The fitness of African malaria vectors in the presence and limitation of host behaviour [PDF]

, 2012
<p>Background Host responses are important sources of selection upon the host species range of ectoparasites and phytophagous insects. However little is known about the role of host responses in defining the host species range of malaria vectors.

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)

Functional processing and secretion of Chikungunya virus E1 and E2 glycoproteins in insect cells [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne, arthrogenic Alphavirus that causes large epidemics in Africa, South-East Asia and India. Recently, CHIKV has been transmitted to humans in Southern Europe by invading and now established Asian ...

Insect Vector Transmission Assays [PDF]

, 2012
Phytoplasmas are transmitted in a persistent propagative manner by phloem-feeding vectors belonging to the order Hemiptera, suborder Homoptera. Following acquisition from the infected source plant, there is a latent period before the vector can transmit, so transmission assays consist of three basic steps: acquisition, latency, and inoculation.

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 ...

Leishmania chitinase facilitates colonization of sand fly vectors and enhances transmission to mice [PDF]

, 2008
Chitinases of trypanosomatid parasites have been proposed to fulfil various roles in their blood-feeding arthropod vectors but so far none have been directly tested using a molecular approach.

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.
