Intrinsic Factors Affecting Vector Competence of Mosquitoes for Arboviruses

TL;DR: This review focuses on vector competence or vector efficiency, and particular attention is given to recent studies that have contributed to knowledge of intrinsic factors and mechanisms that control the ability of mosquitoes to vector arboviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological Transmission of Arboviruses: Reexamination of and New Insights into Components, Mechanisms, and Unique Traits as Well as Their Evolutionary Trends

TL;DR: Discussion of the diverse range of theories proposed and observations made by many investigators was found to be highly valuable for sorting out the possible mechanism(s) of the emergence of arboviral diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and Fitness Changes Accompanying Adaptation of an Arbovirus to Vertebrate and Invertebrate Cells

TL;DR: The results suggest that alternating host transmission cycles constrain the evolutionary rates of arboviruses but not their fitness for either host alone.

Dynamics of flavivirus infection in mosquitoes.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the components of vectorial capacity, providing an update on current understanding of how selected aspects of mosquito biology, such as longevity, feeding behavior, oviposition habits, and nutrition of adult and immature stages, impact flavivirus transmission cycles and human disease.
