| vectors vs. humans in australia--who is on top down under? an update on vector-borne disease and research on vectors in australia. | australia has a diversity of vectors and vector-borne human diseases. mosquito-borne arboviruses are of greatest concern, but there are issues with other vector and pathogen systems. mosquitoes were responsible for more than 35,000 cases of ross river virus during 1991-1997. barmah forest virus is increasing nationwide, and unidentified bunyaviruses suspected of causing illness have been isolated. cases of murray valley encephalitis have occurred in 14 of the past 20 years in northern australia. ... | 1998 | 9673928 |
| aedes albopictus (diptera: culicidae) as a potential vector of endemic and exotic arboviruses in australia. | in 2005, established populations of aedes albopictus (skuse) were discovered in the torres strait, the region that separates papua new guinea from northern australia. this increased the potential for this species to be introduced to mainland australia. because it is an arbovirus vector elsewhere, we undertook laboratory-based infection and transmission experiments to determine the potential for ae. albopictus from the torres strait to become infected with and transmit the four major australian e ... | 2014 | 24897860 |
| sucrose density gradient centrifugation and cross-flow filtration methods for the production of arbovirus antigens inactivated by binary ethylenimine. | sucrose density gradient centrifugation and cross-flow filtration methods have been developed and standardised for the safe and reproducible production of inactivated arbovirus antigens which are appropriate for use in diagnostic serological applications. | 2004 | 14720306 |
| integrating statistical and mechanistic approaches with biotic and environmental variables improves model predictions of the impact of climate and land-use changes on future mosquito-vector abundance, diversity and distributions in australia. | changes to australia's climate and land-use patterns could result in expanded spatial and temporal distributions of endemic mosquito vectors including aedes and culex species that transmit medically important arboviruses. climate and land-use changes greatly influence the suitability of habitats for mosquitoes and their behaviors such as mating, feeding and oviposition. changes in these behaviors in turn determine future species-specific mosquito diversity, distribution and abundance. in this re ... | 2020 | 32967711 |
