Novel paradigm of mosquito-borne disease control based on self-powered strategy

Abstract

Wang J and Zhu Z () Novel paradigm of mosquito-borne disease control based on self-powered strategy.

On the Range of Action of Adult <i>Culex pipiens s.l.</i>

“…The female then lays the eggs and resumes hunting for a new host, eventually picking up a new variety of different bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Mosquitoes have the capacity to transmit diseases without ever being infected, which means that they continue to spread all the pathogens throughout their entire lifespan without being affected themselves [3].…”

An improved alphaviruses‐specific RT‐qPCR facilitates monitoring and prevention of alphaviruses

“…1 The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that these arboviruses, notably those transmitted by mosquitoes, are responsible for more than 700 000 fatalities annually. 2 In recent decades, the prevalence of mosquito-borne arboviruses such as dengue virus (DENV), zika virus (ZIKV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), and yellow fever virus (YFV) has escalated due to the processes of globalization and climate change. 3 Although not constituting a formal virologic taxonomic group, many arbovirus diseases exhibit numerous clinical, epidemiologic, and virologic similarities, posing challenges in their differential diagnosis.…”

“…Arboviruses represent a substantial category of viruses transmitted via arthropod vectors, displaying a wide geographic range 1 . The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that these arboviruses, notably those transmitted by mosquitoes, are responsible for more than 700 000 fatalities annually 2 . In recent decades, the prevalence of mosquito‐borne arboviruses such as dengue virus (DENV), zika virus (ZIKV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), and yellow fever virus (YFV) has escalated due to the processes of globalization and climate change 3 .…”
