Immunization by replication-competent controlled herpesvirus vectors [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2018 ABSTRACTReplication-competent controlled virus vectors were derived from virulent HSV-1 wildtype strain 17syn+ by placing one or two replication-essential genes under the stringent control of a gene switch that is co-activated by heat and an antiprogestin. Upon activation of the gene switch, the vectors replicate in infected cells with an efficacy that

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 ...

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 ...

Pathogens, 2022 Arboviruses (an acronym for “arthropod-borne virus”), such as dengue, yellow fever, Zika, and Chikungunya, are important human pathogens transmitted by mosquitoes. These viruses impose a growing burden on public health.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022 The globalization of mosquito-borne arboviral diseases has placed more than half of the human population at risk. Understanding arbovirus ecology, including the role individual mosquito species play in virus transmission cycles, is critical for limiting ...

Exploring the Mosquito–Arbovirus Network: A Survey of Vector Competence Experiments
bioRxiv, 2022 Arboviruses receive heightened research attention during major outbreaks, or when they cause unusual or severe clinical disease, but are otherwise under-characterized.

Vector Competence of Mosquitoes from Germany for Sindbis Virus
Viruses, 2022 Transmission of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are an emerging global health threat in the last few decades. One important arbovirus family is the Togaviridae, including the species Sindbis virus within the genus Alphavirus.

Impact of deltamethrin-resistance in Aedes albopictus on its fitness cost and vector competence
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021 Background Aedes albopictus is one of the most invasive species in the world as well as the important vector for mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever, chikungunya fever and zika virus disease. Chemical control of mosquitoes is an effective method

Microbiome influences on insect host vector competence [PDF]
Trends in Parasitology, 2011 Insect symbioses lack the complexity and diversity of those associated with higher eukaryotic hosts. Symbiotic microbiomes are beneficial to their insect hosts in many ways, including dietary supplementation, tolerance to environmental perturbations and maintenance and/or enhancement of host immune system homeostasis.

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 ...
