Habitat disturbance and the organization of bacterial communities in Neotropical hematophagous arthropods
(2019-09-06)
The microbiome plays a key role in the biology, ecology and evolution of arthropod vectors of human pathogens. Vector-bacterial interactions could alter disease transmission dynamics through modulating pathogen replication ...
High infestation of invasive Aedes mosquitoes in used tires along the local transport network of Panama
(2019-05-27)
Background: The long‑distance dispersal of the invasive disease vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus has intro‑ duced arthropod‑borne viruses into new geographical regions, causing a significant medical and economic ...
Proteomic fingerprint identification of Neotropical hard tick species (Acari: Ixodidae) using a self-curated mass spectra reference library
(2020-04-14)
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry is an analytical method that detects macromolecules that can be used as biomarkers for taxonomic identification in arthropods. The ...
Dynamics and diversity of bacteria associated with the disease vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus
(2019-08-21)
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus develop in the same aquatic sites where they encounter microorganisms that infuence their life history and capacity to transmit human arboviruses. Some bacteria such as Wolbachia are ...
The impact of biological invasion and genomic local adaptation on the geographical distribution of Aedes aegypti in Panama
(2019-01-01)
Local adaptation is an important consideration when predicting arthropod-borne disease risk because it can impact on vector population fitness and persistence. However, the extent that vector populations are adapted to ...
