Simulation modelling of population dynamics of mosquito vectors for rift valley Fever virus in a disease epidemic setting. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND:Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is weather dependent arboviral infection of livestock and humans. Population dynamics of mosquito vectors is associated with disease epidemics.

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 ...

Co-occurrence of viruses and mosquitoes at the vectors' optimal climate range: An underestimated risk to temperate regions? [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017 Mosquito-borne viruses have been estimated to cause over 100 million cases of human disease annually. Many methodologies have been developed to help identify areas most at risk from transmission of these viruses.

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 ...

PLoS ONE, 2020 A bite from a La Crosse virus (LACV) infected Aedes mosquito can cause La Crosse encephalitis (LACE), which is a neuro-invasive disease that disproportionately affects children under the age of 16 in Southern Appalachia.

Maximizing the Potential of Attractive Targeted Sugar Baits (ATSBs) for Integrated Vector Management
Insects, 2023 Due to the limitations of the human therapeutics and vaccines available to treat and prevent mosquito-borne diseases, the primary strategy for disease mitigation is through vector control.

Implications of mosquito metabolism on vector competence
Insect Science, 2023 AbstractMosquito‐borne diseases (MBDs) annually kill nearly half a million people. Due to the lack of effective vaccines and drugs on most MBDs, disease prevention relies primarily on controlling mosquitoes. Despite huge efforts having been put into mosquito control, eco‐friendly and sustainable mosquito‐control strategies are still lacking and ...

Ceylon Journal of Science, 2020 Mosquito-borne diseases are a major health concern in many tropical and sub-tropical countries. In the absence of specific treatment for many mosquito-borne diseases, vector control in the form of eliminating preimaginal development sites and insecticide

Genetic elimination of dengue vector mosquitoes [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 An approach based on mosquitoes carrying a conditional dominant lethal gene (release of insects carrying a dominant lethal, RIDL) is being developed to control the transmission of dengue viruses by vector population suppression. A transgenic strain, designated OX3604C, of the major dengue vector, Aedes aegypti , was

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023 Worldwide, mosquito monitoring and control programs consume large amounts of resources in the effort to minimise mosquito-borne disease incidence. On-site larval monitoring is highly effective but time consuming.
