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

Insecticide resistance in mosquito vectors
Nature, 2003Resistance to insecticides among mosquitoes that act as vectors for malaria (Anopheles gambiae) and West Nile virus (Culex pipiens) emerged more than 25 years ago in Africa, America and Europe; this resistance is frequently due to a loss of sensitivity of the insect's acetylcholinesterase enzyme to organophosphates and carbamates1.

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

Feeding and reproduction in vector mosquitoes
Proceedings: Animal Sciences, 1987Mosquitoes depend on high fecundity to compensate for heavy immature mortality. Important factors affecting fecundity are (1) Body size, dependant on larval nutrition (2) Amount of blood ingested (3) type of blood ingested. With the development of highly sensitive techniques for determination of bloodmeals of wild mosquitoes many puzzling variations in
