High infestation of invasive Aedes mosquitoes in used tires along the local transport network of Panama

Abstract: Background The long-distance dispersal of the invasive disease vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus has introduced arthropod-borne viruses into new geographical regions, causing a significant medical and economic burden. The used-tire industry is an effective means of Aedes dispersal, yet studies to determine Aedes occurrence and the factors influencing their distribution along local t… Show more

“…Although more challenging than identifying bacteria and fungi due to the size and heterogeneity of the specimen, MALDI has also been used to discriminate among species of invertebrates, including mosquitoes (Culicidae-Anopheles), fleas (Pulicidae-Ctenocephalide), biting midges (Ceratopogonidae-Culicoides), sandflies (Psychodidae-Phlebotomus, Lutzomyia) and ticks (Ixodidae-Rhipicephalus) [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. A key finding from these studies is that protein spectra obtained from body sections or whole specimens were similar among individuals of the same morphological species but differed noticeably across different species.…”

“…Simultaneously, developing drugs to manage arthropod-borne diseases (ABD) is a timely and important research challenge with a major impact on real-world ABD elimination/control programs [2][3][4]. The current scenario is worsened by the rapid increase in drug resistance in targeted pathogens [5][6][7], coupled with the dangerous spread of invasive arthropod vectors (e.g., the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, and the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus) [8,9], facilitated by anthropic activities, with special reference to trades, urbanization, and global warming [10][11][12][13].…”
