Culex nigripalpus is a principle disease vector in Florida - ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Activity of free and clay-bound insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis against the mosquito Culex pipiens. AU - Lee, Lan Na. AU - Saxena, Deepak. AU - Stotzky, G.. PY - 2003/7/1. Y1 - 2003/7/1. N2 - Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis produces parasporal insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs) that have larvicidal activity against some members of the order Diptera, such as blackflies and mosquitoes. Hydrolysis of the ICPs in the larval gut results in four major proteins with a molecular mass of 27, 65, 128, and 135 kDa. Toxicity is caused by synergistic interaction between the 25-kDa protein (proteolytic product of the 27-kDa protein) and one or more of the higher-molecular-mass proteins. Equilibrium adsorption of the proteins on the clay minerals montmorillonite and kaolinite, which are homoionic to various cations, was rapid (,30 min for maximal adsorption), increased with protein concentration and then reached a plateau (68 to 96% of the ...

ROSADO-SOLANO, Doris Natalia et al. LARVICIDAL ACTIVITY OF ESSENTIAL OILS AND EXTRACTS OF COLOMBIAN PLANTS AGAINST CULEX QUINQUEFASCIATUS (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE). Iteckne [online]. 2018, vol.15, n.2, pp.79-87. ISSN 1692-1798. http://dx.doi.org/10.15332/iteckne.v15i2.2069.. Essential oils and extracts obtained by microwave hydrodistillation and percolation from plants organically cultivated in the farm El Limonal Piedecuesta- Santander, Colombia, were characterized by Gas Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry. The insecticidal activity against third instar larva of Culex quinquefasciatus and the inhibition activity of acetylcholinesterase of those compounds were studied. Also, the toxicity was evaluated against the zebrafish (Danio rerio). Our results show that the Ruta graveolens essential oil had the highest larvicidal activity with a LC50 7.20±0.19 μg/mL, a moderate inhibition over the enzyme with an IC50 44.98±1.1 μg/mL and a moderate toxicity with a LC50 13.33±0.59 ...

Cry4Ba is a δ-endotoxin produced by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis and Cyt2Aa2 is a cytolytic δ-endotoxin produced by B. thuringiensis subsp. darmstadiensis. Cry4Ba produced in Escherichia coli was toxic to Aedes aegypti larvae (LC50= 140 ng ml-1) but virtually inactive to Culex quinquefasciatus larvae. Cyt2Aa2 expressed in E. coli exhibited moderate activity against A. aegypti and C. quinquefasciatus larvae with LC50values of 350 and 250 ng ml-1, respectively. Co-expression of both toxins in E. coli dramatically increased toxicity to both A. aegypti andC. quinquefasciatus larvae (LC50= 7 and 20 ng ml-1, respectively). This is the first report to demonstrate that Cry4Ba and Cyt2Aa2 have high synergistic activity against C. quinquefasciatus larvae. © 2005 Federation of European Microbiological Societies.

An entomological monitoring of Japanese encephalitis vectors from the Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu was undertaken at biweekly intervals for 1 hr after dusk for five years to find out the abundance and JE virus activity longitudinally in three villages. A total of 95,644 vectors belonging to 31 species constituted predominantly by Culex vishnui subgroup and Culex gelidus 98.5%. JE virus was identified from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus (18), Cx. vishnui (1) and Cx. gelidus (6) giving infection rate of 0.482, 0.608 and 0.221 respectively. Abundance of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus and Cx. gelidus differed significantly by area, season and year (P,0.05) whereas Cx. vishuni differed significantly by season and year (P,0.05). Transmission was not observed throughout all the seasons and the infection rate was recorded maximum during Hot-Wet season 0.46 (confidence interval: 0.17-1.02). Culex tritaeniorhynchus dominated the catch and the Culex gelidus steadily increased in its abundance during this period compared ...

Between May 18 and December 4, 1986, 79 seagoing containers and their contents of 22,051 used tires were inspected for adult mosquitoes as well as eggs and larvae. Of the total inspected, 5,507 tires (25%) contained significant amounts of water. No adults or eggs were found. Fifteen tires contained mosquito larvae that were identified as Ae. albopictus, Ae. togoi, Culex pipiens complex, Tripteroides bambusa and Uranotaenia bimaculata. The infestation rate for all species was 6.8 infested tires per 10,000 tires (wet and dry) inspected. Aedes albopictus larvae were most frequently collected, occurring at a rate of 20 infested wet tires per 10,000 inspected.

