Aedes albopictus is a competent vector of Zika virus: A meta-analysis.
PLoS ONE, 2019 BACKGROUND:Much work has been done in recent years to determine the vector competence of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) for Zika virus (ZIKV). If competent, Ae.

Vector competence of Florida mosquitoes for chikungunya virus [PDF]
Journal of Vector Ecology, 2010 Chikungunya virus (CHIKV, family Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus) has re-emerged and caused human epidemics in Europe, Africa, Asia, and India in recent years (Bessaud et al. 2006, Powers and Logue 2007, Peyrefitte et al. 2008, Leo et al. 2009). The debilitating disease caused by CHIKV results in fever, skin rash, and arthritis-like pain in small ...

Arthropods Under Pressure: Stress Responses and Immunity at the Pathogen-Vector Interface
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Understanding what influences the ability of some arthropods to harbor and transmit pathogens may be key for controlling the spread of vector-borne diseases.

Replication-competent herpes simplex vectors: design and applications [PDF]
Gene Therapy, 2005 Replication-competent vectors are derived from attenuated viruses whose genes, that are nonessential for replication in cultured cells in vitro, are either mutated or deleted. The removal of one or more nonessential genes may reduce pathogenicity without requiring a cell line to complement growth.

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Ticks harbor and transmit many different pathogens. While some species are competent vectors of a single pathogen, mono-competent vectors (MCV), other species are proven to be competent vectors of several pathogens, pluri-competent vectors (PCV).

Chikungunya virus vector competency of Brazilian and Florida mosquito vectors
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 Chikungunya virus is a vector-borne alphavirus transmitted by the bites of infected female Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus. In Brazil between 2014 and 2016 almost 320 thousand autochthonous human cases were reported and in Florida numerous imported CHIKV viremic cases (> 3,800) demonstrate the potential high risk to establishment of local transmission ...

COMPARATIVE GENOMICS OF VECTOR AND NON-VECTOR INSECTS: UNCOVERING MOLECULAR DETERMINANTS OF VECTOR COMPETENCE [PDF]
Acta Scientifica MalaysiaVector competence is the inherent capacity of an insect to transmit diseases to plants and other organisms. It’s a complex feature influenced by several factors such as their physiology, microbiology, environment and some genetic factors.

Zika virus outbreak in the Pacific: Vector competence of regional vectors
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 In 2013, Zika virus (ZIKV) emerged in French Polynesia and spread through the Pacific region between 2013 and 2017. Several potential Aedes mosquitoes may have contributed to the ZIKV transmission including Aedes aegypti, the main arbovirus vector in the region, and Aedes polynesiensis, vector of lymphatic filariasis and secondary vector of dengue ...

Salud Pública de México, 2020 Objective. To gain a better understanding of the Zika virus (ZIKV) vector transmission in Mexico, we determined the vector competence of a local population of Ae. aegypti (Acapulco, Guerrero) for a strain of ZIKV isolated from a Mexican febrile patient.
