A total of 38 species mosquitoes the Culicidae family two subfamilies Anophelinae and Culicinae belonging to 6 genera, were identified on territory Kharkiv Region from 2009 2019. Dirofilaria larvae found in 932 insects, which was 4.46 % surveyed mosquitoes. The prevalence infection female by dirofilaria ± 0.24 %, while mean intensity dirofilariae 5.4 2.1. Infection with is currently detected 11...

In order to document the diversity and distribution of mosquitoes inhabiting Querétaro State México, collection trips were conducted in all physiographic regions sub-regions state (Sierra Madre Oriental, Central Plateau, Neo-Volcanic Axis). addition, mosquito specimens collected deposited Collection Arthropods Medical Importance (CAIM) re-examined. A total 2718 (570 larvae, 384 larval exuviae, ...

Background: Mosquito galactose-specific C-type lectins (mosGCTLs), such as mosGCTL-1, act ligands to facilitate the invasion of flaviviruses like West Nile virus (WNV). WNV interacts with mosGCTL-1 Aedes aegypti (Culicidae) and facilitates this virus. Nevertheless, there is no data about role a transmission-blocking vaccine candidate in Culex pipiens, most abundant Culicinae mosquito temperate ...

Aedes aegypti and Anopheles gambiae are among the best-characterized mosquito species within the Culicinae and Anophelinae mosquito clades which diverged ∼150 million years ago. Despite this evolutionary distance, the olfactory systems of these mosquitoes exhibit similar morphological and physiological adaptations. Paradoxically, mosquito odorant receptors, which lie at the heart of chemosensor...

Lymphatic filariasis is a vector-borne health problem that has been focally endemic in Egypt for centuries. The chief vectors of transmission are Culicinae species. Control measures in the form of mass drug administration of DEC citrate treatment have been implemented in Nile delta for almost a decade. This study aimed to identify the prevalent mosquito species in endemic areas in Giza and Qual...

The phylogenetic relationships of Culicidae native to the northeastern United States were investigated by analyzing small subunit ribosomal DNA (18S rDNA) sequences obtained from 39 species representing nine genera. Molecular phylogenies were consistent with traditional classifications based on morphological characters except for the placements of Psorophora Robineau-Desvoidy and Uranotaenia Ly...

The genus Flavivirus includes a range of mosquito-specific viruses in addition to well-known medically important arboviruses. Isolation and comprehensive genomic analyses mosquitoes collected Bolivia resulted the identification three novel flavivirus species. Psorophora (PSFV) was isolated from albigenu . coding sequence PSFV polyprotein shares 60 % identity with that Aedes -associated lineage ...

During a research project aimed at the study of the Culicinae fauna of Gabon and carried out in the National Park of La Lopé, we captured an unknown sandfly male specimen (genus Phlebotomus) by CDC miniature light trap belonging to a new species for Science. Furthermore, the originality of his genitalia does not allow us to include this species in one of the existing subgenus, thus in this pape...

17 The Flavivirus genus encompasses several arboviruses of public health significance 18 such as dengue, yellow fever, and Zika viruses. It also includes insect-specific flaviviruses 19 (ISFs) that are only capable of infecting insect hosts. The vast majority of mosquito-infecting 20 flaviviruses have been associated with mosquito species of the Aedes and Culex genera in the 21 Culicinae subfam...

In this study, two mitochondrial genes, cyt b and ND5, and the D2 expansion segment of the 28S nuclear ribosomal gene were used to reconstruct a phylogeny of the mosquito subfamily Anophelinae. The ingroup consisted of all three genera of Anophelinae and five of six subgenera of Anopheles. Six genera of Culicinae were used as the outgroup. Extreme conservation at the protein level coupled with ...