The arboviral surveillance program in California depends in part on sentinel chickens to detect western equine encephalomyelitis virus, St. Louis encephalitis virus, and West Nile virus activity. From 2000 through 2002, 1,578 serum specimens from 34 sentinel flocks in northern and southern California were tested for antibodies to Culex tarsalis salivary gland antigens. Sentinel chickens that were seropositive for mosquito salivary gland antigens were more likely to seroconvert to St. Louis encephalitis virus than those seronegative for salivary gland antigens. Flocks with mosquito traps located | 50 feet away had a reduced antibody response to mosquito salivary gland antigens. The use of sentinel chickens and mosquito traps for arboviral surveillance should be standardized to ensure that surveillance data from different sites are comparable and that flocks have comparable opportunities for mosquito exposure. Sentinel chickens should be accessible to potential mosquito vectors to maximize their

Finely grained temporal and spatial patterns of precipitation and air temperature have a significant impact on the timing and location of increased mosquito infection across the Chicago study area. Temperature, in particular, mediates the magnitude and timing of increased MIR within a season and it is strongly indicated as a key factor for explaining much of the observable differences between years. The effect of increased temperature on MIR is especially strong within a week. This is consistent with expectations and would suggest increased mosquito productivity through a shortened time for development of the Culex vector and increased rates of oviposition activity [72], which implies increased biting rates for anautogenous populations. Further, more quickly replicating virus spurred by higher temperatures precedes an increase in mosquito infection. The patterns of association between MIR and precipitation for 2004, 2005, and 2006 are similar to the patterns observed in Florida, where periods of ...

Enzymes such as Esterase A and B (EST), alk. phosphatase (APH), acid phosphatase (ACPH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), aldehyde oxidase (ALDOX) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) were analyzed in 2 populations of Japanese encephalitis (JE) vectors, C. vishnui and C. fuscocephala. Comparisons were made between population from an agricultural field at Mandya district and suburban areas of Mysore. Heterozygosity and allelic frequencies at different loci were calcd. for each enzyme. The data has indicated significant variation between the 2 populations for EST alleles. In mosquitoes, esterases are an important group of enzymes responsible for the development of insecticide resistance. As the JE vectors under study are subjected to an year round insecticidal selection pressure in Mandya district, the result can be correlated to the ecol. status of the populations.

Abstract During the summer of 1966, mosquitoes were collected in southeast Iowa for virus isolation. Although 19 species of mosquito were identified, Aedes trivittatus, Aedes vexans, Anopheles quadrimaculatus, Culex erraticus, Culex salinarius, and Culex tarsalis constituted 90% of the collection. Arboviruses were isolated from 17 of 201 pools of mosquitoes tested. These included a Turlock isolate from C. tarsalis, a Cache Valley virus from A. quadrimaculatus, 7 trivittatus isolates from 2 Aedes species, and 8 Flanders from 4 species of Culex. A known encephalitis-producing strain of the California encephalitis group was not isolated.

Aedes aegypti is the principal vector of the etiological agents of yellow fever, dengue fever and chikungunya fever. In 1901, Walter Reed and colleagues showed that yellow fever was transmitted by Aedes aegypti. Their work was based on Carlos Finlays hypothesis that mosquito bites could transmit the organism causing the disease. Due to its easy adaptation to laboratory culture it is the most studied species within the Culicinae, and has extensively contributed to our understanding of mosquito biology, physiology, genetics, and vector competence.. The Aedes aegypti complete genome sequence was first published in 2007. About 47% of the genome consists of transposable elements, probably contributing to the expansion in size and organization of the Aedes aegypti genome over time. ...

