Lipid Interactions Between Flaviviruses and Mosquito Vectors [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Mosquito-borne flaviviruses, such as dengue (DENV), Zika (ZIKV), yellow fever (YFV), West Nile (WNV), and Japanese encephalitis (JEV) viruses, threaten a large part of the human populations.

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

An updated checklist of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) from Chandigarh, India and its surrounding area

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2023
Background & objectives: The affirmation about the prevalence of mosquito species at a particular place and time is very significant, not only to predict the danger of diseases or future outbreaks but also to control the vectors in time.

The effects of climate change and globalization on mosquito vectors: evidence from Jeju Island, South Korea on the potential for Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) influxes and survival from Vietnam rather than Japan. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Climate change affects the survival and transmission of arthropod vectors as well as the development rates of vector-borne pathogens. Increased international travel is also an important factor in the spread of vector-borne diseases (VBDs ...

Loss of West Nile virus genetic diversity during mosquito infection due to species-dependent population bottlenecks

iScience, 2023
Summary: Vector competence (VC) refers to the efficiency of pathogen transmission by vectors. Each step in the infection of a mosquito vector constitutes a barrier to transmission that may impose bottlenecks on virus populations. West Nile virus (WNV) is

Co-occurrence probabilities between mosquito vectors of West Nile and Eastern equine encephalitis viruses using Markov Random Fields (MRFcov)

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Mosquito vectors of eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) and West Nile virus (WNV) in the USA reside within broad multi-species assemblages that vary in spatial and temporal composition, relative abundances and vector competence.
