Genome-wide RNAi screen identifies broadly-acting host factors that inhibit arbovirus infection [PDF]

, 2014
Vector-borne viruses are an important class of emerging and re-emerging pathogens; thus, an improved understanding of the cellular factors that modulate infection in their respective vertebrate and insect hosts may aid control efforts.

Perspectives of vector management in the control and elimination of vector-borne zoonoses

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The complex transmission profiles of vector-borne zoonoses (VZB) and vector-borne infections with animal reservoirs (VBIAR) complicate efforts to break the transmission circuit of these infections.

Culex tarsalis is a competent vector species for Cache Valley virus [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Cache Valley virus (CVV) is a mosquito-borne orthobunyavirus endemic in North America. The virus is an important agricultural pathogen leading to abortion and embryonic lethality in ruminant species, especially sheep.

Ecological and evolutionary perspectives on tick-borne pathogen co-infections

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2021
Tick-borne pathogen co-infections are common in nature. Co-infecting pathogens interact with each other and the tick microbiome, which influences individual pathogen fitness, and ultimately shapes virulence, infectivity, and transmission. In this review,

Ten years since the last Chikungunya virus outbreak in Italy. History repeats itself [PDF]

, 2017
The prevalence of Arbovirus (arthropod-borne virus) infections is increasing worldwide. Recently, new clusters of autochthonous cases have been reported in countries with temperate climates where the competent vector is present.

Performance of the Trioplex real-time RT-PCR assay for detection of Zika, dengue, and chikungunya viruses

Nature Communications, 2018
The Trioplex real-time RT-PCR assay was developed for detection of Zika virus infections in areas with dengue and chikungunya transmission. Here, Santiago et al.

Survey of vector-borne agents in feral cats and first report of Babesia gibsoni in cats on St Kitts, West Indies [PDF]

, 2017
Background: As there is little data on vector-borne diseases of cats in the Caribbean region and even around the world, we tested feral cats from St Kitts by PCR to detect infections with Babesia, Ehrlichia and spotted fever group Rickettsia (SFGR) and