The Andover Board of Health is advising residents to drain any standing water on their property to prevent their yard from becoming a source of mosquitoes, which thrive in water-holding containers, including birdbaths, childrens toys, stored tires, and clogged gutters. Residents should also ensure that air conditioner drip pans are empty and that water features in landscaping are aerated with pumps. Mosquitoes are the primary vectors transmitters of West Nile virus, a virus that can cause fever, meningitis, or encephalitis. Early symptoms include fever, headache, stiff neck, and muscle weakness. A sumithrin-based insecticide with low mammalian toxicity recently was sprayed south of Route 133, from the Tewksbury line to Bellevue Road, along Bellevue Road and Blanchard Street and the nearby side streets, to address the recent discovery of mosquitoes in Tewksbury that tested positive for West Nile virus. Residents also are being advised to take common-sense precautions: Avoid going outdoors between dusk

Avian malaria is a devastating disease that has decimated numerous bird species. This study sought to identify the vectors of avian malaria at four central Virginia Prothonotary warbler breeding sites. Twenty one thousand mosquitoes were collected and Culex salinarius, Cx. erraticus, and Cx. pipiens/restuans were found to be the dominant species at these sites. Geographic factors, such as crop land and forest type, were determined to be potential indicators for species abundance variation between sites. Of the mosquitoes collected, ninety one (0.4%) were identified as blood fed. The blood fed mosquitoes were found to have fed on avian, mammalian, amphibian, and reptilian hosts and a 12.1% Plasmodium infection rate. Of the non-blood fed mosquito pools tested, Deep Bottom had the highest rate of infection (10.5%). Of the species tested, Cx. salinarius, Cx. erraticus, and Cx. pipiens/restuans were determined to be the most probable vectors of avian malaria the four sites.

RNA interference (RNAi), which has facilitated functional characterization of mosquito neural development genes such as the axon guidance regulator semaphorin-1a (sema1a), could one day be applied as a new means of vector control. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (bakers yeast) may represent an effective interfering RNA expression system that could be used directly for delivery of RNA pesticides to mosquito larvae. Here we describe characterization of a yeast larvicide developed through bioengineering of S. cerevisiae to express a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting a conserved site in mosquito sema1a genes. Experiments conducted on Aedes aegypti larvae demonstrated that the yeast larvicide effectively silences sema1a expression, generates severe neural defects, and induces high levels of larval mortality in laboratory, simulated-field, and semi-field experiments. The larvicide was also found to induce high levels of Aedes albopictus, Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus mortality. The results of these

In Australia, flavivirus infections of particular public health importance are DENV, KUNV, MVEV and JEV. Yellow fever is reported under Quarantinable diseases. These infections are nationally notifiable. No specific treatment is available for these diseases and care is largely supportive. A vaccine is available to prevent JEV infection50 but there are no vaccines currently for DENV, MVEV or KUNV infection. Infection with MVEV, KUNV or JEV is usually asymptomatic or produces a non-specific illness, but a small percentage of cases progress to encephalomyelitis of variable severity. Culex annulirostris is the major vector of MVEV, JEV and KUNV. DENV has 4 serotypes, each containing numerous genotypes. The serotypes isolated from returning travellers (and thus involved in local outbreaks) vary by year and geographical region. Infection with 1 serotype probably confers lifelong immunity to that serotype,21 but subsequent infection with a different serotype is 1 factor thought to increase the risk of ...

Japanese encephalitis (JE) is an infectious disease that is caused by a virus transmitted by mosquitoes. Domestic and feral pigs, some species of birds, and humans are all involved in the transmission cycle of this very serious zoonosis. JE is endemic in some areas of Asia, where the major vector identified is Culex tritaeniorhynchus. Even though this specific mosquito is not present in US, all vectors competent for West Nile virus are potentially competent for JEV too, posing a serious threat for the US. Modeling JE presents major challenges, as all vector-borne zoonoses. Due to the complexities of multiple populations involved, the direct use of a network approach, similar to the one used by our group to model RVF [1], will lead to a large set of equations with many parameters to be estimated. To overcome this problem, the PI proposes to explore novel modeling approaches based on interconnected networks [2]. Interconnected networks are an abstract representation where two or more simple ...

Mosquito larvae feeding. Light microscope footage of mosquito larvae (family Culicidae) feeding near the surface of water. Mosquito larvae are aquatic and breathe through spiracles located on their abdomen, or like these larvae, through a siphon (breathing tube) on the end of the abdomen. They feed by wafting algae and other detritus suspended in the water into their mouths, using the beating hairs of their mouth brushes to create a current. On the upper right of the frame the anal gills of one larva can be seen. These structures are found on the anal segment at the end of the abdomen, and arise from a thin membrane around the anus. They are thought to be involved in osmoregulation, the maintenance of correct concentration of fluids and electrolytes. - Stock Video Clip K005/4026

Since last summers epidemic, the health departments in Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties have significantly increased testing for the West Nile virus, trapping more mosquitoes than ever before.. NBC 5 Investigates built an in-depth, online database designed to show by zip code how frequently the four largest counties in North Texas conduct mosquito trapping and testing for West Nile virus. The database also provides the most recent date a zip code was tested and the number of mosquitoes in that zip code that could potentially carry the West Nile virus. Culex mosquitoes are the ones that can potentially carry the virus. Southern House mosquitoes are the Culex species found most frequently in North Texas.. To get that information, NBC 5 Investigates spent weeks filing open records requests with the health departments in Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties to obtain this years test results. Those results were compared with the data that each health department releases publicly ...

