The effect of temperature on dengue virus transmission by Aedes mosquitoes
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Dengue is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. As an arbovirus disease, it is mainly transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. According to the previous studies, temperature is closely related to the survival of Aedes mosquitoes, the ...

Dehydration stress and Mayaro virus vector competence in Aedes aegypti
bioRxiv, 2023 The mosquito Aedes aegypti is a competent vector of multiple pathogens, including dengue, Zika, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Mayaro viruses. Ae. aegypti is highly invasive and is currently present in the Americas, Oceania, Asia, and Europe, but its ...

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,

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 ...

Mutualist-Provisioned Resources Impact Vector Competency [PDF]
mBio, 2019 Parasites elicit several physiological changes in their host to enhance transmission. Little is known about the functional association between parasitism and microbiota-provisioned resources typically dedicated to animal hosts and how these goods may be rerouted to optimize parasite development.

Assessing the Impact of Insecticide Resistance on Vector Competence: A Review
Insects, 2022 Simple Summary Insects transmit a wide variety of pathogens, including parasites, bacteria, and viruses, to human and economically important crops. Since pathogen transmission threatens public health and economic activities, insecticides are the main ...
