The medically important mosquito speciesAedes aegyptihas a large genome size, a high transposon load which includes Miniature Inverted repeat Transposable Elements (MITES) and an expansion of the piRNA biogenesis genes. Studies of transgenic lines ofAe. aegyptihave indicated that introduced transposons ...
aegypti with a ratio of 1:2. This is the first report on the presence of Ae. albopictus in Yemen. The proximity, ongoing human activity and transportation exchanges between Al Mahrah and Oman may have played a role in the introduction of this species. Intensive efforts should be undertaken ...
While this species of mosquito first became infamous for transmitting yellow fever, Aedes aegypti carries many other infectious viruses such as Dengue fever, Chikungunya, West Nile virus and Zika. The 2015-16 Zika epidemic has primarily been caused by the spread of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. ...
The identity of the DH44 receptor(s) in the Malpighian tubule is unknown in any mosquito species. We show thatVectorBase gene ID AAEL008292 encodes the DH44 receptor (GPRDIH1) most highly expressed in Malpighian tubules. Sequence analysis and transcript localization indicate that AaegGPRDIH1 ...
A globally invasive form of the mosquito Aedes aegypti specializes in biting humans, making it an efficient disease vector1. Host-seeking female mosquitoes strongly prefer human odour over the odour of animals2,3, but exactly how they distinguish between the two is not known. Vertebrate odours ar...
On the 17th February 2004, the mosquito species Aedes aegypti, a vector for dengue fever, was found in routine mosquito trapping in Tennant Creek. This was the first time since the 1950's that Aedes aegypti had been recorded in the NT. The discovery of Aedes aegypti lead to a massive sur...

epidemics of chikungunya and dengue have been reported over the last 20 years, notably in Italy (2007, 2017)4,5, France (2010, 2017)6,7and Croatia (2010)8. Another mosquito species responsible for arbovirus transmission isAedes aegypti, previously present in Europe until mid-20thcentury and ...
Invasive mosquito species (IMS) and their associated mosquito-borne diseases are emerging in Europe. In Belgium, the first detection of Aedes albopictus (Skuse 1894) occurred in 2000 and of Aedes japonicus japonicus (Theobald 1901) in 2002
