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 ...

The Insect Microbiome Modulates Vector Competence for Arboviruses [PDF]
Viruses, 2014 Diseases caused by arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), such as Dengue, West Nile, and Chikungunya, constitute a major global health burden and are increasing in incidence and geographic range. The natural microbiota of insect vectors influences various aspects of host biology, such as nutrition, reproduction, metabolism, and immunity, and recent ...

Parasites & Vectors, 2012 Background Temperature is known to induce changes in mosquito physiology, development, ecology, and in some species, vector competence for arboviruses. Since colonized mosquitoes are reared under laboratory conditions that can be significantly different ...

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 ...

Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Dengue virus (DENV) is a mosquito-borne arbovirus transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, but is not endemic in all areas where this vector is found. For example, the relatively sparse distribution of cases in West Africa is generally attributed to the ...

Mosquitoes as Suitable Vectors for Alphaviruses
Viruses, 2018 Alphaviruses are arthropod-borne viruses and are predominantly transmitted via mosquito vectors. This vector preference by alphaviruses raises the important question of the determinants that contribute to vector competence.

Aedes albopictus is a competent vector of Zika virus: A meta-analysis.
PLoS ONE, 2019 BACKGROUND:Much work has been done in recent years to determine the vector competence of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) for Zika virus (ZIKV). If competent, Ae.
