Plasmodium Actin‐Like Proteins 3 and 5a Are Required for Subsequent Steps of Mosquito Infection

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Actin‐like proteins (Alps) are highly conserved, apicomplexan‐specific members of the actin superfamily. Using reverse genetics, we have identified that Alp3 and Alp5a are required at separate steps of transmission of the malaria parasite to its mosquito host.

Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

Full‐length coding sequence analysis of the voltage‐gated sodium channel and acetylcholinesterase genes reveals target‐site mutations and acetylcholinesterase gene duplication in housefly (Musca domestica) populations in Japanese livestock barns

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
We simultaneously analysed insecticide resistance mutations in VGSC and AChE using NGS and hybridization probe capture in houseflies collected from livestock facilities for the first time. Resistance mutations in both VGSC and AChE were detected in most wild populations, suggesting widespread distribution of resistance genes.

High prevalence of a host‐associated Anaplasma lineage in wild coatis (Nasua nasua) from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Anaplasma sp. DNA was detected in 47.9% of free‐ranging coatis (Nasua nasua) sampled in Iguaçu National Park, southern Brazil. Molecular analyses revealed a genetically distinct Anaplasma lineage infecting coatis, differing from Anaplasma strains detected in associated tick populations.

Indoor residual spraying of distinct insecticide formulations in a household‐scale micro‐mosaic format: Feasibility and effectiveness for malaria vector control in rural Zambia

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Densities of all Anopheles species were approximately comparable across all IRS regimes. No differences observed between treatment regimes regarding species composition of the Anopheles funestus group or An. gambiae complex. This operational pilot demonstrates the practical feasibility of IRS micro‐mosaics, despite the inherent increase in deployment ...

Come together: Data sharing to support one health responses to vector‐borne disease threats

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A One Health framework integrating diverse data across human, animal and environmental sectors is essential for effective surveillance and response is vital for responding to vector‐borne disease risks. Communities adopting global data standards, depositing data in shared repositories, and responsible data use can significantly improve VBD data ...

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.

Temperature and precipitation differently influence entomological indices based on larval or adult sampling

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Larval indices, especially house infestation index (HI) and breteau index (BI), were significantly associated with temperature and precipitation, indicating that warmer and wetter conditions increase Aedes aegypti breeding‐site positivity. Adult indices, trap positivity index (TPI) and adult density index (ADI) showed no significant association with ...

Tick‐borne diseases in subtropical dairy farming: The role of calf rearing strategies in antibody and antigen prevalence Enfermedades Transmitidas por Garrapatas en la Ganadería Lechera subtropical: El Papel de las Estrategias de Crianza de Terneros en la Prevalencia de Anticuerpos y Antígenos

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Tropical farmers try to adapt calf‐rearing systems to temperate dairy industry standards. Calves in tick‐infested areas develop stronger immunity to TBD under controlled exposure to ticks. Early tick exposure promotes sustainable management, balancing tick infestation and developing TBD immunity.