West Nile virus (WNv) has been documented in two separate mosquito samples collected this week in Laramie. The positive samples were isolated in mosquitoes collected from surveillance traps monitored by City of Laramie Mosquito Control. This trap was located within the City limits. The samples were determined to be positive for WNv using the Citys Rapid Analyte Measurement Platform (RAMP) analyzer on August 11th. The samples will be sent to the Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory for confirmation.. The rating of the Risk of West Nile virus infection continues to be rated at LEVEL 1 (LOW RISK) based on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for a phased response to WNv surveillance data. Currently virus activity is categorized as Limited to sporadic activity in local mosquitoes and birds. City of Laramie technicians have tested a total of 76 samples of Culex tarsalis mosquitoes throughout the summer season. Culex tarsalis is the known vector of WNv in the region. No avian, equine, or ...

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) elimination program in Tanzania started in 2000 in response to the Global program for the elimination of LF by 2020. Evidence shows a persistent LF transmission despite more than a decade of mass drug administration (MDA). It is advocated that, regular monitoring should be conducted in endemic areas to evaluate the progress towards elimination and detect resurgence of the disease timely. This study was therefore designed to assess the status of Wuchereria bancrofti infection in Culex quinqefasciatus and Anopheles species after six rounds of MDA in Masasi District, South Eastern Tanzania. Mosquitoes were collected between June and July 2019 using Center for Diseases Control (CDC) light traps and gravid traps for indoor and outdoor respectively. The collected mosquitoes were morphologically identified into respective species. Dissections and PCR were carried out to detect W. bancrofti infection.

In their saliva, blood-feeding arthropods have potent pharmacologically active components that help them counteract the hemostatic and inflammatory system of the vertebrate host each time they attempt to take a blood meal (Ribeiro, 1987). Vasodilators, anticoagulants and inhibitors of platelet aggregation are part of this salivary mixture (Ribeiro and Francischetti, 2003). Recently, with the technological advances in DNA and protein sequencing, novel and unexpected molecules with potential biological activities have been isolated from the saliva of blood-feeding arthropods. Such molecules include hyalorunidase, nucleotidases, novel apyrases, amine-binding proteins, tissue-factor pathway inhibitors and others (Ribeiro and Francischetti, 2003). Another such protein is adenosine deaminase (ADA), which was identified from transcripts of a salivary gland cDNA library of the New World sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis (Charlab et al., 2000) and the mosquitoes Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti ...

We conducted a complete genome analysis of a West Nile virus detected in Culex pipiens mosquitoes during a severe outbreak of human West Nile disease in Greece 2010. The virus showed closest genetic relationship to the lineage 2 strain that emerged in Hungary in 2004; increased virulence may be associated with amino acid substitution H249P.

The increased weather variability that accompanies climate instability contributed to the emergence of both the hantavirus pulmonary syndrome and West Nile virus in the United States. Six years of drought in the Southwest apparently reduced the populations of predators, and early heavy rainfall in 1993 produced a bounty of piñon nuts and grasshoppers for rodents to eat. The resulting legions of white-footed mice heralded the appearance of hantavirus in the Americas. The origin of the 1999 outbreak of West Nile virus in New York City remains a mystery, but city-dwelling, bird-biting Culex pipiens mosquitoes thrive in shallow pools of foul water that remain in drains during droughts. When dry springs yield to sweltering summers, viral development accelerates and, with it, the cycle of mosquito-to-bird transmission. During the hot, arid summer of 2002, West Nile virus traveled across the country, infecting 230 species of animals, including 138 species of birds, along the way. Many of the affected ...

