The effects of climate change and globalization on mosquito vectors: evidence from Jeju Island, South Korea on the potential for Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) influxes and survival from Vietnam rather than Japan. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Climate change affects the survival and transmission of arthropod vectors as well as the development rates of vector-borne pathogens. Increased international travel is also an important factor in the spread of vector-borne diseases (VBDs ...

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 ...

Loss of West Nile virus genetic diversity during mosquito infection due to species-dependent population bottlenecks

iScience, 2023
Summary: Vector competence (VC) refers to the efficiency of pathogen transmission by vectors. Each step in the infection of a mosquito vector constitutes a barrier to transmission that may impose bottlenecks on virus populations. West Nile virus (WNV) is

Co-occurrence probabilities between mosquito vectors of West Nile and Eastern equine encephalitis viruses using Markov Random Fields (MRFcov)

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Mosquito vectors of eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) and West Nile virus (WNV) in the USA reside within broad multi-species assemblages that vary in spatial and temporal composition, relative abundances and vector competence.

Integrating statistical and mechanistic approaches with biotic and environmental variables improves model predictions of the impact of climate and land-use changes on future mosquito-vector abundance, diversity and distributions in Australia

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Changes to Australia’s climate and land-use patterns could result in expanded spatial and temporal distributions of endemic mosquito vectors including Aedes and Culex species that transmit medically important arboviruses.

A study on the larvicidal and adulticidal potential of Cladostepus spongiosus macroalgae and green-fabricated silver nanoparticles against mosquito vectors

Green Processing and Synthesis, 2023
Mosquito vectors in the present universe cause a major problem due to the transmission of pathogens with high morbidity. The present research aimed to explore the larvicidal and adulticidal toxicity of the Cladostepus spongiosus extract and its ...

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.

Japanese Encephalitis Virus Interaction with Mosquitoes: A Review of Vector Competence, Vector Capacity and Mosquito Immunity [PDF]

Pathogens, 2022
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic flavivirus and a major cause of human viral encephalitis in Asia. We provide an overview of the knowledge on vector competence, vector capacity, and immunity of mosquitoes in relation to JEV. JEV has so far been detected in more than 30 mosquito species.

A study of the distribution and abundance of the adult malaria vector in western Kenya highlands

International Journal of Health Geographics, 2008
Background A sharp rise in the malaria mortality rate has been observed recently in western Kenya. Malaria is transmitted by mosquito vectors. Malaria control strategies can be more successful if the distribution and abundance of mosquito vectors is ...
