Infravec2 guidelines for the design and operation of containment level 2 and 3 insectaries in Europe
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022-08-22)
With the current expansion of vector-based research and an increasing number of facilities rearing arthropod vectors and infecting them with pathogens, common measures for containment of arthropods as ...
Microbiota Variation Across Life Stages of European Field-Caught Anopheles atroparvus and During Laboratory Colonization: New Insights for Malaria Research
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-24)
The potential use of bacteria for developing novel vector control approaches has awakened new interests in the study of the microbiota associated with vector species. To set a baseline for future malaria ...
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 ...
West Nile virus and other mosquito-borne viruses present in Eastern Europe
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-07-06)
Eastern Europe (EE) has been severely affected by mosquito-borne viruses (moboviruses). In
this review, we summarize the epidemiology of moboviruses, with particular attention to
West Nile virus (WNV). ...
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 ...
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. ...
