evaluation of the vector competence of a native uk mosquito ochlerotatus detritus (aedes detritus) for dengue, chikungunya and west nile viruses.to date there has been no evidence of mosquito-borne virus transmission of public health concern in the uk, despite the occurrence of more than 30 species of mosquito, including putative vectors of arboviruses. the saltmarsh mosquito ochlerotatus detritus [syn. aedes (ochlerotatus) detritus] is locally common in parts of the uk where it can be a voracious feeder on people.201627527700
current status of invasive mosquito surveillance in the uk.non-native invasive mosquitoes have for many years made incursions into europe, and are now established in many european countries. the continued european importation of potential vectors and their expansion within europe increases their potential for importation and establishment in the uk. coupled with increasing numbers of returning dengue and chikungunya infected travellers, the potential exists for transmission of vector borne disease in new regions.201526122427
chikungunya virus-vector interactions.chikungunya virus (chikv) is a mosquito-borne alphavirus that causes chikungunya fever, a severe, debilitating disease that often produces chronic arthralgia. since 2004, chikv has emerged in africa, indian ocean islands, asia, europe, and the americas, causing millions of human infections. central to understanding chikv emergence is knowledge of the natural ecology of transmission and vector infection dynamics. this review presents current understanding of chikv infection dynamics in mosquito v ...201425421891
pilot longitudinal mosquito surveillance study in the danube delta biosphere reserve and the first reports of anopheles algeriensis theobald, 1903 and aedes hungaricus mihályi, 1955 for romania.mosquito-borne viruses (moboviruses) are of growing importance in many countries of europe. in romania and especially in the danube delta biosphere reserve (ddbr), mosquito and mobovirus surveillance are not performed on a regular basis. however, this type of study is crucially needed to evaluate the risk of pathogen transmission, to understand the ecology of emerging moboviruses, or to plan vector control programmes.201627066827
impacts of the creation, expansion and management of english wetlands on mosquito presence and abundance - developing strategies for future disease mitigation.the incidence of mosquito-borne diseases is increasing in europe, partly due to the incursion of a number of invasive species known to be vectors of dengue and chikungunya viruses, but also due to the involvement of native species in the transmission of west nile virus and malaria. for some of these pathogens, there is a risk of the re-emergence of vector-borne diseases that were once widespread in europe, but declined partly due to large-scale land-drainage projects. some mosquito species explo ...201525889666
a japanese encephalitis virus genotype 5 molecular clone is highly neuropathogenic in a mouse model: impact of the structural protein region on virulence.japanese encephalitis virus (jev) strains can be separated into 5 genotypes (g1 to g5) based on sequence similarity. jev g5 strains have been rarely isolated and are poorly characterized. we report here the full characterization of a g5 virus generated using a cdna-based technology and its comparison with a widely studied g3 strain. we did not observe any major differences between those viruses when their infectious cycles were studied in various cell lines in vitro. interestingly, the jev g5 st ...201525787283

a multiplex pcr to differentiate the two sibling species of mosquitoes ochlerotatus detritus and oc. coluzzii and evidence for further genetic heterogeneity within the detritus complex.internal transcribed spacer regions of ribosomal dna were sequenced, and species-specific primers were designed to simplify the identification of two morphologically similar species of the detritus complex, ochlerotatus detritus and ochlerotatuscoluzzii. each newly designed primer was able to amplify a species-specific fragment with a different size. samples from france and germany were successfully tested. this new tool prompts for bio-ecological studies to refine basic knowledge on the bionomi ...201425042295
[autogenesis and cerebral neurosecretion in aedes detritus (haliday, 1833) (diptera - culicidae].in anautogenous females of the dipteran culicidae aedes detritus (haliday, 1833), the neurosecretory products synthesized by the a cells of the pars intercerebralis are stored in the pericarya in absence of blood meal; on the contrary, in the autogenous females they are steadily released from emergency till the stages 3-4 of vitellogenesis; a slight storage occurs by the end of vitellogenesis. these facts suggest the important meaning of these cells in the regulation processes of vitellogenesis ...1976827359
