AG129 Mice as a Comprehensive Model for the Experimental Assessment of Mosquito Vector Competence for Arboviruses

Pathogens, 2022
Arboviruses (an acronym for “arthropod-borne virus”), such as dengue, yellow fever, Zika, and Chikungunya, are important human pathogens transmitted by mosquitoes. These viruses impose a growing burden on public health.

Dietary Influences on the Longevity and Reproductive Success of Anopheles aquasalis in Laboratory Studies: Sucrose vs. Honey

Insects
Malaria continues to be a major public health challenge in tropical and subtropical regions. Anopheles aquasalis, a key laboratory model for malaria research, plays a critical role in the study of vector–parasite interactions. Although vector life traits

Mitochondrial introgression hampers the DNA barcoding of cryptic yellow fever vectors Haemagogus capricornii Lutz and Hg. janthinomys in the Atlantic Forest, Brazil

Parasites & Vectors
Background Yellow fever is a major public health concern in Brazil, transmitted in sylvatic cycles by Haemagogus and Sabethes mosquitoes. Among them, Haemagogus janthinomys and Hg.

Wolbachia detection in insects through LAMP: loop mediated isothermal amplification

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background The bacterium Wolbachia is a promising agent for the biological control of vector-borne diseases as some strains have the ability to block the transmission of key human disease-causing pathogens.

Asymmetric Evolution of Antennal Cell Types Underlies a Derived Ammonia‐Sensing Logic for Ecological Adaptation in Bactrocera dorsalis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative antennal single‐nucleus transcriptomics reveals cell‐type‐dependent transcriptomic divergence in Bactrocera dorsalis, with similar structural cells but divergent sensory neurons. This neuronal diversification is associated with a distinct ammonia‐sensing pathway, linking female attraction to bird‐dropping‐associated cues with nutritional ...

Wolbachia wMel and wAlbB strains differentially impact the vector competence of Aedes aegypti with a Brazilian genetic background for DENV-1 virus

Parasites & Vectors
Background Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia pipientis have been released as a sustainable strategy to mitigate arbovirus transmission.

DENV-1 Titer Impacts Viral Blocking in wMel Aedes aegypti with Brazilian Genetic Background

Viruses
Several countries have been using Wolbachia deployments to replace highly competent native Aedes aegypti populations with Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes with lower susceptibility to arboviruses such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya.

Avaliação de métodos de amostragem da Culicidofauna (Diptera: Culicidae) no semiárido do Brasil

Entomology Beginners, 2022
Avaliamos o desempenho de três diferentes métodos de amostragem da culicidofauna em uma área de Caatinga. Para isto, usamos três diferentes tipos de armadilhas - ovitrampa, larvitrampa e armadilha do tipo Shannon, para coletas mensais durante dois anos.
