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.

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.

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.

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

The olfactory basis of orchid pollination by mosquitoes. [PDF]
, 2020 Mosquitoes are important vectors of disease and require sources of carbohydrates for reproduction and survival. Unlike host-related behaviors of mosquitoes, comparatively less is understood about the mechanisms involved in nectar-feeding decisions, or ...

Genetics of Mosquito Vector Competence [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2000 SUMMARY Mosquito-borne diseases are responsible for significant human morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Efforts to control mosquito-borne diseases have been impeded, in part, by the development of drug-resistant parasites, insecticide-resistant mosquitoes, and environmental concerns over the application of ...

Mosquito Vector Competence for Japanese Encephalitis Virus [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a zoonotic pathogen mainly found in East and Southeast Asia and transmitted by mosquitoes. The objective of this review is to summarize the knowledge on the diversity of JEV mosquito vector species. Therefore, we systematically analyzed reports of JEV found in field-caught mosquitoes as well as experimental vector ...

Culex modestus: the overlooked mosquito vector
Parasites & Vectors, 2023 AbstractCulex (Barraudius) modestus (Ficalbi 1889) are found in temperate regions across Europe, Asia, and Northern Africa. These mosquitoes thrive during the summer and prefer to breed in permanent vegetative habitats such as rice paddies and marshes.

Molecular Genetic Manipulation of Vector Mosquitoes [PDF]
Cell Host & Microbe, 2008 Genetic strategies for reducing populations of vector mosquitoes or replacing them with those that are not able to transmit pathogens benefit greatly from molecular tools that allow gene manipulation and transgenesis. Mosquito genome sequences and associated EST (expressed sequence tags) databases enable large-scale investigations to provide new ...
