Mosquito Oviposition Behavior and Vector Control [PDF]

Insects, 2016
The burden of gene transfer from one mosquito generation to the next falls on the female and her eggs. The selection of an oviposition site that guarantees egg and larval survival is a critical step in the reproductive process.

Mosquito Vectors (Diptera: Culicidae) and Mosquito-Borne Diseases in North Africa. [PDF]

Insects, 2022
Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are of significant public health importance because of their ability to transmit major diseases to humans and animals, and are considered as the world’s most deadly arthropods. In recent decades, climate change and globalization have promoted mosquito-borne diseases’ (MBDs) geographic expansion to new areas, such as ...

Spatiotemporal analysis of mosquito-borne infections and mosquito vectors in mainland Portugal [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background The incidence of mosquito-borne infections has increased worldwide. Mainland Portugal’s characteristics might favour the (re)emergence of mosquito-borne diseases.

Mosquito vectors of arboviruses in French Polynesia

New Microbes and New Infections, 2019
The circulation of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) throughout the Pacific is no exception in French Polynesia (FP). We review here the mosquito vectors involved or potentially involved in the transmission of arboviruses in FP.

Wolbachia and Asaia Distribution among Different Mosquito Vectors Is Affected by Tissue Localization and Host Species [PDF]

Microorganisms
Microbial communities play an important role in the fitness of mosquito hosts. However, the factors shaping microbial communities in wild populations, with regard to interactions among microbial species, are still largely unknown.

Transgenic refractory Aedes aegypti lines are resistant to multiple serotypes of dengue virus

Scientific Reports, 2021
The areas where dengue virus (DENV) is endemic have expanded rapidly, driven in part by the global spread of Aedes species, which act as disease vectors.

The virome of vector mosquitoes

Current Opinion in Virology, 2021
Mosquitoes are the major vectors for arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) of medical importance. Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus are the most prolific and widespread mosquito vectors being responsible for global transmission of dengue, Zika and Chikungunya viruses.

Robust network stability of mosquitoes and human pathogens of medical importance

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background The exact number of mosquito species relevant to human health is unknown, posing challenges in understanding the scope and breadth of vector–pathogen relationships, and how resilient mosquito vector–pathogen networks are to targeted ...

Dataset of vector mosquito images

Data in Brief, 2022
Mosquitoes pose substantial threat to public health resulting in million number of deaths wordlwide every year. They act as the vectors responsible for diseases such as Dengue, Yellow fever,Chikungunya, Zika etc. The harmful mosquito species are contained in the genera Aedes, Anopheles and Culex. Automated species identification of vectors is essential

Anopheles midgut epithelium evades human complement activity by capturing factor H from the blood meal. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Hematophagous vectors strictly require ingesting blood from their hosts to complete their life cycles. Exposure of the alimentary canal of these vectors to the host immune effectors necessitates efficient counteractive measures by hematophagous vectors ...
