Risk of yellow fever virus transmission in the Asia-Pacific region
Nature Communications, 2020 Yellow fever is absent from the Asia/Pacific region, despite presence of the mosquito vector. Here, the authors demonstrate that mosquitoes collected from field sites across the region are capable of transmitting yellow fever virus, indicating that ...

A Systematic Review of the Natural Virome of Anopheles Mosquitoes
Viruses, 2018 Anopheles mosquitoes are vectors of human malaria, but they also harbor viruses, collectively termed the virome. The Anopheles virome is relatively poorly studied, and the number and function of viruses are unknown. Only the o’nyong-nyong arbovirus (ONNV)

Taxonomic review of the genus Nycteola Hübner (Lepidoptera, Nolidae) from Korea including potential invasive pests [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023 The genus Nycteola Hübner has been mainly distributed in the Old World and usually feeds on Fagaceae and Salicaceae, but Myrtaceae and Juglandaceae have also been reported. In Korea, the number of this genus has been changed from four to three after 2007,

Gene copy number and function of the APL1 immune factor changed during Anopheles evolution
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background The recent reference genome assembly and annotation of the Asian malaria vector Anopheles stephensi detected only one gene encoding the leucine-rich repeat immune factor APL1, while in the Anopheles gambiae and sibling Anopheles coluzzii, APL1

Immune responsiveness in vector insects [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997 Insects have been particularly successful in evolution, and current estimates are that they represent three-quarters of all extant animal species. With the marked exception of the seas, insects occupy nearly all ecological niches on earth and hence are confronted to innumerable potential pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoan and helminth ...

Microbial Pre-exposure and Vectorial Competence of Anopheles Mosquitoes
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017 Anopheles female mosquitoes can transmit Plasmodium, the malaria parasite. During their aquatic life, wild Anopheles mosquito larvae are exposed to a huge diversity of microbes present in their breeding sites.

The Role of Temperature in Shaping Mosquito-Borne Viruses Transmission
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Mosquito-borne diseases having the greatest impact on human health are typically prevalent in the tropical belt of the world. However, these diseases are conquering temperate regions, raising the question of the role of temperature on their dynamics and ...

Impact of temperature on dengue and chikungunya transmission by the mosquito Aedes albopictus
Scientific Reports, 2022 The mosquito Aedes albopictus is an invasive species first detected in Europe in Albania in 1979, and now established in 28 European countries. Temperature is a limiting factor in mosquito activities and in the transmission of associated arboviruses ...

Biological rhythms and vector insects [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013 The adjustment of all species, animals and plants, to the Earth's cyclic environments is ensured by their temporal organisation. The relationships between parasites, vectors and hosts rely greatly upon the synchronisation of their biological rhythms, especially circadian rhythms. In this short note, parasitic infections by Protozoa and by microfilariae
