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 ...

Vector Competence of Mediterranean Mosquitoes for Rift Valley Fever Virus: A Meta-Analysis
Pathogens, 2022 Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic disease caused by a virus mainly transmitted by Aedes and Culex mosquitoes. Infection leads to high abortion rates and considerable mortality in domestic livestock.

Aedes aegypti vector competence studies: A review
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2018 Aedes aegypti is the primary transmitter of the four viruses that have had the greatest impact on human health, the viruses causing yellow fever, dengue fever, chikungunya, and Zika fever. Because this mosquito is easy to rear in the laboratory and these viruses grow in laboratory tissue culture cells, many studies have been performed testing the ...

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

Vector competence of British Culicoides species for Bluetongue virus serotype 8 [PDF]
, 2009 The proportion of infected vectors which are able to transmit an arbovirus to a susceptible host has a significant impact on the epidemic potential of such a virus. Assessing vector competence is therefore crucial to evaluate accurately the risk posed by

Comparative susceptibility of mosquito populations in North Queensland, Australia to oral infection with dengue virus. [PDF]
, 2014 Dengue is the most prevalent arthropod-borne virus, with at least 40% of the world's population at risk of infection each year. In Australia, dengue is not endemic, but viremic travelers trigger outbreaks involving hundreds of cases.
