Vector species-specific association between natural Wolbachia infections and avian malaria in black fly populations [PDF]
, 2018 Thanks to the Institute of Biodiversity Animal Health and Comparative Medicine (University of Glasgow) for funding vector traps.Artificial infection of mosquitoes with the endosymbiont bacteria Wolbachia can interfere with malaria parasite development ...

The Vector Model of Competence Diagnostics
Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences, 2015 The article summarizes the results of the theoretical study of the problem of diagnostics designing that takes into account the multidimensional nature of competence. Competences aggregate inconsistent components. Therefore, in order to describe them, it is natural to apply the category of multidimensionality.

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

PLoS Computational Biology, 2023 Vector or host competence can be defined as the ability of an individual to become infected and subsequently transmit a pathogen. Assays to measure competence play a key part in the assessment of the factors affecting mosquito-borne virus transmission ...

Poor vector competence of the human flea, Pulex irritans, to transmit Yersinia pestis
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background The human flea, Pulex irritans , is widespread globally and has a long association with humans, one of its principal hosts. Its role in plague transmission is still under discussion, although its high prevalence in plague-endemic regions and ...

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 ...
