Impact of vector richness on the risk of vector-borne disease: The role of vector competence. [PDF]
Ecol EvolA 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 ...

Comparative vector competence of North American Lyme disease vectors [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 AbstractBackgroundUnderstanding the drivers of Lyme disease incidence at broad spatial scales is critical for predicting and mitigating human disease risk. Previous studies have identified vector phenology and behavior, host community composition, and landscape features as drivers of variable Lyme disease risk.

Genetics of Mosquito Vector Competence [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2000 SUMMARY Mosquito-borne diseases are responsible for significant human morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Efforts to control mosquito-borne diseases have been impeded, in part, by the development of drug-resistant parasites, insecticide-resistant mosquitoes, and environmental concerns over the application of ...

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 ...
