Improved estimates of risk of exposure to pathogens transmitted by mosquitoes
The exposure of humans to mosquitoes that carry infectious pathogens is a central component to assess the risk of people becoming infected with the pathogen and succumbing to a range of illness. Mosquito-borne illnesses are increasing, but the understanding of the effect of exposure to mosquitoes …

Eco-epidemiology of West Nile virus in the midwestern United States
… period for any pathogen they transmit. Mosquitoes are among the most responsive to climatic changes, and several species are considered the most successful invasive organisms on our planet. In 1999, West Nile virus (WNV) arrived in New York City and caused a local outbreak affecting …

Linking mosquito midgut and virus population biology at the molecular and cellular level
… pathogen transmission by vectors. Each step in infection of a mosquito vector constitutes a barrier to transmission that may impose bottlenecks on virus populations. West Nile virus (WNV) is maintained by multiple mosquito species with varying VC. However, the extent that bottlenecks and VC are …

Impact of climate- and urbanization-driven environmental change on Aedes aegypti susceptibility to Zika virus
… increases, the viable habitat for some mosquitoes will expand, allowing for increased spread of vector-borne diseases. Even in the most optimistic climate models, the risk of diseases transmitted by Aedes species mosquitoes is high, especially in Africa, where the disease burden is …

Pathogenesis and transmission of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus
… vector in most major coastal outbreaks is the mosquito Aedes taeniorhynchus. This species is more susceptible to most epidemic than to enzootic strains, and the adaptation of VEEV to this vector may be an important determinant of epidemic transmission. However, studies on the infection, …

THE ABUNDANCE AND INFECTION STATUS OF ANOPHELES spp. MOSQUITOES AT THREE SITES IN LOUDOUN COUNTY, NORTHERN VIRGINIA
… determine the abundance of blood-fed Anopheles mosquitoes in the three sites close to the 2002 local transmission of human malaria in Loudoun County, Northern Virginia, and 2) to determine the infection status of the blood-fed Anopheles mosquitoes collected in the area. We observed a significant …

Immunogenicity and toxicity of yellow fever vaccines : a systematic review
BACKGROUND Yellow fever (YF) is a non-contagious, mosquito borne haemorrhagic fever caused by a single-strand RNA flaviviruses. YF is endemic in the tropics primarily in South America and Africa although the vectors are present in Asia, Europe, Pacific and Middle East. Human beings serve as …

Influence of neighborhood structure and weather conditions on density of vectors and risk for West Nile Virus in Cook County Illinois
… pathogen in the region, with consistently high mosquito infection rates and persistent cases of human and veterinary illness. As in most vector-borne systems, one focus of current WNV research is studying the biology of the mosquito vector. Areas with high vector densities are likely to have …
