Acoustic communication in insect disease vectors [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013
Acoustic signalling has been extensively studied in insect species, which has led to a better understanding of sexual communication, sexual selection and modes of speciation. The significance of acoustic signals for a blood-sucking insect was first reported in the XIX century by Christopher Johnston, studying the hearing organs of mosquitoes, but has ...

A Review: Wolbachia-Based Population Replacement for Mosquito Control Shares Common Points with Genetically Modified Control Approaches

Pathogens, 2020
The growing expansion of mosquito vectors has made mosquito-borne arboviral diseases a global threat to public health, and the lack of licensed vaccines and treatments highlight the urgent need for efficient mosquito vector control.

Correction to: De novo profiling of RNA viruses in Anopheles malaria vector mosquitoes from forest ecological zones in Senegal and Cambodia

BMC Genomics, 2019
Following the publication of this article [1], the authors reported that the original shading in columns 3 and 4 of Table 3, which indicated the presence or absence of viruses in each library, had been removed during typesetting.

MicroRNAs and other small RNAs in Aedes aegypti saliva and salivary glands following chikungunya virus infection

Scientific Reports, 2022
Mosquito saliva facilitates blood feeding through the anti-haemostatic, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of its proteins. However, the potential contribution of non-coding RNAs to host manipulation is still poorly understood. We analysed

De novo profiling of RNA viruses in Anopheles malaria vector mosquitoes from forest ecological zones in Senegal and Cambodia

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Mosquitoes are colonized by a large but mostly uncharacterized natural virome of RNA viruses, and the composition and distribution of the natural RNA virome may influence the biology and immunity of Anopheles malaria vector populations ...

The tripartite interactions between the mosquito, its microbiota and Plasmodium

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
The microbiota of Anopheles mosquitoes interferes with mosquito infection by Plasmodium and influences mosquito fitness, therefore affecting vectorial capacity.

Functional characterization of transcriptional enhancers in an Anopheles genetic locus controlling natural resistance to the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum

Epigenetics & Chromatin
Background Anopheles mosquitoes and the malaria parasites they transmit remain a significant global health problem. Most genomic and functional genomic studies of mosquitoes have focused on the protein-coding genome, and comparatively little is known ...

Circadian rhythms in insect disease vectors [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013
Organisms from bacteria to humans have evolved under predictable daily environmental cycles owing to the Earth's rotation. This strong selection pressure has generated endogenous circadian clocks that regulate many aspects of behaviour, physiology and metabolism, anticipating and synchronising internal time-keeping to changes in the cyclical ...

Evaluation of the Dual Impact of Nanotechnologies on Health and Environment Through Alternative Bridging Models

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how alternative invertebrate and small‐vertebrate models advance the evaluation of nanomaterials across medicine and environmental science. By bridging cellular and organismal levels, these models enable integrated assessment of toxicity, biodistribution, and therapeutic performance.
