Insect Vectors of Phytoplasmas
The principal means of dissemination of phytoplasmas is by insect vectors. The interactions between phytoplasmas and their insect vectors are, in some cases, very specific, as is suggested by the complex sequence of events that has to take place and the complex form of recognition that this entails between the two species. The commonest vectors, or at least those best known, are members of the ...
متن کاملBird movement predicts Buggy Creek virus infection in insect vectors.
Predicting the spatial foci of zoonotic diseases is a major challenge for epidemiologists and disease ecologists. Migratory birds are often thought to be responsible for introducing some aviozoonotic pathogens such as West Nile and avian influenza viruses to a local area, but most information on how bird movement correlates with virus prevalence is anecdotal or indirect. We report that the prev...

lower incidences and with increasingly longer latency periods to leukemia death (7). The incidence of leukemia in the origi nal, virus-infected females (injected at birth) was low (35%) with an average latency period of 240 days. The incidence of leukemia in 4 successive generations dropped from 22% to 4%, and the latency periods increased from 372 to 462 days. The incidence of Friend virus dis...
متن کاملChikungunya virus and its mosquito vectors.
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), a mosquito-borne alphavirus of increasing public health significance, has caused large epidemics in Africa and the Indian Ocean basin; now it is spreading throughout the Americas. The primary vectors of CHIKV are Aedes (Ae.) aegypti and, after the introduction of a mutation in the E1 envelope protein gene, the highly anthropophilic and geographically widespread Ae. al...
