A minimum data standard for vector competence experiments [PDF]

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

Impact of vector richness on the risk of vector‐borne disease: The role of vector competence

Ecology and Evolution
A 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 ...

Lowering vector competence in insects: a review

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology
Background Insects act as disease vectors, spreading disease-causing organisms between plants and animals. There have been studies devoted to determining ways to control these pests.

Evaluating vector competence for Yellow fever in the Caribbean

Nature Communications
International audienceThe mosquito-borne disease, Yellow fever (YF), has been largely controlled via mass delivery of an effective vaccine and mosquito control interventions.

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 ...

Implications of mosquito metabolism on vector competence

Insect Science, 2023
AbstractMosquito‐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. Despite huge efforts having been put into mosquito control, eco‐friendly and sustainable mosquito‐control strategies are still lacking and ...

Age-structured vectorial capacity reveals timing, not magnitude of within-mosquito dynamics is critical for arbovirus fitness assessment

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Transmission dynamics of arboviruses like Zika virus are often evaluated by vector competence (the proportion of infectious vectors given exposure) and the extrinsic incubation period (EIP, the time it takes for a vector to become infectious),

Estimating the magnitude and direction of altered arbovirus transmission due to viral phenotype. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Vectorial capacity is a measure of the transmission potential of a vector borne pathogen within a susceptible population. Vector competence, a component of the vectorial capacity equation, is the ability of an arthropod to transmit an infectious agent ...
