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.

Vector competence of European mosquitoes for West Nile virus [PDF]
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2017 West Nile virus (WNV) is an arthropod-borne flavivirus of high medical and veterinary importance. The main vectors for WNV are mosquito species of the Culex genus that transmit WNV among birds, and occasionally to humans and horses, which are ‘dead-end ...

Vector Competence: What Has Zika Virus Taught Us?
Viruses, 2019 The unprecedented outbreak of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in the Americas from 2015 to 2017 prompted the publication of a large body of vector competence data in a relatively short period of time.

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 ...

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 ...

Geographic Partitioning of Dengue Virus Transmission Risk in Florida
Viruses, 2021 Dengue viruses (DENVs) cause the greatest public health burden globally among the arthropod-borne viruses. DENV transmission risk has also expanded from tropical to subtropical regions due to the increasing range of its principal mosquito vector, Aedes ...
