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 کاملPossible involvement of 5-lipoxygenase metabolite in itch-associated response of mosquito allergy in mice.
This study investigated endogenous mediators involved in mosquito allergy-associated itching in mice. An intradermal injection of an extract of mosquito salivary gland elicited marked scratching in sensitized mice. The 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor zileuton (100 mg/kg), the 5-lipoxygenase activating peptide inhibitor MK-886 (10 mg/kg), and the glucocorticoid betamethasone 17-valerate (3 mg/kg) inhib...
متن کاملRNA Interference for Mosquito and Mosquito-Borne Disease Control
RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool to silence endogenous mosquito and mosquito-borne pathogen genes in vivo. As the number of studies utilizing RNAi in basic research grows, so too does the arsenal of physiological targets that can be developed into products that interrupt mosquito life cycles and behaviors and, thereby, relieve the burden of mosquitoes on human health and well-being. A...
متن کاملThe mosquito holobiont: fresh insight into mosquito-microbiota interactions
The holobiont concept was first developed for coral ecosystems but has been extended to multiple organisms, including plants and other animals. Studies on insect-associated microbial communities have produced strong evidence that symbiotic bacteria play a major role in host biology. However, the understanding of these symbiotic relationships has mainly been limited to phytophagous insects, whil...
متن کاملExploiting mosquito sugar feeding to detect mosquito-borne pathogens.
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) represent a global public health problem, with dengue viruses causing millions of infections annually, while emerging arboviruses, such as West Nile, Japanese encephalitis, and chikungunya viruses have dramatically expanded their geographical ranges. Surveillance of arboviruses provides vital data regarding their prevalence and distribution that may be util...
