Antiviral systems in vector mosquitoes
Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2018Mosquito-borne viral diseases represent a major challenge to human public health. As natural vectors of arboviruses, mosquitoes can be infected by a virus, but they have evolved multiple mechanisms to tolerate constant infection and restrict viral replication via their antiviral immune system. In a state of continuous infection, a mosquito can transmit

Melanization immune responses in mosquito vectors
Trends in Parasitology, 2005The production and deposition of melanin pigments on invading pathogens and parasites represents a unique, innate immune response in the phylum Arthropoda. This immune response has started to receive considerable attention because of the potential to exploit this mechanism to control mosquito-borne diseases.

Chikungunya Virus and Its Mosquito Vectors
Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2015Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), a mosquito-borne alphavirus of increasing public health significance, has caused large epidemics in Africa and the Indian Ocean basin; now it is spreading throughout the Americas. The primary vectors of CHIKV are Aedes (Ae.) aegypti and, after the introduction of a mutation in the E1 envelope protein gene, the highly ...

Molecular Genetic Manipulation of Mosquito Vectors
Annual Review of Entomology, 1995Despite 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, 1997An 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, 2006Abstract 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

Arbovirus-mosquito interactions and vector specificity
Parasitology Today, 1992Mosquito-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, 2020Free-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, 2017The 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, 2018As 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,
