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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
European Aedes caspius mosquitoes are experimentally unable to transmit Zika virus
(BMC, 2019-07-25)
Background: Aedes caspius (Pallas, 1771) is a foodwater mosquito species widely distributed in the Western Palae‑
arctic. As an anthropophilic species, its role as an arbovirus vector may be the key ...
