Laboratory colonization and maintenance of Anopheles atroparvus from the Ebro Delta, Spain
(BMC, 2020-08-03)
Background: Historically, Anopheles atroparvus has been considered one of the most important malaria vectors in
Europe. Since malaria was eradicated from the European continent, the interest in studying ...
Viromics on honey-baited FTA cards as a new tool for the detection of circulating viruses in mosquitoes
(MDPI, 2020-02-29)
Worldwide, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are a major burden on public and animal health. Arthropod vectors, with mosquitoes being the main contributors of global disease, transmit ...
Alteration in the Culex pipiens transcriptome reveals diverse mechanisms of the mosquito immune system implicated upon Rift Valley fever phlebovirus exposure
(Public Library of Science, 2020-12-10)
Rift Valley fever phlebovirus (RVFV) causes an emerging zoonotic disease and is mainly transmitted by Culex and Aedes mosquitoes. While Aedes aegypti-dengue virus (DENV) is the most studied model, less ...
Spatial scale influences the distribution of viral diversity in the eukaryotic virome of the mosquito Culex pipiens
(Oxford University Press, 2023-08-24)
Our knowledge of the diversity of eukaryotic viruses has recently undergone a massive expansion. This diversity could infuence host
physiology through yet unknown phenomena of potential interest to the ...
Field evaluation of an automated mosquito surveillance system which classifies Aedes and Culex mosquitoes by genus and sex
(BMC, 2024-03-01)
Background Mosquito‑borne diseases are a major concern for public and veterinary health authorities, highlighting
the importance of efective vector surveillance and control programs. Traditional ...
High sensitivity of one-step real-time reverse transcription quantitative PCR to detect low virus titers in large mosquito pools
(BMC, 2020-09-09)
Background: Mosquitoes are the deadliest animals in the world. Their ability to carry and spread diseases to humans causes millions of deaths every year. Due to the lack of efficient vaccines, the control ...
Detection of West Nile virus lineage 2 in North‐Eastern Spain (Catalonia)
(Wiley, 2018-12-01)
In September 2017, West Nile virus (WNV) lineage 2 was detected in Catalonia (Northern Spain) in northern goshawks by passive surveillance. The phylogenetic analyses showed that it was related to the ...
Culex flavivirus infection in a Culex pipiens mosquito colony and its effects on vector competence for Rift Valley fever phlebovirus
(BioMed Central, 2018-05-23)
Background
Rift Valley fever is a mosquito-borne zoonotic disease that affects domestic ruminants and humans. Culex flavivirus is an insect-specific flavivirus that naturally exists in field mosquito ...
Arbovirus surveillance: first dengue virus detection in local Aedes albopictus mosquitoes in Europe, Catalonia, Spain, 2015
(European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, 2018-11-22)
Dengue has emerged as the most important viral mosquito-borne disease globally. The current risk of dengue outbreaks in Europe appeared with the introduction of the vector Aedes albopictus mosquito in ...
Evidence of Zika virus horizontal and vertical transmission in Aedes albopictus from Spain but not infectious virus in saliva of the progeny
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-10-17)
Aedes albopictus mosquitoes have been experimentally demonstrated to be a competent vector for Zika virus (ZIKV) in different countries, but there are still some gaps related to the importance of Ae. ...
