| Spatio-temporal patterns of distribution of West Nile virus vectors in eastern Piedmont Region, Italy. | ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: West Nile Virus (WNV) transmission in Italy was first reported in 1998 as an equine outbreak near the swamps of Padule di Fucecchio, Tuscany. No other cases were identified during the following decade until 2008, when horse and human outbreaks were reported in Emilia Romagna, North Italy. Since then, WNV outbreaks have occurred annually, spreading from their initial northern foci throughout the country. Following the outbreak in 1998 the Italian public health authority def ... | 2011 | 22152822 |
| human-induced expanded distribution of anopheles plumbeus, experimental vector of west nile virus and a potential vector of human malaria in belgium. | for the majority of native species, human-created habitats provide a hostile environment that prevents their colonization. however, if the conditions encountered in this novel environment are part of the fundamental niche of a particular species, these low competitive environments may allow strong population expansion of even rare and stenotopic species. if these species are potentially harmful to humans, such anthropogenic habitat alterations may impose strong risks for human health. here, we r ... | 2011 | 21845955 |
| Comparative genomics of the anopheline glutathione s-transferase epsilon cluster. | Enzymes of the glutathione S-transferase (GST) family play critical roles in detoxification of xenobiotics across many taxa. While GSTs are ubiquitous both in animals and plants, the GST epsilon class (GSTE) is insect-specific and has been associated with resistance to chemical insecticides. While both Aedes aegypti and Anopheles gambiae GSTE clusters consist of eight members, only four putative orthologs are identifiable between the species, suggesting independent expansions of the class in eac ... | 2011 | 22206003 |

| xenomonitoring of mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) for the presence of filarioid helminths in eastern austria. | information on mosquito-borne filarioid helminths in austria is scarce, but recent discoveries of dirofilaria repens indicate autochthonous distribution of this parasite in eastern austria. in the current xenomonitoring study, more than 48,000 mosquitoes were collected in eastern austria between 2013 and 2015, using different sampling techniques and storage conditions, and were analysed in pools with molecular tools for the presence of filarioid helminth dna. overall, dna of d. repens, setaria t ... | 2018 | 29736197 |
