Dissecting vectorial capacity for mosquito-borne viruses. [PDF]

Curr Opin Virol, 2015
The inter-relationship between mosquitoes and the viruses they transmit is complex. While previously understood barriers to infection and transmission remain valid, additional factors have been uncovered that suggest an 'arms race' between mosquito and virus.

Vectorial Capacity of Culiseta melanura (Diptera: Culicidae) Changes Seasonally and Is Related to Epizootic Transmission of Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus in Central Florida

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Vectorial capacity is an equation that integrates the major aspects of vector biology to predict the number of new mosquito-borne disease infections. Developed for studying transmission of malaria, vectorial capacity is rarely applied to zoonotic vector ...

Drug Resistance in Filarial Parasites Does Not Affect Mosquito Vectorial Capacity. [PDF]

Pathogens, 2020
Parasite drug resistance presents a major obstacle to controlling and eliminating vector-borne diseases affecting humans and animals. While vector-borne disease dynamics are affected by factors related to parasite, vertebrate host and vector, research on drug resistance in filarial parasites has primarily focused on the parasite and vertebrate host ...

Belgian Anopheles plumbeus Mosquitoes Are Competent for Japanese Encephalitis Virus and Readily Feed on Pigs, Suggesting a High Vectorial Capacity [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2023
Anopheles plumbeus, a day-active mosquito known to feed aggressively on humans, was reported as a nuisance species near an abandoned pigsty in Belgium.

Oil palm expansion increases the vectorial capacity of dengue vectors in Malaysian Borneo. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2022
Changes in land-use and the associated shifts in environmental conditions can have large effects on the transmission and emergence of mosquito-borne disease. Mosquito-borne disease are particularly sensitive to these changes because mosquito growth, reproduction, survival and susceptibility to infection are all thermally sensitive ...

Advances in the Study of the Tick Cattle Microbiota and the Influence on Vectorial Capacity [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
The information from the tick cattle microbiota suggests that the microbial populations may modulate a successful infection process of the tick-borne pathogens. Therefore, there is a need to know the microbial population and their interactions.

Role of gut inhabitants on vectorial capacity of mosquitoes

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2018
Mosquito-borne diseases are spreading at an alarming rate. Globally millions of deaths occur due to the diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, next to AIDS and tuberculosis.

Vector bionomics and vectorial capacity as emergent properties of mosquito behaviors and ecology. [PDF]

PLoS Comput Biol, 2020
AbstractMosquitoes are important vectors for pathogens of humans and other vertebrate animals. Some aspects of adult mosquito behavior and mosquito ecology play an important role in determining the capacity of vector populations to transmit pathogens. Here, we re-examine factors affecting the transmission of pathogens by mosquitoes using a new approach.

Genomics of urban adaptation and exaptation in mosquitoes and consequences for vectorial capacity. [PDF]

Curr Opin Insect Sci
As urbanization accelerates around the world, mosquitoes that are capable of surviving and thriving in urban habitats increasingly spread mosquito-borne diseases. Across the >3,500 known species of mosquitoes, only a few rapidly adapted to the novel (on an evolutionary timescale) urban environments.

Mosquito biology. Evolution of sexual traits influencing vectorial capacity in anopheline mosquitoes. [PDF]

Science, 2015
Mating plugs promote malaria parasites Males of some of the malaria-transmitting mosquitoes “plug” females after copulation to stop interloping males from mating. The mating plug also delivers a steroid hormone into the female uterus. This hormone pulse promotes egg production and stimulates egg laying.
