Culex tarsalis is a competent vector species for Cache Valley virus [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Cache Valley virus (CVV) is a mosquito-borne orthobunyavirus endemic in North America. The virus is an important agricultural pathogen leading to abortion and embryonic lethality in ruminant species, especially sheep.

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

Avian malaria co-infections confound infectivity and vector competence assays of Plasmodium homopolare. [PDF]
, 2018 Currently, there are very few studies of avian malaria that investigate relationships among the host-vector-parasite triad concomitantly. In the current study, we experimentally measured the vector competence of several Culex mosquitoes for a newly ...

PLoS Pathogens, 2021 Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) require replication across a wide range of temperatures to perpetuate. While vertebrate hosts tend to maintain temperatures of approximately 37°C-40°C, arthropods are subject to ambient temperatures which can have a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes do not support replication of Zika virus [PDF]
, 2017 The rapid spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) in the Americas raised many questions about the role of Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes in transmission, in addition to the key role played by the vector Aedes aegypti.

Vector Competence for DENV-2 Among Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) Populations in China
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Aedes albopictus is a vector of over 20 arboviruses that has spread throughout the world, mainly in the second half of the twentieth century. Approximately 50–100 million people are infected with dengue virus (DENV) transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes each ...

Zika Virus Mosquito Vectors: Competence, Biology, and Vector Control [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2017 Zika virus (ZIKV) (Flaviviridae, Flavivirus) has become one of the most medically important mosquito-borne viruses because of its ability to cause microcephaly in utero and Guillain-Barré syndrome in adults. This virus emerged from its sylvatic cycle in Africa to cause an outbreak in Yap, Federated States of Micronesia in 2007, French Polynesia in 2014,
