Mayaro virus, a potential threat for Europe: vector competence of autochthonous vector species. [PDF]

open access: yesParasit Vectors
Abstract Background Mayaro virus (MAYV) is an emerging alphavirus, primarily transmitted by the mosquito Haemagogus janthinomys in Central and South America. However, recent studies have shown that Aedesaegypti, Aedesalbopictus and various Anopheles mosquitoes can also transmit the virus under laboratory conditions. MAYV

Impact of insecticide resistance on malaria vector competence: a literature review

open access: yesMalaria Journal, 2023
Since its first report in Anopheles mosquitoes in 1950s, insecticide resistance has spread very fast to most sub-Saharan African malaria-endemic countries, where it is predicted to seriously jeopardize the success of vector control efforts, leading to ...

Intrinsic factors driving mosquito vector competence and viral evolution: a review

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of numerous viruses of global health significance. The term “vector competence” describes the intrinsic ability of an arthropod vector to transmit an infectious agent.

Vector Competence of Northern European Culex pipiens Biotype pipiens and Culex torrentium to West Nile Virus and Sindbis Virus

open access: yesViruses, 2023
The West Nile Virus (WNV) and Sindbis virus (SINV) are avian-hosted mosquito-borne zoonotic viruses that co-circulate in some geographical areas and share vector species such as Culex pipiens and Culex torrentium.

Vector Competence of Aedes albopictus for Yellow Fever Virus: Risk of Reemergence of Urban Yellow Fever in Brazil

open access: yesViruses, 2023
The risk of the emergence and reemergence of zoonoses is high in regions that are under the strong influence of anthropogenic actions, as they contribute to the risk of vector disease transmission. Yellow fever (YF) is among the main pathogenic arboviral

Role of the Microbiome in Aedes spp. Vector Competence: What Do We Know?

open access: yesViruses, 2023
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are the vectors of important arboviruses: dengue fever, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever. Female mosquitoes acquire arboviruses by feeding on the infected host blood, thus being able to transmit it to their offspring.

Genetics of Mosquito Vector Competence [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology 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 ...

The mosquito Aedes aegypti requires a gut microbiota for normal fecundity, longevity and vector competence

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
A study of the mosquito Aedes aegypti indicates normal adult longevity, reproduction and vector competence to transmit dengue virus depends on having a gut microbiota that can provision B vitamins.
