Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] In March 2005, the Indian Ocean island of Reunion, a former colony and now overseas department of France, saw the first cases of what was to become a massive epidemic of the mosquito borne viral infection Chikungunya. More than 250,000 people, one third of the Island's population, were subject to high fevers, rash, and joint and muscle pains over the next 18 months, yet the public health authorities in metropolitan France were arguably slow to take the epidemic seriously. The research presented here explores attitudes underlying the management of the epidemic by examining

Abstract:

The ultimate goal of this research was to perform a domain exchange between a computer identified insect specificity region of the mosquito larvicidal protein Cry IVB and a previously identified domain in a related protein toxin which targets lepidopteran insect larvae. If the insect specificity domain has been correctly identified, an exchange of DNA in this manner transfers the toxicity of one peptide to another by an exchange of the insect specificity domains. New, chimeric peptides may be designed which will target a larger spectrum of insect larvae.In previous research a domain exchange w

Abstract:

Various strains of Bacillus thuringiensis Mt.) produce crystalline endotoxins specific for larvae of different insect classes. Two strains, B.t. subspp. israelensis and kurstaki produce similar 130 kDa toxins encoded by the CryIVB gene (toxic to Diptera) and the CryIA gene (toxic to Lepidoptera), respectively. The N-terminal region of the CryIVB gene was cloned into the Escherichia coli expression vector pKX223-3. A mosquitocidal transformant was obtained as determined by mosquito bioassays. The gene fragment, if stable, can be cloned into cyanobacteria to achieve biological control of mosquit

Abstract:

Bacillus sphaericus 2362 is a mosquito pathogenic bacterium. Its greatest industrial potential may be in developing countries where mosquitos are often vectors for diseases. This strain is typical of the species in that it is unable to grow using carbohydrates as a sole source of carbon. The goal of this research was to determine the metabolic deficiency(s) responsible for the inability of this organism to grow on carbohydrates. Compounds that supported light growth of this organism on an agar-solidified, defined medium included acetate, glycerol, and gluconate. Growth in a defined liquid medi

Anopheles species composition and relative seasonal abundance were measured in an irrigated division (low historical malaria incidence) and in a rain-fed division (high historical malaria incidence) of southern Sri Lanka.

In cattle-baited net trap collections, Anopheles adults were significantly more abundant in the irrigated division than in the rain-fed division.

Abstract:

Background: Mosquito-borne diseases are a growing concern for temperate regions including the northeastern US. There the two primary mosquito vectors, Cx. pipiens and Ae. albopictus are widespread, endemic circulation of West Nile virus causes sporadic outbreaks, and imported arboviruses such as dengue, chikungunya, and Zika are on the rise. With temperate mosquito-borne disease outbreaks likely to increase in frequency, it is critical to reduce mosquito populations in the northeastern US.

Abstract:

I tested a theoretical model proposing that anemia favors transmission of blood-borne parasites to vectors by accelerating the blood-feeding rate. Using Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, initially, I was not able to confirm this phenomenon either in an artificial or a live system; anemia did not correlate with blood-feeding rate, time or volume. I then analyzed the feeding rate over different time intervals to examine the possibility that inconsistent feeding rates masked the expected results; a comparison of the blood-feeding rate at one particular time period supports the theory.

Malaria is a serious and life-threatening mosquito-borne disease that every year affects over 200 million individuals and causes 400,00 deaths. An additional 0.5 billion people globally are at risk of malaria infection.

This recognition has led to the development of explicit and implicit climate-driven models of malaria transmission designed to better understand and predict patterns of populat
