐feeding mosquitoes Aedes vexans as the main vector.

Classifying the unknown: Insect identification with deep hierarchical Bayesian learning

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1515-1530, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Classifying insect species involves a tedious process of identifying distinctive morphological insect characters by taxonomic experts. Machine learning can harness the power of computers to potentially create an accurate and efficient method for performing this task at scale, given that its analytical processing can be more sensitive to subtle

Theme and variation in the evolution of insect sex determination

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 340, Issue 2, Page 162-181, March 2023., 2023
Graphical abstract Sex determination and dimorphic somatic differentiation are common in insects, such as the milkweed bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus) shown here. Variation in the functions and structure of genes implicated in insect sex determination is not uniformly distributed.

A targeted amplicon sequencing panel to simultaneously identify mosquito species and Plasmodium presence across the entire Anopheles genus

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 1, Page 28-44, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Anopheles is a diverse genus of mosquitoes comprising over 500 described species, including all known human malaria vectors. While a limited number of key vector species have been studied in detail, the goal of malaria elimination calls for surveillance of all potential vector species. Here, we develop a multilocus amplicon sequencing approach

A DNA barcode reference library of Portuguese mosquitoes

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 926-936, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Mosquitoes are important biological vectors of pathogens and species identification in all life stages is the first step for effective monitoring and control of mosquito‐borne diseases. Molecular methods for species identification have been developed over the last years to overcome the limitations of the taxonomic identification based on ...

An inventory of human night-biting mosquitoes and their bionomics in Sumba, Indonesia.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
Mosquitoes are important vectors that transmit pathogens to human and other vertebrates. Each mosquito species has specific ecological requirements and bionomic traits that impact human exposure to mosquito bites, and hence disease transmission and ...
