Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 703: Winged Threat on the Offensive: A Literature Review Due to the First Identification of Aedes japonicus in Poland
Niemiec
Genetic studies preceded by the observation of an unknown mosquito species in Mikołów (Poland) confirmed that it belongs to a new invasive species in Polish fauna, Aedes japonicus (Theobald, 1901), a known vector for numerous infectious diseases. Ae. japonicus is expanding its geographical presence, raising concerns about potential disease transmission given its vector competence for chikungunya virus, dengue virus, West Nile virus, and Zika virus. This first genetically confirmed identification of Ae. japonicus in Poland initiates a comprehensive review of the literature on Ae. japo...

Chemical control of medically important arthropods in Panama: A systematic literature review of historical efforts
Acta Trop. 2024 Apr 25:107217. doi: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2024.107217. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVector-borne diseases are a major source of morbidity in Panama. Herein, we describe historical usage patterns of synthetic insecticides to control arthropod disease vectors in this country. We examine the influence of interventions by vector control programs on the emergence of insecticide resistance. Chemical control has traditionally focused on two mosquito species: Anopheles albimanus, a major regional malaria vector, and Aedes aegypti, a historical vector of yellow fever, and current vector of dengue, chikungunya, and ...

Prevalence of arboviruses in sickle cell disease patients from two major cities in northeast region of Brazil
Braz J Infect Dis. 2024 Apr 23:103741. doi: 10.1016/j.bjid.2024.103741. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a hereditary disease characterized by extravascular and intravascular hemolysis and clinical variability, from mild pain to potentially life-threatening. Arboviruses include mainly Zika (ZIKV), Chikungunya (CHKV), and Dengue (DENV) virus, and are considered a public and social health problem. The present cross-sectional observational study aimed to investigate the prevalence of arbovirus infection in SCD patients from two Brazilian cities, Salvador and Manaus located in Bahia and Amazonas state...

Isolation and molecular detection of dengue and chikungunya virus from field-collected adult mosquitoes in Kelantan, Malaysia
CONCLUSION: The presence of DENV and the main vectors of arboviruses in Kelantan are pertinent indicators of the need to improve vector controls to reduce arbovirus infections among people in the localities.PMID:38648407 | DOI:10.4103/0972-9062.392269 (Source: Journal of Vector Borne Diseases)

MBORS: Mosquito vector Biocontrol Ontology and Recommendation System
CONCLUSION: The MVAont predicts harmless biocontrol agents which help to diminish the rate of vector-borne diseases. On the other hand, the MosqVecRS system raises awareness of vectors and vector-borne diseases by recommending suitable biocontrol agents to the vector control community and researchers.PMID:38648406 | DOI:10.4103/0972-9062.383640 (Source: Journal of Vector Borne Diseases)
