Liaisons dangereuses: Cross-border gene flow and dispersal of insecticide resistance-associated genes in the mosquito aedes aegypti from Brazil and French Guiana

BACKGROUND: In recent years, South America has suffered the burden of continuous high impact outbreaks of dengue, chikungunya and Zika. Aedes aegypti is the main mosquito vector of these arboviruses and its control is the only solution to reduce transmission. OBJECTIVES: In order to improve vector control it is essential to study mosquito population genetics […]

Second WIN International Conference on “integrated approaches and innovative tools for combating insecticide resistance in vectors of arboviruses”, October 2018, Singapore

  • Authors: Corbel V, Durot C, Achee NL, Chandre F, Coulibaly MB, David JP, Devine GJ, Dusfour I, Fonseca DM, Griego J, Juntarajumnong W, Lenhart A, Kasai S, Martins AJ, Moyes C, Ng LC, Pinto J, Pompon JF, Müller P, Raghavendra K, Roiz D, Vatandoost H, Vontas J, Weetman D

The past 40 years have seen a dramatic emergence of epidemic arboviral diseases transmitted primarily by mosquitoes. The frequency and magnitude of the epidemics, especially those transmitted by urban Aedes species, have progressively increased over time, accelerating in the past 10 years. To reduce the burden and threat of vector-borne diseases, the World Health Organization (WHO) has […]

Alternative strategies for mosquito-borne arbovirus control

Background Mosquito-borne viruses—such as Zika, chikungunya, dengue fever, and yellow fever, among others—are of global importance. Although vaccine development for prevention of mosquito-borne arbovirus infections has been a focus, mitigation strategies continue to rely on vector control. However, vector control has failed to prevent recent epidemics and arrest expanding geographic distribution of key arboviruses, such […]

International workshop on insecticide resistance in vectors of arboviruses, December 2016, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

  • Authors: Achee NL, Chandre F, Corbel V, Coulibaly MB, David JP, Durot C, Dusfour I, Fonseca DM, Fouque F, Grieco J, Juntarajumnong W, Kasai S, Lenhart A, Martins AJ, Moyes C, Müller P, Ng LC, Pinto J, Raghavendra K, Vatandoost H, Velayudhan R, Vontas J, Weetman D

Vector-borne diseases transmitted by insect vectors such as mosquitoes occur in over 100 countries and affect almost half of the world’s population. Dengue is currently the most prevalent arboviral disease but chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever show increasing prevalence and severity. Vector control, mainly by the use of insecticides, play a key role in disease […]

Contemporary status of insecticide resistance in the major Aedes vectors of arboviruses infecting humans

  • Authors: Corbel V, David JP, Dusfour I, Koou SY, Martins AJ, Moyes CL, Ng LC, Pinto J, Raghavendra K, Vincent Corbel, Vontas J, Weetman D

Both Aedes aegytpi and Ae. albopictus are major vectors of 5 important arboviruses (namely chikungunya virus, dengue virus, Rift Valley fever virus, yellow fever virus, and Zika virus), making these mosquitoes an important factor in the worldwide burden of infectious disease. Vector control using insecticides coupled with larval source reduction is critical to control the transmission of these viruses to […]
