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 …

Comparative studies of the microbial composition and diversity of container-dwelling mosquitoes
… of the microbial communities of larval stages of Aedes japonicus and Aedes triseriatus collected from tree hole and waste tire habitats revealed the bacterial richness to be highest in Aedes japonicus, intermediate in Aedes triseriatus, and in water samples from their larval environment. The …

The Plant Diet of Mosquitoes: Sugar Feeding on Ornamentals and Wildflowers
… the sugar feeding behavior of invasive species Aedes japonicus on the toxic native flower fly poison and assessed its suitability as a naturally sourced attractant and toxin for use in attractive toxic sugar baits. Finally, we compared the morphology, metabolism and life history traits of …

Morphological differentiation of eggs and comparative efficacy of oviposition and gravid traps for Aedes vectors at different habitats
… container-inhabiting Aedeni vectors include Aedes triseritatus, Aedes albopictus, and Aedes japonicus. To better understand the efficacy of gravid traps and oviposition traps as surveillance methods for these mosquitoes, field studies were conducted in three different habitat types. Ae. …

Factors influencing arbovirus transmission: vector competence and the effects of virus infection on repellent response, oxidative stress, and glutathione-S-transferase activity
… We conducted vector competence studies of local Aedes and Culex mosquitoes for ZIKV and CVV, and found that all Aedes mosquitoes were competent for CVV and only Aedes albopictus and Aedes japonicus were competent for ZIKV. Vector competence for CVV was dose-dependent, where mosquitoes orally …

Overwintering Mechanisms of La Crosse Virus Vectors
… horizontal transmission with sciurid rodents and Aedes mosquitoes in Virginia. Transovarial transmission also occurs in this host-parasite system and has evolved for the virus to persist through winter. The virus perpetuates in diapause induced embryos and infects naive rodents the following …

Transmission of La Crosse Virus in Southwest Virginia: Role of Accessory Vectors, Microfilarial Coinfection and Canine Seroprevalence
… oviposition activity of LAC virus vectors Aedes triseriatus, Ae. albopictus and Ae. japonicus across a wide region of southwest Virginia. Egg abundance and oviposition patterns of these vectors were significantly different across the three study areas. The primary LAC virus vector, Ae. …

Dynamics of La Crosse virus: Surveillance, Control and Effect on Vector Behavior
… cycle involving the eastern treehole mosquito, Aedes triseriatus and small woodland mammals such as chipmunks and squirrels. The objectives of this study were 1) to conduct surveillance of LACV and other mosquito-borne viruses; 2) to evaluate the effect of virus infection on mosquito …

La Crosse Virus in Southwestern Virginia: Role of Exotic Mosquito Species and Effect of Virus Infection on Feeding
… (LAC) virus. Vectors include the major vector Aedes triseriatus and two accessory vectors Aedes albopictus and Aedes japonicus. In the past several decades there has been an increase in the number of LAC cases, implication of new vectors, and the appearance of new foci of disease in the …

Genome-scaled molecular clock studies of invasive mosquitoes and other organisms of societal relevance
… Drosophila, as well as to invasive mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Many other invasive pests are emerging worldwide aided by global trade, increased connectivity among countries, lack of prevention, and flawed invasive species management. Among them, there is Aedes koreicus and …

Forest disturbance, mosquito vector ecology and La Crosse virus dynamics in southwestern Virginia
… in different ways. The primary LACV vector, Aedes triseriatus, and the recent invasive Ae. japonicus declined with logging. Other vectors (Ae. albopictus, Ae. canadensis, and Ae. vexans) thrived with logging. Culex pipiens/restuans was affected by disturbance but had no treatment preference. …
