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

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 ...
