Vectors and vector-borne diseases of horses

Veterinary Research Communications, 2012
Most diseases of horses with zoonotic importance are transmitted by arthropods. The vectors belong to two very distantly related groups, the chelicerate Ixodidae (Acari = ticks) and the hexapod Diptera (true flies). Almost all relevant species are predestined for transmitting pathogens by their blood-sucking habits.

The biological control of disease vectors

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2012
Vector-borne diseases are common in nature and can have a large impact on humans, livestock and crops. Biological control of vectors using natural enemies or competitors can reduce vector density and hence disease transmission. However, the indirect interactions inherent in host-vector disease systems make it difficult to use traditional pest control ...

The Vector of the Lyme Disease Spirochete

New England Journal of Medicine, 1992
The deer ticks (Ixodes dammini) that transmit the Lyme disease spirochete (Borrelia burgdorferi) in the northeastern United States are members of a morphologically similar group of "black-legged ticks" that includes the wood tick (I. ricinus) of Europe and the taiga tick (I. persulcatus) of Asia.

Models for Vectors and Vector-Borne Diseases

2006
The development of models for species' distributions is briefly reviewed, concentrating on logistic regression and discriminant analytical methods. Improvements in each type of modelling approach have led to increasingly accurate model predictions. This review addresses several key issues that now confront those wishing to choose the "right" sort of ...

Vector-borne diseases

1990
The quest for better health and a happier society has always been one of the prime objectives of man. This has persuaded almost all the advanced countries of the world to conquer most of the metabolic, CNS-CVS, viral, microbial and parasitic diseases.

Values for victims and vectors of disease

Journal of Medical Ethics, 2021
John and Curran have convincingly shown that Scanlonian contractualism is a valuable resource for evaluating pandemic response policies, and that we should reject cost–benefit analysis in favour of a contractualist framework. However, they fail to consider the part of contractualism that Scanlon constructed precisely to deal with the question of when ...

Genetic technologies for disease vectors

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2015
The first genetic technologies for insect vectors of disease were introduced 20 years ago. As of today there are 12 classes of genetic technologies used as functional genomic tools for insect vectors of important diseases. Although the applications of genetic technologies in insect disease vectors have been conducted primarily in mosquitoes, other ...

Vectors for the treatment of autoimmune disease

Gene Therapy, 2003
Gene therapy has been applied in a variety of experimental models of autoimmunity with some success. In this article, we outline recent developments in gene therapy vectors, discuss advantages and disadvantages of each, and highlight their recent applications in autoimmune models.
