Are Haematophagous Insects Vectors for HTLV-I? [PDF]

open access: green, 1987
Human T-lymphotropic virus I (HTLV-I) and its associated malignancy, adult T-cell leukaemia [19, 30, 31, 37] are endemic in southern Japan [18, 26], the Caribbean Basin and neighbouring mainland America [1, 6, 10, 14, 23], and sub-Saharan Africa [5, 20, 38].

The JAK-STAT pathway promotes persistent viral infection by activating apoptosis in insect vectors

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2023
The Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway is an evolutionarily conserved signaling pathway that can regulate various biological processes.

A plant cytorhabdovirus modulates locomotor activity of insect vectors to enhance virus transmission

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Transmission of many plant viruses relies on phloem-feeding insect vectors. However, how plant viruses directly modulate insect behavior is largely unknown.

Overview of paratransgenesis as a strategy to control pathogen transmission by insect vectors

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2022
This article presents an overview of paratransgenesis as a strategy to control pathogen transmission by insect vectors. It first briefly summarises some of the disease-causing pathogens vectored by insects and emphasises the need for innovative control ...

The voltage-gated sodium channel, para, limits Anopheles coluzzii vector competence in a microbiota dependent manner

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The voltage-gated sodium channel, para, is a target of DDT and pyrethroid class insecticides. Single nucleotide mutations in para, called knockdown resistant or kdr, which contribute to resistance against DDT and pyrethroid insecticides, have been ...

Genetics and immunity of Anopheles response to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae overlap with immunity to Plasmodium

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Entomopathogenic fungi have been explored as a potential biopesticide to counteract the insecticide resistance issue in mosquitoes. However, little is known about the possibility that genetic resistance to fungal biopesticides could evolve in mosquito ...

A leafhopper saliva protein mediates horizontal transmission of viral pathogens from insect vectors into rice phloem

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2022
Numerous insects transmit viruses together with saliva to plant phloem, but the roles of saliva components remain elusive. Here, we report that calcium-binding protein (CBP), a universal insect saliva protein, is modified to benefit horizontal ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals developmental heterogeneity among Plasmodium berghei sporozoites

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
In the malaria-causing parasite’s life cycle, Plasmodium sporozoites must travel from the midgut of a mosquito to the salivary glands before they can infect a mammalian host. However, only a fraction of sporozoites complete the journey.

Determinants of Chikungunya and O’nyong-Nyong Virus Specificity for Infection of Aedes and Anopheles Mosquito Vectors

open access: yesViruses, 2023
Mosquito-borne diseases caused by viruses and parasites are responsible for more than 700 million infections each year. Anopheles and Aedes are the two major vectors for, respectively, malaria and arboviruses.
