Transferrin in the mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae), up-regulated upon infection and development of the filarial parasite, Wuchereria bancrofti (Cobbold) (Spirurida: Onchocercidae)

Parasitology Research, 2007
Transferrin is a defence protein known to be up-regulated upon infection of parasites/pathogens in Aedes aegypti mosquito. However, no information is available on its up-regulation in Culex quinquefasciatus, the vector of bancroftian filarial parasite. In the present study, enhancement of transferrin in C.

Expression of defensin, cecropin, and transferrin in Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) infected with Wuchereria bancrofti (Spirurida: Onchocercidae), and the abnormal development of nematodes in the mosquito

Experimental Parasitology, 2008
The temporal expression of defensin, cecropin and transferrin was assessed in Aedes aegypti naturally refractory to Wuchereria bancrofti upon infection with this worm, in parallel to analysis of filarial development in the insect. Compared to controls, transcription of defensin and cecropin was higher in infected mosquitoes as soon as 2h post infection

Up-regulation of lipophorin (Lp) and lipophorin receptor (LpR) gene in the mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae), infected with the filarial parasite, Wuchereria bancrofti (Spirurida: Onchocercidae)

Parasitology Research, 2010
In mosquitoes, including Culex quinquefasciatus, immune molecules are known to be upregulated or produced de novo upon exposure to parasites or pathogens. These molecules are regulatory in nature acting against parasite or pathogen infection and development.

Variation in the sex ratio of Rhabdochona fortunatowi (Spirurida: Rhabdochonidae) in Capoeta capoeta gracilis (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae), relative to levels of infection, host size and temperature

Journal of Helminthology, 2011
AbstractIn the present study, 81 specimens of Capoeta capoeta gracilis (Keyserling, 1861) were collected from the Shiroud River, the Caspian drainage basin, Iran in June and October 2007. The fish were examined for infection with the nematode Rhabdochona fortunatowi (Dinnik, 1933).

Size of Blood Meals of Aedes albopictus and Culex tritaeniorhynchus (Diptera: Culicidae) Feeding on an Unrestrained Dog Infected with Dirofilaria immitis (Spirurida: Filariidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1989
Blood meal volume was determined for two species of mosquitoes, Aedes albopictus (Skuse) and Culex tritaeniorhynchus Giles, recently demonstrated to be natural vectors of canine heartworm in Japan. When fed on unrestrained dogs, volumes were from 1 nl to 6 microliters in both species, but percentages of engorged mosquitoes were 45.2-64.3% for Ae ...

Prevalence of Dirofilaria immitis (Spirurida: Onchocercidae) infection in Aedes, Culex, and Culiseta mosquitoes from north San Joaquin Valley, CA.

Journal of medical entomology, 2014
Canine heartworm is one of the most serious infections primarily affecting domestic dogs but will also infect cats and wild canids. To evaluate the potential of mosquitoes as vectors of dog heartworm, Dirofilaria immitis (Leidy) in San Joaquin County, CA, we collected mosquitoes in 2011 and analyzed for infection with heartworm by using polymerase ...
