Interactions between parasites and insects vectors [PDF]

open access: yesMemórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1994
This review stresses the importance of studies that will provide a basic understanding of the pathology of parasite-infected vector insects. This knowledge should be a vital component of the very focussed initiatives currently being funded in the areas of vector control.

Advancing Frontiers in Insect Vector Control

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Public Health and the Nations Health, 1950
INSECT control designed to prevent human disease has been carried on for only half a century-but this short epoch is characterized by an almost incredible range of technical, administrative, and organizational developments. It is regrettable that only a few of those believed to be important in advancing insect control as a public health practice can be

Insect vectors

open access: yes, 2001
Des maladies de toute nature sont transmises ou favorisées par les insectes. Ils sont indispensables dans le cas de maladies à agents pathogènes intraphloémiques : les phytoplasmes, certains virus, les bactéries et les trypanosomides. Les insectes peuvent jouer un rôle dans la vection ou dans le développement d'autres organismes tels que les nématodes,

The microbiota affects energy production, nitrogen excretion, and sterol metabolism in mosquito larvae

open access: yesmBio
Mosquito larvae rely on a living microbiota for normal development because the microbiota supplies essential nutrients, particularly vitamins. Beyond vitamin provision, transcriptomic data suggest that the microbiota also supports other key nutritional ...
