Symbiotic Interactions Between Mosquitoes and Mosquito Viruses [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Mosquitoes not only transmit human and veterinary pathogens called arboviruses (arthropod-borne viruses) but also harbor mosquito-associated insect-specific viruses (mosquito viruses) that cannot infect vertebrates. In the past, studies investigating mosquito viruses mainly focused on highly pathogenic interactions that were easier to detect than those

Spatial and temporal population dynamics of male and female Aedes albopictus at a local scale in Medellín, Colombia

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Diseases transmitted by invasive Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are public health issues in the tropics and subtropics.

Aquatain® causes anti-oviposition, egg retention and oocyte melanization and triggers female death in Aedes aegypti

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background In arboviral disease systems where the virus can be transmitted from male to female vectors and from one generation to the next, targeting the female (especially when she is gravid) can help alter the persistence of the virus in nature and its

Evaluation of the effectiveness of BG-Sentinel and CDC light traps in assessing the abundance, richness, and community composition of mosquitoes in rural and natural areas

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Vector-borne diseases are a major burden to public health. Controlling mosquitoes is considered the most effective way to prevent vector-borne disease transmission.

Variable Efficacy of Extended-release Mosquito Larvicides Observed in Catch Basins in the Northeast Chicago Metropolitan Area

Environmental Health Insights, 2016
Since the mid-1990s, the North Shore Mosquito Abatement District (NSMAD) has applied extended-release formulations of mosquito larvicides to approximately 50,000 catch basins in the suburbs north of Chicago, IL, USA.

Temperature, season, and latitude influence development-related phenotypes of Philippine Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus): Implications for dengue control amidst global warming

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Dengue is endemic in the Philippines. Aedes aegypti is the primary vector. This study aimed to determine the hatching behavior and viability of Ae.

Detecting wMel Wolbachia in field-collected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes using loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background The World Mosquito Program uses Wolbachia pipientis for the biocontrol of arboviruses transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Diagnostic testing for Wolbachia in laboratory colonies and in field-caught mosquito populations has typically ...

wMel Wolbachia alters female post-mating behaviors and physiology in the dengue vector mosquito Aedes aegypti

Communications Biology, 2023
Globally invasive Aedes aegypti disseminate numerous arboviruses that impact human health. One promising method to control Ae. aegypti populations is transinfection with Wolbachia pipientis, which naturally infects ~40–52% of insects but not Ae. aegypti.

Small-Scale Trials Suggest Increasing Applications of Natular XRT and Natular T30 Larvicide Tablets May Not Improve Mosquito Reduction in Some Catch Basins

Environmental Health Insights, 2016
Stormwater catch basins are commonly treated with larvicides by mosquito control agencies to reduce local populations of mosquito species capable of transmitting West Nile virus.