HILLSDALE - A Hillsdale-area resident was diagnosed with West Nile virus, bringing to 36 the total number of cases in Michigan of the infectious disease.. The Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency confirmed the countys first case of West Nile this year, but John Robertson, director of health promotion, provided no further information.. West Nile virus comes from the bite of an infected mosquito, usually Culex pipiens, a species that generally prefers feeding on birds over humans. The disease has been endemic in Michigan since 2002, when the state had 644 cases, including 51 deaths.. Although three Michiganders have died this year from the virus - all in the Detroit area - West Nile more frequently causes a mild flu-like illness. Many people are infected and show no symptoms.. Ohio has had 29 West Nile cases this year, with two fatalities - one in Henry County and one in Cuyahoga County. West Nile virus will remain a risk in Michigan and Ohio until a hard frost kills the mosquito ...

GLOBE Mosquito Larvae Protocol is a project for students, that may expand to adults and other volunteers, to learn how to identify mosquito larvae in their community or at a study site. Students will collect, sort, identify, and count the number of mosquito larvae they find in a sample of water. They can learn how to use a variety of sampling strategies depending on the types of mosquito larval habitats found in their particular study area. Through sampling, student volunteers can learn to identify mosquito larvae to either the genus or species level. By performing this kind of citizen science, young people can begin to understand the importance of representative sampling in scientific procedures, along with the relationship between species, climate, and mosquito-borne diseases. By collaborating with GLOBE through school, students can report their data online and share their observations and findings with real scientists ...

From January 1986 to 1988, a total 27, 700 children between 3 months to 5 years old (85.7% of the target poopulation) in Dong Anh Distict, Hanoi, Vietnam, were immunized with JE BIKEN vaccine. The number of 24 JE cases reported from 1986 to 1988 after the vaccination was significantly less than the number of 131 cases reported in the years 1984 and 1985 before the vaccination. After the vaccination, annual number of JE cases was reduced more than 8-fold compared with previous years, and 21 of the 24 of JE cases (87.5%) were found among unvaccinated. Surveillances on swine antibodies and mosquito population in 1988-1989 indicated continued transmission of JE virus in the study area. By the hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) test, antibody positive swine were found all year round, and the positve rate fluctuated between 10 to 66% (average 43.5%) with gemoetrical mean titer between 11-47. Culex tritaeniorhynchus was the most abundant mosquito species and its density increased in hot season ...

West Nile is a particularly big concern, as Texas already gets a ton of cases - the second most in the United States after California. West Nile is transmitted from birds to humans by the Culex mosquito. It doesnt result in symptoms at first, but later may cause issues like fever, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, and in rare cases death.. The rain left behind by Hurricane Harvey has created large areas where mosquitoes can lay their eggs, reads a statement from the Texas Department of State Health Services. To address increasing numbers of mosquitoes and the risk they pose to the recovery effort and public health, the Texas Department of State Health Services has activated its contract for aerial mosquito control and requested additional mosquito control assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Aerial spraying targeting mosquitoes will begin around dusk Thursday over Aransas, Bee, Nueces, Refugio and San Patricio counties, weather permitting.. ...

[...] those same heavy rains may be keeping one species of mosquito -- and West Nile virus -- at bay. Andreadis said so far this year the traps his program sets out to monitor mosquitoes have turned up so many floodwater mosquitoes that his researchers cant test them all. Catherine Rawson, executive director of the Weantinoge Heritage Land Trust, centered in Litchfield County, said that people who go on land trust hikes usually hand back bug spray when it is offered. The West Nile spreaders to worry about are a species of mosquitoes called Culex pipiens. Bill Jacquemin, chief meteorologist with the Connecticut Weather Center in Danbury, said because of a change in the jet stream the state has shifted from a rainy pattern to a tropical pattern, with thunderstorms popping up every day somewhere in the state but no sustained rain.

Most people consider mosquitoes to be a nuisance. Not only can they ruin a fun day outside, but they can carry deadly diseases. The Zika virus, Malaria and Yellow Fever are some of the diseases that can be spread through infected mosquitoes. Many of the diseases that mosquitoes carry are not easily treated. That is why millions of people in the world die from a mosquito-borne illness. In fact, mosquitoes are the deadliest animals in the world.. Fortunately, there are a number of convenient mosquito control options. More information can be found at https://www.mosquitosquadhuntsville.com/.. Mosquito Control Options. Mosquito Barrier Protection. This is one of the most popular mosquito control options. Barrier protection is designed to repel and kill mosquitoes for up to 21 days.

