Gut symbiont-derived sphingosine modulates vector competence in Aedes mosquitoes. [PDF]
Nat CommunThe main vectors of Zika virus (ZIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) are Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus, with Ae. aegypti being more competent. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we find Ae.

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 Mediterranean Mosquitoes for Rift Valley Fever Virus: A Meta-Analysis [PDF]
Pathogens, 2022 Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic disease caused by a virus mainly transmitted by Aedes and Culex mosquitoes. Infection leads to high abortion rates and considerable mortality in domestic livestock.

Zika virus outbreak in the Pacific: Vector competence of regional vectors
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 In 2013, Zika virus (ZIKV) emerged in French Polynesia and spread through the Pacific region between 2013 and 2017. Several potential Aedes mosquitoes may have contributed to the ZIKV transmission including Aedes aegypti, the main arbovirus vector in the region, and Aedes polynesiensis, vector of lymphatic filariasis and secondary vector of dengue ...
