Transmission of Grabloviruses by Insect Vectors
Among the three viruses of the genus Grablovirus in the plant virus family Geminiviridae, insect vector transmission is documented only for grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV), for which Spissistilus festinus (Hemiptera: Membracidae), the three-cornered alfalfa hopper, is identified as a vector.

Invasions by Insect Vectors of Human Disease
Annual Review of Entomology, 2002▪ Abstract Nonindigenous vectors that arrive, establish, and spread in new areas have fomented throughout recorded history epidemics of human diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, typhus, and plague. Although some vagile vectors, such as adults of black flies, biting midges, and tsetse flies, have dispersed into new habitats by flight or wind, human-

Insect pests and insect‐vectored diseases of palms
Australian Journal of Entomology, 2009AbstractPalm production faces serious challenges ranging from diseases to damage by insect pests, all of which may reduce productivity by as much as 30%. A number of disorders of unknown aetiology but associated with insects are now recognised. Management practices that ensure the sustainability of palm production systems require a sound understanding ...

Lipid metabolism in insect disease vectors
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2018More than a third of the world population is at constant risk of contracting some insect-transmitted disease, such as Dengue fever, Zika virus disease, malaria, Chagas' disease, African trypanosomiasis, and others. Independent of the life cycle of the pathogen causing the disease, the insect vector hematophagous habit is a common and crucial trait for ...

Immunity to eukaryotic parasites in vector insects
Current Opinion in Immunology, 1996Mosquitoes and blackflies have been the focus of recent efforts to elucidate factors influencing the susceptibility of vector insects to metazoan and protozoan parasites of medical significance. Vector species exhibit variation in cellular and humoral immune responses, as highlighted by studies of melanotic encapsulation and components of the ...

Baculovirus vectors for expression in insect cells
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1996Recombinant baculoviruses now represent a mature technology in which vector development, particularly for the control of expression level, has reached a plateau. However, other aspects of expression, such as the production of multiple proteins, improved product purification or maximizing protein processing, remain areas for novel vector and host cell ...

Insects as vectors of foodborne pathogenic bacteria
Terrestrial Arthropod Reviews, 2011AbstractFood safety is an important consideration worldwide. To maintain and improve our current knowledge of foodborne disease outbreaks, we must understand some of the more imminent issues related to food safety. A variety of agents are responsible for transmitting the estimated 76 million cases of illnesses caused by foodborne pathogens every year ...
