Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are important causes of human disease nearly
worldwide. All arboviruses circulate among wild animals, and many cause disease after …

SUMMARY West Nile Virus was introduced into the Western Hemisphere during the late
summer of 1999 and has been causing significant and sometimes severe human diseases …

Studies on the vertical distribution patterns of arthropods in temperate deciduous forests
reveal highly stratified (ie, unevenly vertically distributed) communities. These patterns are …

Abstract In North America, the geographic distribution, ecology, and vectorial capacity of a
diverse assemblage of mosquito species belonging to the genus Culex determine patterns …

Mosquitoes within the Culex pipiens complex have been implicated as major vectors of West
Nile virus (WNV) in North America due to their seasonal abundance, vector competence and …

The increasing trend of mosquito-borne pathogens demands more accurate global
estimations of infection and transmission risks between mosquitoes. Here, we systematically …

We evaluated the blood-feeding patterns in several mosquito species that may serve as
vectors of disease agents in the northeastern United States. Blood-fed mosquitoes were …

The appearance of West Nile virus in New York in 1999 and the unprecedented panzootic
that followed, have stimulated a major research effort in the western hemisphere and a new …

Arboviruses are transmitted between arthropod vectors and vertebrate host. Arboviral
infection in mosquitoes is initiated when a mosquito feeds on a viremic host. Following …

The arthropod-borne Schmallenberg virus (SBV) emerged in Europe in the late
summer/autumn of 2011. SBV spread across the continent until 2012. This paper presents …
