Abstract The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus , is one of the most invasive species in world. Native to tropical forests Southeast Asia, over past 30 years it has rapidly spread throughout and temperate regions Its dramatic expansion resulted public health concerns as a consequence its vector competence for at least 16 viruses. Previous studies showed that Ae. been facilitated by human-mediated transportation, but much remains unknown about how this affected genetic attributes. Here we...
Age structure and longevity constitute fundamental determinants of mosquito populations' capacity to transmit pathogens. However, investigations on mosquito-borne diseases primarily focus aspects such as abundance or dispersal rather than survival demography. Here, we examine the post-capture wild-caught populations Asian tiger Aedes albopictus investigate influence environmental factors individual frailty longevity. We captured females Ae. from June November 2021 in a vegetated an urban...
Mosquito species, including the Asian tiger mosquito, can transmit disease-causing pathogens such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya, with their population dynamics influenced by a variety of factors climate shifts, human activity, local environmental conditions. Understanding these is vital for effective control measures. Our study, conducted in Jardí Botanic Marimurtra from May to November 2021, monitored Ae. albopictus activity using BG-Traps investigated larval effects. We employed...
Determination of the interactions between hematophagous mosquitoes and their human hosts is great importance for better understanding transmission dynamics mosquito-borne arboviruses developing effective strategies to mitigate risk. Genetic analysis mosquito DNA can play a key role in this, but commercial kits short tandem repeat (STR) genotyping are expensive do not allow simultaneous STR host vector DNA. Here, we present an inexpensive straightforward STR-loci multiplex system capable...

Abstract The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus , is a highly invasive species that has been spreading rapidly throughout tropical and temperate regions worldwide since the late 1970s. On Iberian Peninsula, it was first recorded in 2004 near Barcelona. Since then, spread along Mediterranean coast now colonising Peninsula’s inner territories. As with other of genus mosquito linked to global shipping routes road networks. In particular, transport adult mosquitoes by car shown augment its...
