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

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 ...

The making of a dangerous vector: factors shaping the vector competence of Aedes mosquitoes [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Aedes mosquitoes are among the world’s most significant arbovirus vectors, transmitting pathogens such as dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses. However, key species like Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus exhibit notable differences

Evaluating vector competence for Yellow fever in the Caribbean [PDF]

Nature Communications
Abstract The mosquito-borne disease, Yellow fever (YF), has been largely controlled via mass delivery of an effective vaccine and mosquito control interventions. However, there are warning signs that YF is re-emerging in both Sub-Saharan Africa and South America.
