Geographic Partitioning of Dengue Virus Transmission Risk in Florida

Viruses, 2021
Dengue viruses (DENVs) cause the greatest public health burden globally among the arthropod-borne viruses. DENV transmission risk has also expanded from tropical to subtropical regions due to the increasing range of its principal mosquito vector, Aedes ...

Zika Virus Mosquito Vectors: Competence, Biology, and Vector Control [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2017
Zika virus (ZIKV) (Flaviviridae, Flavivirus) has become one of the most medically important mosquito-borne viruses because of its ability to cause microcephaly in utero and Guillain-Barré syndrome in adults. This virus emerged from its sylvatic cycle in Africa to cause an outbreak in Yap, Federated States of Micronesia in 2007, French Polynesia in 2014,

Enrichment of phenotype among biological forms of Anopheles stephensi Liston through establishment of isofemale lines

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Vector management programs rely on knowledge of the biology and genetic make-up of mosquitoes. Anopheles stephensi is a major invasive urban malaria vector, distributed throughout the Indian subcontinent and Middle East, and has recently been ...

Ingestion of spinosad-containing toxic sugar bait alters Aedes albopictus vector competence and vectorial capacity for dengue virus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Dengue virus (DENV) is a highly prevalent vector-borne virus that causes life-threatening illnesses to humans worldwide. The development of a tool to control vector populations has the potential to reduce the burden of DENV.

The making of a dangerous vector: factors shaping the vector competence of <i>Aedes</i> mosquitoes. [PDF]

Front Cell Infect Microbiol
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

Vector competence of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes for filarial nematodes is affected by age and nutrient limitation [PDF]

, 2015
Mosquitoes are one of the most important vectors of human disease. The ability of mosquitoes to transmit disease is dependent on the age structure of the population, as mosquitoes must survive long enough for the parasites to complete their development ...

Quantifying the efficacy of genetic shifting in control of mosquito‐borne diseases

Evolutionary Applications, 2019
Many of the world's most prevalent diseases are transmitted by animal vectors such as dengue transmitted by mosquitoes. To reduce these vector‐borne diseases, a promising approach is “genetic shifting”: selective breeding of the vectors to be more ...

Vector Competence of Aedes caspius and Ae. albopictus Mosquitoes for Zika Virus, Spain [PDF]

, 2019
We assessed the vector competence of Aedes caspius and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes in Spain for the transmission of Zika virus. Whereas Ae. albopictus mosquitoes were a competent vector, Ae. caspius mosquitoes were unable to transmit Zika virus.

The Insect Microbiome Modulates Vector Competence for Arboviruses [PDF]

Viruses, 2014
Diseases caused by arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), such as Dengue, West Nile, and Chikungunya, constitute a major global health burden and are increasing in incidence and geographic range. The natural microbiota of insect vectors influences various aspects of host biology, such as nutrition, reproduction, metabolism, and immunity, and recent ...
