Abstract Insect midgut microbial symbionts have been considered as an integral component in thermal adaptation due to their differential sensitivity. Altered communities can influence both insect physiology and competence for important vector-borne pathogens. This study sought gain insights into how Aedes aegypti microbes life history traits are affected by increase baseline diurnal temperature. Increase temperature resulted the enrichment of specific taxa with Bacillus being most enriched....
The Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is an important vector of a number arboviruses, including Zika (ZIKV), dengue (DENV), and chikungunya (CHIKV) viruses, has recently expanded its range in the eastern United States to southern New England York. Given recent establishment proliferation Ae. albopictus this region increasing amount international travel between endemic countries, there need elucidate public health risk posed by species Northeast. Accordingly, we evaluated competence...
Rapid and significant range expansion of both Zika virus (ZIKV) its Aedes vector species has resulted in ZIKV being declared a global health threat. Mean temperatures are projected to increase globally, likely resulting alterations the transmission potential mosquito-borne pathogens. To understand effect diurnal temperature on vectorial capacity Ae. aegypti albopictus for ZIKV, longevity, blood-feeding competence were assessed at two regimes following feeding infectious blood meals. Higher...
Abstract Background Vector-borne pathogens must survive and replicate in the hostile environment of an insect’s midgut before successful dissemination. Midgut microbiota interfere with pathogen infection by activating basal immunity mosquito synthesizing pathogen-inhibitory metabolites. Methods The goal this study was to assess influence Zika virus (ZIKV) increased temperature on Aedes albopictus microbiota. were reared at diurnal temperatures day 28 °C/night 24 °C (L) or 30 26 (M)....
The vomeronasal organ (VNO) is a part of the accessory olfactory system, which detects pheromones and chemical factors that trigger spectrum sexual social behaviors. epithelium (VNE) shares several features with main (MOE). However, it distinct neuroepithelium populated by chemosensory neurons differ from sensory in cellular structure, receptor expression, connectivity. rodents comprises (SE) thin non-sensory (NSE) morphologically resembles respiratory epithelium. Sox2-positive cells have...
Both mosquito species-specific differences and virus strain -specific impact vector competence. Previous results in our laboratory with individual populations of N. American mosquitoes support studies suggesting Aedes aegypti are more competent than Ae. albopictus for Zika (ZIKV) strains demonstrate that U.S. have higher competence an ancestral Asian ZIKV strain. A982V, amino acid substitution the NS1 gene acquired prior to outbreak, has been shown increase aegypti. We hypothesized...
