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 ...

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 ...
