An Evolutionary Perspective on Vector-Borne Diseases [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Several aspects of the biology of the three players in a vector-borne disease that affect their evolutionary interactions are outlined. A model of the origin of a human-human cycle of vector-borne diseases is presented emphasizing the narrowing of the niche experienced by the pathogen and vector.

Multiple Blood Meals Boost Mosquitoes' Disease Transmission Potential [PDF]

, 2021
When a mosquito bites a human or other animal to feed, it is called taking a bloodmeal. Humans can become infected with mosquito-borne viruses when they are bitten by an infected mosquito.

Evidence for infection but not transmission of Zika virus by Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) from Spain

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background A number of mosquito-borne viruses such as dengue virus (DENV), Usutu virus (USUV), West Nile virus (WNV) are autochthonously transmitted in Europe and six invasive mosquito species have been detected in this temperate region.

Seven challenges for modelling indirect transmission : vector-borne diseases, macroparasites and neglected tropical diseases [PDF]

, 2014
Many of the challenges which face modellers of directly transmitted pathogens also arise when modelling the epidemiology of pathogens with indirect transmission – whether through environmental stages, vectors, intermediate hosts or multiple hosts.

Geographic variation in the distribution of Anaplasma phagocytophilum variants in host-seeking Ixodes scapularis nymphs and adults in the eastern United States elucidated using next generation sequencing

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Human anaplasmosis cases, caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum, are increasing in the United States. This trend is explained, in part, by expansion in the geographic range of the primary vector, Ixodes scapularis. Multiple variants of A.

How effective is integrated vector management against malaria and lymphatic filariasis where the diseases are transmitted by the same vector? [PDF]

, 2014
The opportunity to integrate vector management across multiple vector-borne diseases is particularly plausible for malaria and lymphatic filariasis (LF) control where both diseases are transmitted by the same vector.
