Wolbachia pipientis occurs in Aedes aegypti populations in New Mexico and Florida, USA

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The mosquitoes Aedes aegypti (L.) and Ae. albopictus Skuse are the major vectors of dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and chikungunya viruses worldwide. Wolbachia, an endosymbiotic bacterium present in many insects, is being utilized in novel vector control ...

Interacting climatic, environmental, biologic and socio‐economic drivers of the global dengue expansion

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Dengue is the most rapidly expanding mosquito‐borne viral disease worldwide. The worst year on record was 2024, with over 100 countries reporting 14.4 million cases and over 11,000 deaths. Since then, and up to August 2026, another 7.4 million cases and over 5000 deaths have been reported.

The endosymbiont Wolbachia increases insulin/IGF-like signalling in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2009
Insulin/IGF-like signalling (IIS) is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that has diverse functions in multi-cellular organisms. Mutations that reduce IIS can have pleiotropic effects on growth, development, metabolic homeostasis, fecundity, stress ...

Effects of Asaia spp. on the development, size and associated microbiomes of two mosquito species of medical importance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Addition of Asaia species to the rearing water of mosquito larvae can affect the structure of the larval microbiome, although these bacteria do not persist to the pupal stage. Asaia inoculation can increase the adult size of males of two mosquito species. The impact of Asaia inoculation on development rate and female size depended on bacterial and host

The genome of the heartworm, Dirofilaria immitis, reveals drug and vaccine targets [PDF]

, 2012
The heartworm Dirofilaria immitis is an important parasite of dogs. Transmitted by mosquitoes in warmer climatic zones, it is spreading across southern Europe and the Americas at an alarming pace.

Bacterial composition of Polygenis (Polygenis) bohlsi bohlsi (Wagner, 1901) (Siphonaptera: Rhopalopsyllidae) associated with Thrichomys fosteri (Rodentia: Echimyidae) in the Brazilian Pantanal wetland

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
This study characterizes the bacteriome of Polygenis (Polygenis) bohlsi bohlsi fleas collected from free‐living Thrichomys fosteri in the Pantanal region of Brazil. The bacterial microbiota associated with male fleas exhibited greater phylogenetic diversity, and the overall community structure differed between the flea sexes.

Wolbachia-based biocontrol for dengue reduction using dynamic optimization approach [PDF]

, 2020
Aedes aegypti females mosquitoes are the principal transmitters of dengue and other arboviral infections. In recent years, it was disclosed that, when deliberately infected with Wolbachia symbiont, this mosquito species loses its vectorial competence and

Uncovering Wolbachia diversity upon artificial host transfer.

PLoS ONE, 2013
The common endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria influence arthropod hosts in multiple ways. They are mostly recognized for their manipulations of host reproduction, yet, more recent studies demonstrate that Wolbachia also impact host behavior, metabolic ...

Effectiveness of different blood anticoagulants for artificial feeding of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the laboratory Eficiência de diferentes anticoagulantes para alimentação sanguínea artificial de mosquitos Aedes aegypti em laboratório

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Aedes aegypti females were allowed to feed, through an artificial feeder, on rabbit blood pre‐collected and defibrinated or treated with anticoagulants heparin or sodium citrate. The efficiency in producing a high percentage of engorged females and great fecundity and egg viability rates was compared among blood treatments and with females feeding ...
