INSECT VECTORS OF POLIOMYELITIS

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1943
To the Editor:— In reading your editorial on "Insect Vectors of Poliomyelitis" in the August 28 issue ofThe JournalI was struck by this statement: "The dominant species in each group were green bottleflies and blowflies, the common housefly being present in small numbers in only two of the four positive specimens." The common housefly is such an ...

Insect Vectors of Disease

New England Journal of Medicine, 1945
Conenose Bugs The conenose bugs belong to the order Hemiptera, family Reduviidae.91 They are commonly called "assassin bugs," "kissing bugs," "corsairs," "black corsairs," "wheel bugs" and "bedbug ...

Immunity to eukaryotic parasites in vector insects

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1996
Mosquitoes 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 ...

Insects as vectors of foodborne pathogenic bacteria

Terrestrial Arthropod Reviews, 2011
AbstractFood 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 ...

Baculovirus vectors for expression in insect cells

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1996
Recombinant 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 ...

Vector insects and their control.

Ciba Foundation symposium, 1997
This paper emphasizes the huge influence that vector-transmitted disease has on humans using plague, epidemic typhus and nagana as examples. The continuing need for vector control in campaigns against insect-transmitted disease is shown by reference to current control programmes mounted against Chagas' disease, onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis and ...

Lipid Metabolism in Insect Vectors of Diseases

According to the World Health Organization vector-borne diseases account for more than 17% of all infectious diseases, causing more than 700,000 deaths annually. Vectors are organisms that are able to transmit infectious pathogens between humans, or from animals to humans.

Insect Cell Cultures as Platforms for the Study of Insect Vectors’ Physiology and Vector–Phytoplasma Interactions

Insect cell cultures are a useful tool to study cell biology and physiology, metabolic pathways, pathogen infection, and their transmission by insect vectors, as well as cellular immune responses. Specifically, cell cultures of phytoplasma vectors offer a controlled environment to investigate vector-pathogen interactions at the cellular level ...
