Effect of blood source on vector competence of Culex pipiens biotypes for Usutu virus
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Infectious blood meal experiments have been frequently performed with different virus-vector combinations to assess the transmission potential of arthropod-borne (arbo)viruses. A wide variety of host blood sources have been used to deliver arboviruses 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 ...

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.

Vector competence of biting midges and mosquitoes for Shuni virus
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019 Shuni virus (SHUV) is an orthobunyavirus that belongs to the Simbu serogroup. SHUV was isolated from diverse species of domesticated animals and wildlife, and is associated with neurological disease, abortions, and congenital malformations. Recently, SHUV caused outbreaks among ruminants in Israel, representing the first incursions outside the African ...
