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.

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.

Vector competence of Culex neavei (Diptera: Culicidae) for Usutu virus. [PDF]
, 2012 Usutu virus (USUV), a flavivirus belonging to the Japanese encephalitis serocomplex, was isolated for the first time from a Culex neavei mosquito in 1959 in South Africa. Despite multiple isolations of USUV from Cx.

Surveillance of vector-borne diseases in cattle with special emphasis on bluetongue disease in Switzerland [PDF]
, 2008 Due to previous climatic conditions in Switzerland, vector-borne diseases were not of primary importance to the Swiss Federal Veterinary Office. It has now been established that global warming has had a major impact on vector species ecology due to ...

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 ...

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.
