Molecular Genetic Manipulation of Mosquito Vectors

Annual Review of Entomology, 1995
Despite their central role in disease transmission, relatively little is known of the molecular biology of arthropod vectors. Modern molecular approaches will undoubtedly provide considerable information about gene regulation and expression in vectors and consequently a much better understanding of the biology and molecular biology of vectors.

Mosquitoes as vectors of Setaria labiatopapillosa

International Journal for Parasitology, 1997
An infected bovine-baited trap was utilised in summer 1994 to catch possible intermediate hosts of S. labiatopapillosa in northeastern Italy. Collections were made for 21 nights from 8.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m. every 2 h and, after 12 September, every 30 min. Among the 16,159 mosquitoes sampled, 11,052 were freshly blood-fed. Most of the unfed females and a

Insecticide resistance in vector mosquitoes in China

Pest Management Science, 2006
Abstract Because of their special behaviour, physiology and close relationship with humans, mosquitoes act as one of the most important vectors of human diseases, such as filariasis, Japanese encephalitis, dengue and malaria. The major vector mosquitoes are members of the Culex, Aedes

Insecticide resistance in mosquito vectors

Nature, 2003
Resistance to insecticides among mosquitoes that act as vectors for malaria (Anopheles gambiae) and West Nile virus (Culex pipiens) emerged more than 25 years ago in Africa, America and Europe; this resistance is frequently due to a loss of sensitivity of the insect's acetylcholinesterase enzyme to organophosphates and carbamates1.

Arbovirus-mosquito interactions and vector specificity

Parasitology Today, 1992
Mosquito-borne arboviruses cause important and expanding disease problems. In this article, Colin Leake reviews the increasing knowledge of the complex interaction of arboviruses with their mosquito vectors and mosquito cells, in vitro, and considers the factors influencing vector specificity and vector competence.

Cattle-induced eutrophication favours disease-vector mosquitoes

Science of The Total Environment, 2020
Free-range cattle rearing in arid landscapes contributes profoundly to ecosystem degradation. Cattle dung nutrification in aquatic habitats potentially shapes species diversity and abundance due to resource availability. These nutrient-enriched environments may increase oviposition by mosquitoes and influence proliferation of disease vectors.

Mosquito vectors of Zika virus

Entomologia Generalis, 2017
The recent Zika virus outbreaks have been recognized as "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" by WHO. In this review, we summarized current knowledge about Zika virus vector competence in mosquitoes. Aedes Africanus was the first species where Zika virus was isolated.

Mosquito Immunobiology: The Intersection of Vector Health and Vector Competence

Annual Review of Entomology, 2018
As holometabolous insects that occupy distinct aquatic and terrestrial environments in larval and adult stages and utilize hematophagy for nutrient acquisition, mosquitoes are subjected to a wide variety of symbiotic interactions. Indeed, mosquitoes play host to endosymbiotic, entomopathogenic, and mosquito-borne organisms, including protozoa, viruses,

Mosquito vectors, malaria and other vector-borne diseases

2023
Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) pose a major threat to the health of societies around the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), VBDs account for around 17% of the estimated global burden of communicable diseases (before the COVID-19 pandemics) and claim >700.000 lives every year and huge public health and economic costs.
