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.

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.

Mosquito Age Grading and Vector-Control Programmes
Trends in Parasitology, 2020An ability to characterize the age of mosquito populations could provide cost-effective and compelling entomological evidence for the potential epidemiological impacts of vector control. The average age of a mosquito population is the most important determinant of vectorial capacity and the likelihood of disease transmission.

Molecular discrimination of mosquito vectors and their pathogens
Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics, 2009Mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of pathogens that cause disease in over 400 million people each year worldwide. The capacity to transmit disease-causing pathogens can differ greatly between different species of the same genus or even populations of the same species.

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 ...

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.

Vector Competence of Australian Mosquitoes for Chikungunya Virus
Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2010Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a globally emerging arbovirus responsible for unprecedented outbreaks in the western Indian Ocean, the Indian subcontinent and Italy. To assess the receptivity of Australia to CHIKV, we exposed 10 Australian mosquito species to a 2006 strain of CHIKV isolated from a viremic traveler from Mauritius. In susceptibility trials,

Regulation of Infectivity of Plasmodium to the Mosquito Vector
1996Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the complex factors regulating the infectivity of the gametocyte to the mosquito vector and describes the patterns of parasite biology that individually advantageous to particular host parasite combinations. The chapter discusses the gametocytogenesis, including the factors that regulate the differentiation of

Vector Competence Assays for RVFV in Mosquitoes
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is the causative agent of Rift Valley fever, a mosquito-borne zoonotic febrile illness that primarily affects ruminants, camels, and humans. It is endemic in sub-Saharan Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, albeit with the potential to spread to and establish in non-endemic countries where mosquito vectors are present ...Lotty, Birnberg, Núria, Busquets