When it comes to ridding private properties of mosquitoes, Benton County residents have their hands tied. The states Department of Ecology has drafted new permit restrictions that, if passed, would prohibit the spraying of insecticides on mosquito populations near bodies of water.. These restrictions while aimed at protecting the environment from harmful chemicals could lead to an increase in adult mosquito populations as a result. While the merits of spraying restrictions are debated homeowners faced with the prospect of a mosquito invasion are looking at alternative ways of keeping their backyards safe.. One type of mosquito killer being touted - the mosquito magnet - seems like the answer to a prayer. These devices mimic humans by releasing CO2 to attract mosquitoes. Combined with other attractants, mosquitoes are then lured to the trap and drawn into a net where they subsequently dehydrate and die. These mosquito machines disrupt the mosquito breeding cycle without the use of harmful ...

Mosquitoes are a dangerous nuisance during the summer months. They are carriers of deadly diseases and their bites cause painful sores that are prone to infection. This is why it is important to take steps to control mosquito populations around the home. However, safe mosquito control can be difficult as many repellents and pesticides contain harmful chemicals. It is therefore important to seek out other, safer means to combat the irritating blood suckers.. Remove Sources of Standing Water.. Many people mistakenly believe that any mosquitoes found around their home originated in a swamp or other large body of stagnant water. The truth is that mosquitoes are not a traveling insect.. It is believed that most mosquitoes will travel no more than a mile from the place they were born. This means that any mosquitoes in or around the home most likely originated on the property. To put an enormous dent in the mosquito population look around for and eliminate any sources of standing water. This can be ...

In the mosquito, Culex pipiens quinqefasciatus, the follicle cells enveloping the oocyte and the nurse cells are connected by intercellular bridges. The bridges are formed by incomplete cytokinesis, and they persist for more than 30 h after their formation. Reconstructions from serial sections showed that one syncytial group contained at least 32 cells; several cells continued outside the series. The cells in a syncytium divide asynchronously; this results in an irregular, branched orgainzation. The bridges may be either embedded in the cytoplasm of the cells, or they may form an extracellular connexion. ...

Mosquitoes: everyone knows them, few like them. This is especially true for Floridians, who have all experienced firsthand the mosquito plague that can result from our lovely year-round temperature. Mosquitoes are a nuisance, causing an allergic reaction in the form of red, itchy bumps. But the true threat of mosquitoes is the wide range of life-threatening diseases they can transmit through their bites. For this reason, its critical to help keep your family mosquito-free, especially during the summer months when mosquitoes are more active in Florida.. Mosquito Facts. There are roughly 200 different species of mosquitoes in the United States. These mosquitos will vary in terms of their habitats, regions, behaviors, and preferred animals they feed on. While there are many inter-species differences, they all share a common four-stage life cycle. Only female mosquitoes bite, as they need blood to produce eggs. Male mosquitoes only feed on flower nectar. Many species of mosquitoes prefer to lay ...

Almost 57 percent of mosquito species in deforested areas were confirmed carriers of human disease, compared with about 28 percent of mosquito species in forested areas, the investigators said.. They also found that mosquito species capable of carrying multiple human diseases favored deforested habitats. These include Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which transmit the dengue, West Nile, yellow fever and Zika viruses.. The last couple of decades have seen an increase in efforts looking into the association between deforestation and specific diseases, said study co-author Dr. Amy Vittor. Here were taking a global view, comparing the distribution of mosquito species capable of carrying disease in deforested and forested areas in the tropics, added Vittor, an assistant professor in the division of infectious diseases and global medicine.. The findings were published recently in the journal Basic and Applied Ecology.. More information. The World Health Organization has more on mosquito-borne ...

The study is the first to document the rise of mutations that make mosquitoes resistant to a gene drive, due to natural selection. These findings will allow researchers to make better predictions of how a gene drive will proceed and to improve the design of future gene drives to decrease the likelihood of resistance.. Tony Nolan adds: Reducing the numbers of mosquito vectors has been the most effective tool to date for the control of malaria, so self-sustaining gene drives designed with this purpose have great potential. However gene drives are not a silver bullet and just like antibiotics can select for resistance in bacteria, gene drives can be susceptible to resistance at their target site. The novelty of this study is not that resistance emerges - we have been planning strategies to deal with this from the start - but that it documents the way it emerges and the way it is selected over generations. This work will help a lot in planning for and managing the emergence of ...
