Gene editing in Aedes aegypti
Aedes aegypti (Ae. aegypti) is one of the most important vectors of dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever viruses. The use of chemical control strategies such as insecticides is associated with problems including the development of insecticide resistance, side effects on animal and human health, and …

Evaluation of Chikungunya Virus Infectious Events in Aedes Albopictus LR and Aedes Aegypti WE Mosquito Vectors
… virus (CHIKV) is an alphavirus transmitted by Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in tropical areas of Africa, Asia, and the islands of the Indian Ocean. In 2007 and 2009, CHIKV was transmitted outside these tropical areas to cause localized infections in people in Italy and France. …

Reproductive Resilience of Aedes Aegypti Mosquitoes
<p>Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes impose a severe global public health burden as vectors of viruses that cause dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever, and Zika, and parasites that cause lymphatic filariasis. Under optimal environmental conditions, Aedes aegypti females have access to human hosts that …

Biological rhythms in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are found globally and also act as the primary vector of Zika, dengue, and Chikungunya viruses, for which there are limited treatment options and no vaccines available. The use of insecticides as the main control strategy against diseases transmitted by this mosquito, is …

Effect of container size and larval competition on adult fitness of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae)
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae), co-occur in a variety of water-filled containers where they compete for limited resources. Aedes albopictus larvae often outcompete those of Ae. aegypti but variation in biotic and abiotic parameters can modify the outcome of interspecific …

Response to visual threats in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
… escape responses from the Yellow Fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. A virtual reality environment was adapted from previous work, to display the looming stimulus while the mosquito is in a variety of conditions (i.e., landed, in free or tethered flight). Results from these experiments allowed us to …

An Ecological, Molecular, and Biochemical Comparison of Aedes Triseriatus (Say), the Vector of LaCrosse Virus, With Its Sibling Species, Aedes Hendersoni Cockerell
Aedes triseriatus (Say) is the primary vector of LaCrosse virus (LAC virus) that causes encephalitis in humans and especially young children. Aedes hendersoni Cockerell, a sibling species of Ae. triseriatus, is generally unable to transmit the virus because of a salivary gland escape barrier. …

Identifying Novel Contributors to RNA Interference in Aedes aegypti
Aedes aegypti is an important vector of human pathogens including the viruses yellow fever, dengue and chikungunya. The small interfering RNA (siRNA) pathway is a critical immune response for controlling viral replication in Aedes aegypti. The goal of this research is to identify components of the …

Factors influencing pyrethroid barrier spray effectiveness against Aedes mosquitoes
The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus (Skuse), is a worldwide nuisance pest that is capable of vectoring several viruses of public health concern. This invasive mosquito has recently expanded its habitable range through its utilization of artificial breeding sites, often due to the activity of …

Ecological Stoichiometry: What Role Does it Play in the Competition and Spatial Distribution Patterns of <i>Aedes Albopictus</i> and <i>Aedes Aegypti</i>?
… ecosystems occupied by the mosquitoes <em>Aedes albopictus</em> and <em>Aedes aegypti</em>. Nutrient content of detritus varies, but it can have a negative effect on mosquito growth and survival if nutrient thresholds are not met. I investigated nutrient environments and species abundance …

The impact of chlortetracycline on Drosophila melanogaster and Aedes aegypti
… The impact of chlortetracycline treatment on Aedes aegypti and Drosophila melanogaster was investigated by assessing life-span, fecundity, development time, survival, nutrition and metabolism. The impact on microbial numbers and diversity was also determined. With Drosophila, treatment with 50 …

MODELLING THE EPIDEMIOLOGY, ECOLOGY, AND CONTROL OF AEDES-BORNE DISEASES
Aedes-borne diseases are a major contributor to human mortality and morbidity worldwide. In this thesis, I used mathematical and statistical modelling to generate new insights and knowledge about the epidemiology and ecology of Aedes-borne diseases as well as the impact of Aedes control on disease …

Sviluppo della lotta autocida contro Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae)
SCOPO DELLA RICERCA Aedes albopictus è diventata in pochi anni dalla sua introduzione in Italia la specie di zanzara più nociva e più importante sotto il profilo sanitario. Essendo una zanzara tipicamente urbana e ad attività diurna, limita fortemente la fruizione degli spazi aperti ed incide …

Aedes aegypti Heat Shock 70 Genes and their Inducible Promoters
Aedes aegypti is an important vector of the viruses that cause dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and yellow fever. In depth genetic studies of vector species have been made possible due to the availability of genome sequences and techniques for producing stably transformed mosquitoes. These …

Variations in Time-Dependent Mosquito-Host Interactions Across Aedes Species
… We use CRISPR/Cas9 to knockout timeless in Aedes aegypti and show this mutation causes an increase in their free running periods under continuous darkness conditions. External factors can also influence a vector's activity pattern like climate, light pollution, as well as host preference and …
