Vector Ecology of Equine Piroplasmosis

Annual Review of Entomology, 2015
Equine piroplasmosis is a disease of Equidae, including horses, donkeys, mules, and zebras, caused by either of two protozoan parasites, Theileria equi or Babesia caballi. These parasites are biologically transmitted between hosts via tick vectors, and although they have inherent differences they are categorized together because they cause similar ...

Ecology and Vector Control

Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, 1978
Abstract Since the discovery that diseases can be transmitted by vectors, intermediate hosts and animal reservoirs of human pathogens, their control has played a key role in the prevention and control of such diseases. There is no indication that this trend will change in the foreseeable future.

Ecology of parasite-vector interactions

2013
Vector-borne diseases continue to be one of the most important determinants affecting human and animal health. Large numbers of people suffer from diseases like malaria, dengue, filariasis and leishmaniasis, especially in the tropics. Whereas these diseases were eradicated from the temperate climate zones, in recent years the rising incidence of ...

Ecology of Arboviruses and Their Vectors in Australia

1987
Research on the vectors of arboviruses in Australia (Fig. 1.1) has been hampered by the vastness (7,686,855 km2) of the continent in relation to its relatively sparse human population, currently about 16 million. In relation to the vectors of veterinary importance, the phrase “Australia rideson the sheep’s back” implies national dependence on the ...

Molecular Ecology of Vectors

2008
Molecular ecology is a recently developed discipline in biology. During the midtwentieth century, ecology and molecular biology occupied almost opposite positions in biological studies. Molecular biology is the study of organisms at the molecular level mainly for DNA, RNA and proteins.

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.

Chemical ecology and olfaction in arthropod vectors of diseases

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2015
Hematophagous arthropods (ticks and insects, collectively hereafter referred to as vectors) transmit various life threatening diseases resulting in over one million human deaths annually. Exploiting vertebrates for blood demanded extensive sensory and behavioral adaptations that are apparent across the evolutionary range of vector species, from ...
