Zoonotic anxieties: The cultural politics of Nepal's quest for pandemic preparedness

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Based on fieldwork conducted in Nepal (2022–2024) and by paying attention to how local and transnational notions of epidemiological risk are deployed, this ethnography introduces the concept of “zoonotic anxieties” to make sense of the multi‐species relational ethos that contemporary global health regimes propose.

[Mosquitoes as vectors of arboviruses: an endless story].

Biologie aujourd'hui, 2018
L’émergence ou la ré-émergence récente des maladies à transmission vectorielle et plus précisément, celle associée aux arbovirus tels que la dengue, le chikungunya, le Zika ou encore la fièvre jaune ne sont pas des phénomènes nouveaux. Aujourd’hui, la mondialisation des échanges commerciaux, des déplacements des voyageurs ainsi que l’urbanisation ...

Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

NUEVO HALLAZGO DE DIPTERA, CULICIDAE EN CUBA: CULEX MELANOCONIUM OCOSSA

Medicentro, 2011
Para el Sistema de Salud Cubano, una de las prioridades es ofrecer atención a los vectores que surgen en el ecosistema y puedan ser posibles transmisores de enfermedades exóticas, por lo que se hace necesario clasificar las especies existentes, y dentro ...

Full‐length coding sequence analysis of the voltage‐gated sodium channel and acetylcholinesterase genes reveals target‐site mutations and acetylcholinesterase gene duplication in housefly (Musca domestica) populations in Japanese livestock barns

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
We simultaneously analysed insecticide resistance mutations in VGSC and AChE using NGS and hybridization probe capture in houseflies collected from livestock facilities for the first time. Resistance mutations in both VGSC and AChE were detected in most wild populations, suggesting widespread distribution of resistance genes.

A multiplex assay to detect mosquito species, bloodmeal host source and Plasmodium in malaria vectors using Nanopore amplicon sequencing

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Insectary‐reared mosquitoes were simultaneously assessed for species identification, bloodmeal source analysis and Plasmodium detection, using a single multiplexed sequencing run on the MinION sequencing platform. The method was applied to 150 insectary‐reared mosquitoes, representing nine species blood‐fed with five vertebrate hosts and 40 samples for

Conspecific cueing or cooperative feeding?—Foraging stable flies are visually attracted to conspecific flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
In two‐choice laboratory bioassays, food‐deprived and CO2‐stimulated stable flies were offered paired landing platforms that were baited or not (control) with conspecific flies. The presence of conspecifics prompted the attraction and landing of foraging stable flies.
