Genetic diversity of Anopheles mosquitoes
… related to the genetic diversity of Anopheles mosquitoes. The first project concerns the development and application of sequence based species assignment methods for any species in the genus. The second project discusses the population structure of the major malaria vector Anopheles funestus, …

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 …

Multimodal Strategies of Host-Seeking Mosquitoes
<p>Mosquitoes use multiple sensory modalities, including olfaction, thermosensation, and vision, to hunt human hosts and obtain a blood-meal for egg production. Any individual sensory cue is an incomplete signal of a human host, and so a mosquito must integrate multimodal sensory information before …

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 …

Filarial infection in mosquitoes of Northern California
… of filarial parasites in Lake County, CA, mosquitoes were collected in 2014 and analyzed for infection using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Of 1,008 mosquito pools, six filarial parasite species were detected in 23 pools representing six mosquito species. The DNA of Dirofilaria immitis …

Factors Influencing Sugar Feeding in Invasive Mosquitoes
… behavior and pathogen transmission. As mosquitoes are the deadliest animals on earth and because challenges, such as the rise of insecticide resistance, arise, there is an urgent need for developing effective and ecologically friendly disease vector control strategies. It is therefore …

Chromosome and Genome Evolution in Culicinae Mosquitoes
… subfamily among the Culicidae family of mosquitoes. Two genera, Culex and Aedes, from this subfamily have world-wide distribution and are responsible for transmitting of several deadly diseases including Zika, West Nile fevers, chikungunya, dengue, and Rift Valley fevers. Developing …

Chromosomal evolution in mosquitoes - vectors of diseases
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 …

Biological control of Culex mosquitoes using multiple predators
… of pests, vectors and invasive species. Mosquitoes are major vectors of pathogens and parasites which induce unrivaled morbidity and mortality through disease. Emergent insecticide resistance and environmental concerns have recently driven increased interest in biological control …

Comparative genomics of chromosomal rearrangements in malaria mosquitoes
… inversions between lineages in Anopheles mosquitoes demonstrated that X chromosome has the fastest rate of inversion fixations and highest density of repetitive elements. Among the autosomes, 2R evolved faster than other autosomes. The slowly evolved autosomes have more M/SARs than rapidly …

Response to visual threats in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
Blood-feeding mosquitoes, by transmitting parasites and viruses to their hosts, kill several hundred thousand people every year. Mosquito populations are currently developing raising levels of insecticide resistance, and there is a need for a better understanding of their behavior so that new …

The Biosystematics of the Mosquitoes of Greene County, Missouri
Mosquito larvae, pupae, and adults were collected from April through October 1977, in order to determine the species composition of the fauna of Greene County, Missouri. Twenty species of six genera were collected from a total of 146 localities. These species were: Anopheles punctipennis, A. …

Factors affecting Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite formation in Anopheles mosquitoes
… clones (3D7 and HB3) in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes, and the pattern of inheritance of the phenotype was investigated. Membrane-feeding of cultured P. falciparum parasites to laboratory-reared Anopheles mosquitoes produced infected midguts for dissection. Microdissection of single oocysts …
