TL;DR: This review provides an updated and concise summary of recent studies on mosquito antiviral immune responses, which is a key determinant for successful virus transmission and current mosquito transmission-blocking strategies that utilize genetically modified mosquitoes and Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes for resistance to pathogens.

TL;DR: Though mosquito innate immunity is a contributing factor to vector competence, it will not be discussed in this review and details of these factors will be instrumental in minimising transmission of alphaviral diseases.

TL;DR: It is shown that an integrated framework utilising both SSDMs and MSDMs can improve future mosquito-vector species distribution projections in Australia and is urged to encourage laboratory, field-based researchers and modellers to combine these modelling approaches.

TL;DR: It is found that Kenya is probably a sink rather than a source of MSV diversification and movement, and therefore, unlike Uganda, Kenya probably does not play a major role in the trans-continental dissemination of MSv-A1.

TL;DR: This study infers that TMV emerged around 1924 in Henan province, and suggests that Yunnan province is most probably both a source rather than a sink of TMV dispersal throughout China and a major thoroughfare of trans-China TMV movements.
