| gene flow, subspecies composition, and dengue virus-2 susceptibility among aedes aegypti collections in senegal. | aedes aegypti, the "yellow fever mosquito", is the primary vector to humans of the four serotypes of dengue viruses (denv1-4) and yellow fever virus (yfv) and is a known vector of chikungunya virus. there are two recognized subspecies of ae. aegypti sensu latu (s.l.): the presumed ancestral form, ae. aegypti formosus (aaf), a primarily sylvan mosquito in sub-saharan africa, and ae. aegypti aegypti (aaa), found globally in tropical and subtropical regions typically in association with humans. the ... | 2009 | 19365540 |
| effect of quorum sensing by staphylococcus epidermidis on the attraction response of female adult yellow fever mosquitoes, aedes aegypti aegypti (linnaeus) (diptera: culicidae), to a blood-feeding source. | aedes aegypti, the principal vector of yellow fever and dengue fever, is responsible for more than 30,000 deaths annually. compounds such as carbon dioxide, amino acids, fatty acids and other volatile organic compounds (vocs) have been widely studied for their role in attracting ae. aegypti to hosts. many vocs from humans are produced by associated skin microbiota. staphyloccocus epidermidis, although not the most abundant bacteria according to surveys of relative 16s ribosomal rna abundance, co ... | 2015 | 26674802 |
