Electronic mosquito repellents for preventing mosquito bites and malaria infection.
BACKGROUND Electronic mosquito repellents (EMRs) are marketed to prevent mosquitoes biting and to prevent malaria. OBJECTIVES To assess whether EMRs prevent mosquito bites, and to assess any evidence of an effect on malaria infection. SEARCH STRATEGY In August 2006, we searched the Cochrane Infectious Diseases Group Specialized Register, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, Cambridge Scientifi...
متن کاملFilarial infection influences mosquito behaviour and fecundity
Understanding vector-parasite interactions is increasingly important as we move towards the endpoint goals set by the Global Programme for the Elimination of Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF), as interaction dynamics may change with reduced transmission pressure. Elimination models used to predict programmatic endpoints include parameters for vector-specific transmission dynamics, despite the fact t...
متن کاملThe Avian Transcriptome Response to Malaria Infection
Malaria parasites are highly virulent pathogens which infect a wide range of vertebrates. Despite their importance, the way different hosts control and suppress malaria infections remains poorly understood. With recent developments in next-generation sequencing techniques, however, it is now possible to quantify the response of the entire transcriptome to infections. We experimentally infected ...
متن کاملMHC-I Affects Infection Intensity but Not Infection Status with a Frequent Avian Malaria Parasite in Blue Tits
Host resistance against parasites depends on three aspects: the ability to prevent, control and clear infections. In vertebrates the immune system consists of innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is particularly important for preventing infection and eradicating established infections at an early stage while adaptive immunity is slow, but powerful, and essential for controlling infecti...
متن کاملPfCDPK1 is critical for malaria parasite gametogenesis and mosquito infection
Efforts to knock out Plasmodium falciparum calcium-dependent protein kinase 1 (PfCDPK1) from asexual erythrocytic stage have not been successful, indicating an indispensable role of the enzyme in asexual growth. We recently reported generation of a transgenic parasite with mutant CDPK1 [Bansal A, et al. (2016) MBio 7:e02011-16]. The mutant CDPK1 (T145M) had reduced activity of transphosphorylat...
