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.

An overview of mosquito vectors of Zika virus
Microbes and Infection, 2018 The mosquito-borne arbovirus Zika virus (ZIKV, Flavivirus, Flaviviridae), has caused an outbreak impressive by its magnitude and rapid spread. First detected in Uganda in Africa in 1947, from where it spread to Asia in the 1960s, it emerged in 2007 on the Yap Island in Micronesia and hit most islands in the Pacific region in 2013.

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.

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.

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 ...

Mosquitoes as Suitable Vectors for Alphaviruses [PDF]
Viruses, 2018 Alphaviruses are arthropod-borne viruses and are predominantly transmitted via mosquito vectors. This vector preference by alphaviruses raises the important question of the determinants that contribute to vector competence. There are several tissue barriers of the mosquito that the virus must overcome in order to establish a productive infection.

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 ...

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

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.
