Isolation and characterization of the RanGAP gene in the mosquito Aedes aegypti.

Phylogenetic Analysis of Aedes aegypti Based on Mitochondrial ND4 Gene Sequences in Almadinah, Saudi Arabia

Background: Aedes aegypti is the main vector of the yellow fever and dengue virus. This mosquito has become the major indirect cause of morbidity and mortality of the human worldwide. Dengue virus activity has been reported recently in the western areas of Saudi Arabia. There is no vaccine for dengue virus until now, and the control of the disease depends on the control of the vector. Objectiv...

Transmission of African Horse-Sickness by Means of Mosquito Bites and Replication of the Virus in Aedes aegypti

Characterization of dengue virus in Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus spp. of mosquitoes: A study in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

Dengue is a vector-borne disease caused by dengue virus. According to the recent report of CDC that one-third population of the world are at high risk with Dengue fever. The prevalence of the dengue hemorrhagic fever was found more in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Aedes mosquitoes was reported as the main cause of transmission of dengue virus. So the current study was planned ...

Isolation and characterization of densonucleosis virus from Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and its distribution in India.

OBJECTIVES Mosquito densonucleosis viruses (DNVs) are known to persistently infect the insect cell line and mosquito population in nature, causing mortality in mosquitoes. Here we report the isolation and characterization of a DNV from Aedes aegypti and its distribution among different Ae. aegypti populations from India. METHODS We screened Ae. aegypti mosquito populations from different stat...

Molecular cloning and characterization of the complete acetylcholinesterase gene (Ace1) from the mosquito Aedes aegypti with implications for comparative genome analysis.

Insensitive acetylcholinesterase (AChE) has been shown to be responsible for resistance to organophosphates and carbamates in a number of arthropod species. Some arthropod genomes contain a single Ace gene, while others including mosquitoes contain two genes, but only one confers insecticide resistance. Here we report the isolation of the full-length cDNA and characterization of the complete ge...
