  1. Chromosomal evolution in mosquitoes - vectors of diseases

    Naumenko, Anastasia NikolayevnaVirginia Tech2017

    The World Health Organization estimates that vector-borne diseases account for 17% of the global burden of all infectious diseases and has identified the mosquito as the most dangerous of all disease-transmitting insects, being responsible for several million deaths and hundreds of millions of …

  2. An Ecological, Molecular, and Biochemical Comparison of Aedes Triseriatus (Say), the Vector of LaCrosse Virus, With Its Sibling Species, Aedes Hendersoni Cockerell

    Reno, Hilary Elizabeth LeeUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2015

    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. …

  3. Modeling Culex tarsalis Coquillett abundance on the northern Colorado Front Range using a landscape-level approach

    Schurich, Jessica, author, Kondratieff, Boris, advisor, Kumar, Sunil, advisor, Moore, Chester, committee member, Eisen, Lars, committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2012

    Endemic and emerging vector-borne diseases are major health problems, and some of them are unlikely to be eliminated regardless of control efforts. The applications for remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) data include the identification of larval mosquito habitats and forecasting …

  4. Linking mosquito midgut and virus population biology at the molecular and cellular level

    Fitzmeyer, Emily Anne, author, Ebel, Gregory D., advisor, Stenglein, Mark, committee member, Kading, Rebekah, committee member, Anderson, Brooke, committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2024

    Vector competence (VC) refers to the efficiency of 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. …

  5. EVOLUTIONARY AND MECHANISTIC INTERACTIONS IN VIRUS TRANSMISSION BY APHIDS

    Pinheiro, Patricia ValleCornell University2017

    … over years of interaction: plant hosts, aphid vectors, plant viruses and the aphid’s bacterial endosymbiont. In this interaction, plant hosts activate their immune defenses against plant viruses and aphids and the latter two use a myriad of strategies to overcome, counteract or skip the host …
