Mosquito Vector Competence for Japanese Encephalitis Virus [PDF]

Viruses, 2021
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a zoonotic pathogen mainly found in East and Southeast Asia and transmitted by mosquitoes. The objective of this review is to summarize the knowledge on the diversity of JEV mosquito vector species.

Impact of vector richness on the risk of vector‐borne disease: The role of vector competence [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
A central goal of disease ecology is to identify the factors that drive the spread of infectious diseases. Changes in vector richness can have complex effects on disease risk, but little is known about the role of vector competence in the relationship ...

Inheritance genetics of the trait vector competence in Frankliniella occidentalis (Western flower thrips) in the transmission of Tomato spotted wilt virus [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2016
The complexity of tospovirus–vector–host plant interaction is linked to a range of factors influencing vector's efficacy in virus transmission, leading to high variability in the transmission efficiency within vector populations.

Contrasting vector competence of three main East African Anopheles malaria vector mosquitoes for Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]

Scientific Reports
There are three Anopheles mosquito species in East Africa that are responsible for the majority of malaria transmission, posing a significant public health concern. Understanding the vector competence of different mosquito species is crucial for targeted

The effect of temperature on dengue virus transmission by Aedes mosquitoes

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Dengue is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. As an arbovirus disease, it is mainly transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. According to the previous studies, temperature is closely related to the survival of Aedes mosquitoes, the ...

Host competence, interspecific competition and vector preference interact to determine the vector-borne infection ecology

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Understanding how ecological interactions affect vector-borne disease dynamics is crucial in the context of rapid biodiversity loss and increased emerging vector-borne diseases.

Age-structured vectorial capacity reveals timing, not magnitude of within-mosquito dynamics is critical for arbovirus fitness assessment

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Transmission dynamics of arboviruses like Zika virus are often evaluated by vector competence (the proportion of infectious vectors given exposure) and the extrinsic incubation period (EIP, the time it takes for a vector to become infectious),

Estimating the magnitude and direction of altered arbovirus transmission due to viral phenotype. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Vectorial capacity is a measure of the transmission potential of a vector borne pathogen within a susceptible population. Vector competence, a component of the vectorial capacity equation, is the ability of an arthropod to transmit an infectious agent ...

Enrichment of phenotype among biological forms of Anopheles stephensi Liston through establishment of isofemale lines

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Vector management programs rely on knowledge of the biology and genetic make-up of mosquitoes. Anopheles stephensi is a major invasive urban malaria vector, distributed throughout the Indian subcontinent and Middle East, and has recently been ...
