Aedes albopictus (Skuse) is an invasive mosquito that has become important vector of chikungunya, dengue and Zika viruses. In the absence specific antiviral therapy or a vaccine, management sole method available for reducing Aedes-induced disease morbidity. Determining resistance status Ae. to insecticides exploring mechanisms essential future control planning. larvae pupae were sampled from six sites (two each urban, suburban rural) in Guangzhou. The bioassays conducted against Bacillus...

Background Aedes albopictus is one of the most invasive species in world as well important vector for mosquito-borne diseases such dengue fever, chikungunya fever and zika virus disease. Chemical control mosquitoes an effective method to diseases, however, wide improper application insecticides has led serious resistance problems. At present, there have been many reports on pyrethroid including deltamethrin . However, fitness cost competence resistant remain unknown. To understand impact...

Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus, also known as the Asian tiger mosquito, is a mosquito which originated in Asia. In recent years, it has become increasingly rampant throughout world. This can transmit several arboviruses, including dengue, Zika and chikungunya viruses, considered public health threat. Despite urgent need of genome engineering to analyze specific gene functions, progress genetical manipulation Ae. albopictus been slow due lack efficient methods genetic markers. present study, we...

The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, an increasingly relevant arboviral vector, has spread worldwide. However, currently available tools are limited in terms of effective monitoring vector populations and accurate determination the extent viral transmission, especially before during outbreaks. Therefore, it is essential to develop novel surveillance tools, particularly those that target adult mosquitoes enhance trapping efficiency for Ae. albopictus.A variety human body odorants...

Purpose: This study was to identify and analyze the pathogen responsible for food poisoning in a tourist group traveling from Macao Zhuhai. Patients Methods: Samples were obtained 27 patients of 96 cases, as well samples contaminated Macau. The collected subjected serological identification, drug sensitivity analysis, resistance gene virulence factor tracing. Results: Twenty-six isolates salad isolate S. enteritidis ST11. Isolates exhibited significant Penicillin AMP (Ampicillin) quinolones...

Abstract Background Zika virus (ZIKV) and dengue (DENV) are closely related flaviviruses primarily transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. Armigeres subalbatus is an emerging widely distributed mosquito, ZIKV has been detected isolated from it. However, it not clear whether Ar. s ubalbatus could be a vector for DENV or not. In this study, we investigated the infection transmission of to DENV. Methods A line was Guangdong, China, further identified mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 ( COI )...

Mosquito densoviruses (MDVs) are mosquito-specific viruses that recommended as mosquito bio-control agents. The MDV Aedes aegypti densovirus (AeDNV) is a good candidate for controlling mosquitoes. However, the slow activity restricts their widespread use vector control. In this study, we introduced Bacillus thuringiensis (Bti) toxin Cry11Aa domain II loop α8 and Cyt1Aa β6-αE peptides into AeDNV genome to improve its mosquitocidal efficiency; protein expression was confirmed using nanoscale...

Objective Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an endocrine-related disease with increasing incidence worldwide. Male sexual dysfunction common in diabetic patients. Therefore, we designed a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to investigate the association of type and 3 glycemic traits testosterone levels. Methods Uncorrelated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated T2DM (N = 228), fasting insulin 38), glucose 71), HbA1c 75) at genome-wide significance were selected as instrument...

Abstract BACKGROUND Aedes albopictus is the primary vector of mosquito‐borne diseases, including dengue and chikungunya, in China. The management mosquitoes strategy for control such infectious diseases. gravid Ae. prefers to skip‐oviposit its eggs into different small water containers, these breeding places critical mosquito . Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies Israelensis (Bti) a useful biological larvicide, but effective period currently available commercial product relatively short. This...

Abstract The initial signals governing sex determination vary widely among insects. Here we show that Armigeres subalbatus M factor ( AsuMf ), a male-specific duplication of an autosomal gene the Drosophila behaviour/human splicing (DBHS) family, is potential primary signal for in human filariasis vector mosquito, Ar. . Our results satisfies two fundamental requirements factor: expression and early embryonic expression. Ablations result shift from male- to female-specific doublesex fruitless...

Abstract Background: The use of oviposition attractants is a promising approach to control populations mosquito vectors at the source; however, knowledge on stimulation in Aedes albopictus very limited. In recent years, tea bags have been proven attract aegypti lay eggs, but sources are wide and varied; moreover, factors mechanisms that mosquitoes remain unclear. Methods : effects three kinds Chinese tea, nonfermented, fully fermented postfermented, were comparatively evaluated for their...
