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 ...
Limited risk of Zika virus transmission by five Aedes albopictus populations from Spain
(BMC, 2019-03-29)
Background: Aedes albopictus, the Asian tiger mosquito, is an exotic invasive species in Europe. It has substantial
public health relevance due to its potential role in transmitting several human ...
Native and invasive bird interactions increase the spread of Newcastle disease in urban environments
(Springer, 2023-12-11)
Due to their large population sizes, synanthropic birds, including native and invasive species, can transmit pathogens to other vertebrates, and even humans. In particular, Newcastle disease virus (NDV) ...
A novel optical sensor system for the automatic classification of mosquitoes by genus and sex with high levels of accuracy
(BMC, 2022-06-06)
Background: Every year, more than 700,000 people die from vector-borne diseases, mainly transmitted by mosqui‑
toes. Vector surveillance plays a major role in the control of these diseases and requires ...
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 ...
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). ...
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 ...
