Mosquito vector species (Diptera: Culicidae) are responsible for the transmission of many pathogens and parasites to humans and animals. Current predictions indicate that more than half of the human population on the planet is at risk of vector-borne infections . Most of the mosquito vectors responsible for…

'Mikel Alexander González' 'María José Ruiz-López' 'Ramón C. Soriguer' 'Francisco Caceres' 'Santiago Ruiz' 'Jordi Figuerola'] Background Aedes albopictus is catalogued as one of the 100 most dangerous species worldwide. Native to Asia, the species has drastically increased its distribution range, reaching all…

Aedes vittatus, an emerging invasive mosquito of significant public health concern has slowly made its way onto the global radar. With a known geographical range in Africa and Asia, where it is a competent vector for several arboviruses, this mosquito has now been reported in the Americas. As the spread of this…

Several invasive mosquitoes have become established in Canada, including important pathogen vectors such as Aedes albopictus, Ae. japonicus, and Culex pipiens. Some species have been present for decades, while others are recent arrivals. Several species present new health concerns and may result in autochthonous…

Simple Summary Invasive mosquito species alter the local epidemiology of many pathogens in the invaded areas, including locality circulating pathogens and imported ones. Four invasive species of the genus Aedes are established in Europe, potentially affecting the transmission of vector-borne diseases in the area. These…

'Noor Ahda Fadillah' 'Junus Widjaja' 'Dian Rosadi' 'Nita Rahayu' 'Murtiana Ningsih' 'Iwan Desimal' 'Arif Sofyandi'] The two invasive mosquito species in Indonesia are Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus. These mosquitoes are a serious nuisance to humans and are also the primary vectors of several foreign pathogens, such…

The spread of invasive mosquitoes Aedes albopictus, Aedes aegypti and Aedes japonicus in Spain represents an increasing public health risk due to their capacity to transmit arboviruses such as dengue, Zika and chikungunya among others. Traditional field entomological surveillance remains essential for tracking their…

The mosquito Aedes koreicus (Edwards, 1917) is a recent invader on the European continent that was introduced to several new places since its first detection in 2008. Compared to other exotic Aedes mosquitoes with public health significance that invaded Europe during the last decades, this species’ biology, behavior…

Invasive mosquito vector species have been inadvertently transported to new areas by humans for decades. Strong evidence supports that monitoring maritime, terrestrial, and aerial points of entry is an essential part of the effort to curb the invasion and establishment of invasive vector mosquito species. Miami-Dade…

Mosquito-borne diseases pose a growing global health threat, largely driven by the human-mediated introduction of vector species beyond their native regions. Although only a few mosquito species have historically established populations outside their native ranges, the number of such invasions has increased rapidly in…

Anopheles stephensi is an efficient malaria vector commonly found in South Asia and the Arabian Peninsula, but in recent years it has established as an invasive species in the Horn of Africa (HoA). In this region, An. stephensi was first detected in a livestock quarantine station near a major seaport in Djibouti in…

Ultra-low volume (ULV) insecticide spraying with deltamethrin as the active ingredient is widely used in mosquito control programs, yet its effectiveness against target mosquitoes and its ecological side effects remain poorly quantified under field conditions in Central Europe. Here, we experimentally evaluated the…

A reaction-diffusion-advection model is proposed and investigated to understand the invasive dynamics of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The free boundary is introduced to model the expanding front of the invasive mosquitoes in a heterogenous environment. The threshold RD 0 for the model with Dirichlet boundary condition is…

Mosquito-borne diseases pose a growing global health threat, largely driven by the human-mediated spread of vector species beyond their native regions. Although only a few mosquito species historically established populations outside their native ranges, many have expanded rapidly in recent decades. Once established…

Aedes albopictus has been newly recorded in Agdal district at Rabat in Morocco. The establishment of this invasive mosquito could affect the public health by causing serious epidemics despite of its high nuisance in urban and sub-urban areas. Vector control is mainly based on environmental management but chemical…

'Carole Ginibre' 'Bethsabée Scheid' 'Christophe Lagneau' 'Fabrice Chandre' 'Thierry Baldet' 'Mylène Ogliastro' 'Jérémy Bouyer'] Urban Aedes mosquitoes are vectors of many viruses affecting human health such as dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses. Insecticide resistance and environmental toxicity risks hamper the…

'Mehdi Cherti' 'Balázs Kégl'] Insects play such a crucial role in ecosystems that a shift in demography of just a few species can have devastating consequences at environmental, social and economic levels. Despite this, evaluation of insect demography is strongly limited by the difficulty of collecting census data at…

resident mosquito population Authors: ['Abby Barlow' 'Sarah Penington' 'Ben Adams'] In areas infested with Aedes aegypti mosquitoes it may be possible to control dengue, and some other vector-borne diseases, by introducing Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes into the wildtype population. Thus far, empirical and theoretical…

- We developed a simulation model for the movement of mosquitoes between households. - We investigated the release of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes at both the household and community scale. - Household scale releases result in rapid and successful invasion into the household and the wider community. - When regular…

Mosquitoes are vectors of diseases like malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, chikungunya and Zika. For mosquito control it is crucial to understand their hearing system, as mosquitoes' courting behavior is mostly auditory. Many nonlinear characteristics of the mosquito hearing organ have been observed through…

Mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs), such as dengue virus, chikungunya virus, and West Nile virus, cause over one million deaths globally every year. Because many such diseases are spread by the Aedes and Culex mosquitoes, tracking these larvae becomes critical in mitigating the spread of MBDs. Even as citizen science grows…

The ORCO odor co-receptors are homotetrameric membrane proteins present in the insect olfactory neurons, such as those in Anopheles sp., one of the main malarian vectors. For mosquitoes to detect specific chemicals, common ORCO are required to complex with individual hundreds of specific olfactory receptors (OR). The…

Researching the EEEV virus is challenging due to the virus's high lethality and significant risk. This study employed bioinformatics methods for domain search to investigate the pathogenesis and infection process of the EEEV virus P protein. The results demonstrated that the EEEV virus P protein contains domains that…
