Chemical ecology and olfaction in arthropod vectors of diseases
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2015Hematophagous 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 ...

Emerging parasites and vectors in a rapidly changing world: from ecology to management.
Acta Tropica, 2022Global changes have influenced our societies in several ways with both positive (e.g., technology, transportation, and food security), and negative impacts (e.g., mental health problems, spread of diseases, and pandemics).

Vector Ecology of Equine Piroplasmosis
Annual Review of Entomology, 2015Equine 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 ...

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
2013Vector-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
1987Research 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 ...

Micro(nano)plastics: Unignorable vectors for organisms.
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019Micro(nano)plastics, as emerging contaminants, have attracted worldwide attention. Nowadays, the environmental distribution, sources, and analysis methods and technologies of micro(nano)plastics have been well studied and recognized.

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.
