A two-species stage-structured model for West Nile virus transmission [PDF]
, 2017 We develop a host–vector model of West Nile virus (WNV) transmission that incorporates multiple avian host species as well as host stage-structure (juvenile and adult stages), allowing for both species-specific and stage-specific biting rates of vectors ...

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 ...

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).

Viral determinants and vector competence of Zika Virus transmission [PDF]
, 2018 Zika virus (ZIKV) has emerged as a new global health threat. Since its first discovery in Zika forest in Uganda, this virus has been isolated from several mosquito species, including Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus.
