Abstract:

Vector competence is a complex characteristic which governs an insect's ability to acquire, support the development and transmit a parasite from one host to another. It influences variation in disease transmission among mosquito populations, hence affecting disease epidemiology. In this project, I have studied some aspects of ecological interactions and genetic factors in a step towards understanding how these affect variation in disease transmission and exploiting these in future disease control programmes. Mosquito gut bacteria affect the development of parasites ingested by mosquitoes. As d

Abstract:

Mosquitoes spread diseases that shorten and worsen the lives of many people, chiefly children in poor countries, around the world. Since Ronald Ross' discovery at the end of the nineteenth century that mosquitoes transmit malaria, field entomologists have collected a great deal of information about mosquito ecology. Despite this tremendous effort, there still remain significant gaps in our knowledge of mosquito ecology, in part, reflecting the significant variation in mosquito ecology across species and geographies. The main aim of this thesis is an attempt to synthesise the substantial inform

D. immitis is an important disease agent on Madeira Island with about 30% of dogs testing positive for this worm. Nevertheless, the vectors of this parasite in Madeira have never been studied, nor has the interaction between pathogen and vector, or the environmental variables that might influence heartworm transmi

The current Zika virus epidemic in the Western hemisphere is representative of the confluence of global climate change and infectious disease expansion, and vector modeling represents a pertinent and timely method to analyze the environment associated with Zika-carrying mosquitoes.

While climate variables (e.g.,mean temperature, mean precipitation) are routinely included, some argue that human population dynamics, in the f

Ae. triseriatus, Ae. albopictus, Ae. japonicus, and Aedes aegypti eggs were described with the aid of color images and SEM. All eggs were broadly cigar shaped with Ae.

Malaria is a widespread parasitic disease in developing countries of the tropics and subtropics, infecting approximately 200 million people and causing over half a million deaths every year.

In order to reduce malaria transmission, measures of larval control have been implemented throughout the tropics. This includes usage of larvicides, source reduction by environmental or physiochemical manipulation as well elimination of larval habitats. The p

The gut microbiota of the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles coluzzii are understood to have wide reaching influence on mosquito physiology and basal immunity.

Mosquito-borne diseases continue to be a burden to global health. The viruses that cause these diseases are maintained in nature through a biological transmission cycle involving susceptible vertebrate and mosquito hosts. While knowledge of the interactions occurring between mosquito-borne viruses and vertebrates is considerable, much less is known about the interactions of these viruses with their disease vectors. Studies with Drosophila melanogaster have been important in understanding how insects respond to viral infections. However, mosquitoes and the viruses they vector have co-evolved du

Thesis advisor: Marc A.T. Muskavitch<br>The protozoan Plasmodium falciparum, the mosquito-borne pathogen that causes human malaria, remains one of the most difficult infectious parasites to combat and control. Campaigns against malaria eradication have succeeded, in most instances, at the level of vector control, rather than from initiatives that have attempted to decrease malaria burden by targeting parasites. The rapid evolution and spread of insecticide-resistant mosquitoes is threatening our ability to combat vectors and control malaria. Therefore, the development, procurement and distribu

Abstract:

The present thesis explored ethological and geographical approaches for the investigation of vector-borne parasites. In the first part, the role of associative learning on vector preferences for hosts was investigated through a comprehensive series of behavioural experiments using the vector of dengue and yellow fever diseases, the mosquito Aedes aegypti. To this end, the possibility that the mosquitoes were able to associate unconditional stimuli with particular odours and visual patterns to which they were responsive was explored, but no evidence supporting the hypothesis that associative le

Abstract:

Les maladies transmises par les moustiques représentent une menace permanente en santé publique. La principale mesure pour protéger les populations contre les piqûres infectieuses repose actuellement sur l’utilisation d’insecticides, mais celle-ci est menacée par la propagation des mécanismes de résistance au sein des populations de moustiques. Dans ce contexte, les répulsifs représentent un outil de choix pour réduire à la fois les nuisances provoquées par les moustiques et le risque d’infection. Parmi eux, le DEET (N, N-diéthyl-3-méthylbenzamide) a prouvé une efficacité remarquable aussi bie

Master of Science<br>Department of Biology<br>Rollie Clem<br>Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a crucial conserved process among organisms for deleting damaged unwanted cells, as well as for development and viral defense, and plays an important role in multiple diseases. Too much apoptosis may lead to Alzheimer’s disease, and too little may result in cancer. Therefore, the ability to understand this process is essential for improved medical knowledge today. Apoptosis has been explored in a number of species and pathways seem relatively conserved among most, with unique aspects cont

Abstract:

Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) cause significant harm to humans, plants, and animals worldwide. For instance, VBDs are very difficult to manage, as they are governed by complex interactions. VBD transmission depends on the pathogen itself, vector-host movement, and environmental conditions. Mosquito-borne diseases are a perfect example of how all these factors contribute to changes in VBD dynamics. Although vectors are highly sensitive to climate, modeling studies tend to ignore climate effects. Here, I am interested in the arthropod small vectors that are sensitive to climate factors such as te

Abstract:

Las enfermedades transmitidas por mosquitos (ETM) son una creciente preocupación para la salud pública mundial. El aumento de las actividades humanas a escala internacional y el calentamiento global han permitido la rápida difusión y establecimiento de las especies invasoras de mosquitos en nuevas áreas geográficas. Además, la globalización facilita la introducción de arbovirus exóticos en áreas naïve, donde el mosquito está presente, incrementando la probabilidad de los brotes de ETM. Los brotes de ETM, especialmente aquellos causados por arbovirus como el virus del Dengue, el virus del Zika
