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 ...

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.

A minimum data standard for vector competence experiments
Scientific Data, 2022 The growing threat of vector-borne diseases, highlighted by recent epidemics, has prompted increased focus on the fundamental biology of vector-virus interactions. To this end, experiments are often the most reliable way to measure vector competence (the
