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

Implications of mosquito metabolism on vector competence
Insect Science, 2023 Mosquito‐borne diseases (MBDs) annually kill nearly half a million people. Due to the lack of effective vaccines and drugs on most MBDs, disease prevention relies primarily on controlling mosquitoes.

Comparative vector competence of North American Lyme disease vectors [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Understanding 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 ...

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.

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 of Mosquitoes from Germany for Sindbis Virus
Viruses, 2022 Transmission of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are an emerging global health threat in the last few decades. One important arbovirus family is the Togaviridae, including the species Sindbis virus within the genus Alphavirus.

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