Vector-Borne Diseases [PDF]

, 2019
Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) are illnesses caused by parasites, viruses or bacteria that are transmitted by a vector such as mosquitoes, ticks, sandflies, triatomine bugs, tsetse flies, fleas, black flies, aquatic snails and lice. In this chapter, we aim to show how climate change impacts VBDs and what role biodiversity (and its loss) plays for VBDs ...

Identification of tickborne pathogens in cattle and sheep ticks from Kyrgyzstan using next-generation sequencing

Parasites & Vectors
Background Various tickborne diseases and pathogens in livestock have been reported in Kyrgyzstan; however, comprehensive molecular analyses from ticks and their tickborne pathogen diversity in the region are lacking.

On the Dynamics of Dengue Virus type 2 with Residence Times and Vertical Transmission

, 2016
A two-patch mathematical model of Dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) that accounts for vectors' vertical transmission and between patches human dispersal is introduced. Dispersal is modeled via a Lagrangian approach.

Integrating vector control across diseases [PDF]

BMC Medicine, 2015
Vector-borne diseases cause a significant proportion of the overall burden of disease across the globe, accounting for over 10 % of the burden of infectious diseases. Despite the availability of effective interventions for many of these diseases, a lack of resources prevents their effective control.

Transcriptomics and disease vector control [PDF]

BMC Biology, 2010
Next-generation sequencing can be used to compare transcriptomes under different conditions. A study in BMC Genomics applies this approach to investigating the effects of exposure to a range of xenobiotics on changes in gene expression in the larvae of Aedes aegypti, the mosquito vector of dengue fever.

Identifying Current and Missing Knowledge in the Control of Pyrethroid-Resistant Triatoma Infestans, Vector of Chagas Disease [PDF]

, 2017
Triatomines are blood-sucking bugs that occur mainly in Latin America. They are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease.

First report on the molecular phylogenetics and population genetics of Aedes aegypti in Iran

Parasites & Vectors
Background Aedes aegypti, the primary vector of various human arboviral diseases, is a significant public health threat. Aedes aegypti was detected in Iran in 2018, in Hormozgan province, but comprehensive information regarding its genetic diversity and ...

Mathematical Modelling of Mosquito Dispersal in a Heterogeneous Environment. [PDF]

, 2012
Mosquito dispersal is a key behavioural factor that affects the persistence and resurgence of several vector-borne diseases. Spatial heterogeneity of mosquito resources, such as hosts and breeding sites, affects mosquito dispersal behaviour and ...
