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.

Vector Competence of Selected North American Culex and Coquillettidia Mosquitoes for West Nile Virus

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2001
To control West Nile virus (WNV), it is necessary to know which mosquitoes are able to transmit this virus. Therefore, we evaluated the WNV vector potential of several North American mosquito species. Culex restuans and Cx.

Role of gut inhabitants on vectorial capacity of mosquitoes

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2018
Mosquito-borne diseases are spreading at an alarming rate. Globally millions of deaths occur due to the diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, next to AIDS and tuberculosis.

Using the human blood index to investigate host biting plasticity: a systematic review and meta-regression of the three major African malaria vectors

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background The proportion of mosquito blood-meals that are of human origin, referred to as the ‘human blood index’ or HBI, is a key determinant of malaria transmission.

Nationwide larval mosquito sampling in Cambodian households: Vector species in anthropogenic breeding sites.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Vector control remains a key strategy in reducing mosquito-borne disease transmission. Understanding mosquito species distribution, diversity, and breeding habitat ecology is crucial for effective surveillance and to define targeted vector control ...

No detectable fitness cost of infection by cell-fusing agent virus in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes

Royal Society Open Science
Aedes mosquitoes are well-known vectors of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses). Mosquitoes are more frequently infected with insect-specific viruses (ISVs) that cannot infect vertebrates.

[Mosquitoes as vectors of arboviruses: an endless story].

Biologie aujourd'hui, 2018
L’émergence ou la ré-émergence récente des maladies à transmission vectorielle et plus précisément, celle associée aux arbovirus tels que la dengue, le chikungunya, le Zika ou encore la fièvre jaune ne sont pas des phénomènes nouveaux. Aujourd’hui, la mondialisation des échanges commerciaux, des déplacements des voyageurs ainsi que l’urbanisation ...

Mosquito Larval Composition, Abundance, Temperature and Physicochemical Properties of Larval Container Habitats in Ekosodin Community, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management
Conventionally, Aedes and Culex mosquito vectors of yellow fever and filariasis, respectively, are known to utilize containers as preferred breeding sites. There are exceptions of Anopheles breeding in such habitats in some regions.
