Phylogeography and invasion history of Aedes aegypti, the Dengue and Zika mosquito vector in Cape Verde islands (West Africa)

  • Autores: Salgueiro P, Serrano C, Gomes B, Alves J, Sousa CA, Abecasis A, Pinto J
  • Ano de Publicação: 2019

Aedes‐borne arboviruses have spread globally with outbreaks of vast impact on human populations and health systems. The West African archipelago of Cape Verde had its first outbreak of Dengue in 2009, at the time the largest recorded in Africa, and was one of the few African countries affected by the Zika virus epidemic. Aedes aegypti was the […]

Limited genomic divergence between intraspecific forms of Culex pipiens under different ecological pressures

  • Autores: Gomes B, Wilding CS, Weetman D, Sousa CA, Novo MT, Savage H, Almeida APG, Pinto J, Donnelly MJ

  • Journal: BMC Evolutionary Biology

Divergent selection can be a major driver of ecological speciation. In insects of medical importance, understanding the speciation process is both of academic interest and public health importance. In the West Nile virus vector Culex pipiens, intraspecific pipiens and molestus forms vary in ecological and physiological traits. Populations of each form appear to share recent common […]

Control of Vector-Borne Human Parasitic Diseases

  • Autores: Diaz-Albiter H, Genta F, Gomes B, Salgueiro P
  • Ano de Publicação: 2016
  • Journal: BioMed Research International

Vector-borne diseases (VBD) transmitted by arthropods are responsible for over 1 billion cases and 1 million deaths every year, corresponding to at least 17% of all infectious diseases in human populations [1]. Among them, we can find malaria, leishmaniasis, onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, Chagas disease, and African trypanosomiases, as well as several arboviral diseases (arthropod-borne virus) […]

Massive introgression drives species radiation at the range limit of Anopheles gambiae

  • Autores: Antao T, Bottà G, Caputo B, Clarkson CS, Dinis J, Donnelly MJ, Drury E, Gomes B, Kwiatkowski DP, Mancini E, Mead D, Miles A, Petrarca V, Pinto J, Pombi M, Rodrigues A, Sousa CA, Stalker J, Torre AD, Vicente JL, Weetman D
  • Ano de Publicação: 2017

Impacts of introgressive hybridisation may range from genomic erosion and species collapse to rapid adaptation and speciation but opportunities to study these dynamics are rare. We investigated the extent, causes and consequences of a hybrid zone between Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae in Guinea-Bissau, where high hybridisation rates appear to be stable at least since […]

The mosquito fauna of the western region of Spain with emphasis on ecological factors and the characterization of Culex pipiens forms

  • Autores: Almeida APG, Bravo-Barriga D, Calero-Bernal R, Frontera E, Gomes B, Pérez-Martín JE, Pinto J, Reina D, Serrano-Aguilera FJ
  • Ano de Publicação: 2017

This study updates the diversity, distribution, and seasonal trends of mosquitoes in a western region of Spain, assesses ecological determinants of Culex pipiens s.l., and determines form composition of Cx. pipiens s.s. POPULATIONS: A total of 1,495 mosquitoes of 16 species was collected during 2012-2013, of which Cx. pipiens s.l. and Cx. theileri were the […]
