Chemical Ecology and Management of Dengue Vectors
Annual Review of Entomology, 2023 Dengue, caused by the dengue virus, is the most widespread arboviral infectious disease of public health significance globally. This review explores the communicative function of olfactory cues that mediate host-seeking, egg-laying, plant-feeding, and mating behaviors in Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, two mosquito vectors that drive dengue virus ...

Japanese encephalitis: the vectors, ecology and potential for expansion [PDF]
Journal of Travel Medicine, 2018 Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a viral disease predominantly located in South East Asia and commonly associated with transmission between amplifying hosts, such as pigs, and the mosquito Culex tritaeniorhynchus, where human infection represents a dead end in the life cycle of the virus.

Ticks as vectors: taxonomy, biology and ecology
Revue Scientifique et Technique de l'OIE, 2015 Ticks are prominent parasites and competent vectors of pathogens that affect both humans and animals. This review outlines and illustrates the main features of the morphology of ticks of the families Ixodidae and Argasidae, and summarises the basic components of their life cycles.

Invasive mosquito vectors in Europe: from bioecology to surveillance and management.
Acta Tropica, 2023 Invasive mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) play a key role in the spread of a number of mosquito-borne diseases worldwide. Anthropogenic changes play a significant role in affecting their distribution. Invasive mosquitoes usually take advantage from biotic

Ecology of Malaria Vectors in an Endemic Area, Southeast of Iran
Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2020 Background: Malaria has long been regarded as one of the most important public health issues in Iran. Although the country is now in the elimination phase, some endemic foci of malaria are still present in the southeastern areas of the country.
