Highly dynamic host actin reorganization around developing Plasmodium inside hepatocytes.

  • Autores: Afonso C, Almeida AP, Frischknecht F, Gardner R, Gomes-Santos CS, Henriques R, Itoe MA, Moita LF, Mota MM, Raquel H, Sepúlveda N, Simões PD

  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Highly+Dynamic+Host+Actin+Reorganization+around+Developing+Plasmodium+Inside+Hepatocytes

Plasmodium sporozoites are transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes and infect hepatocytes, where a single sporozoite replicates into thousands of merozoites inside a parasitophorous vacuole. The nature of the Plasmodium-host cell interface, as well as the interactions occurring between these two organisms, remains largely unknown.

A divergent insect-specific flavivirus that causes overt cytopathic effect in a mosquito cell-line

  • Journal: Microscopy and Microanalysis
  • Link: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=8964978&fileId=S1431927613001049

This work reports the initial characterization, including near full-length sequence analysis, of an ISF which seems to form a divergent lineage within the ISF radiation, as indicated by phylogenetic analysis based on ac multiple sequence alignment of the NS5 flavivirus coding sequence.

A serological survey was conducted in Macao, China, in 753 individuals, with the objective of looking for antibodies to the mosquito, Aedes albopictus (Skuse 1894) (Diptera: Culicidae), and to dengue, before the occurrence of any autochthonous dengue cases.

The Culex pipiens complex includes two widespread mosquito vector species, Cx. pipiens and Cx. quinquefasciatus. The distribution of these species varies in latitude, with the former being present in temperate regions and the latter in tropical and subtropical regions.

Mosquito surveys and West Nile virus screening in two different areas of southern Portugal, 2004-2007

Longitudinal mosquito surveys were carried out in southern Portugal from 2004 to 2007, in a wetland area (Comporta, District of Setúbal) and around the perimeter of a dam irrigation plant that created the largest artificial lake in Europe, 250 km(2) (Alqueva, Districts of Evora and Beja).

Anopheles atroparvus density modeling using MODIS NDVI in a former malarious area in Portugal.

Malaria is dependent on environmental factors and considered as potentially re-emerging in temperate regions. Remote sensing data have been used successfully for monitoring environmental conditions that influence the patterns of such arthropod vector-borne diseases.

Feeding patterns of molestus and pipiens forms of Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae) in a region of high hybridization

  • Autores: Almeida AP, Arez E, Calderón I, Donnelly MJ, Gomes B, Pinho L, Pinto J, Sousa CA, Vicente JL
  • Ano de Publicação: 2013
  • Journal: Parasites and Vectors
  • Link: http://www.parasitesandvectors.com/content/6/1/93

Two biological forms of the mosquito Culex pipiens s.s., denoted pipiens and molestus, display behavioural differences that may affect their role as vectors of arboviruses. In this study, the feeding patterns of molestus and pipiens forms were investigated in Comporta (Portugal), where high levels of inter-form admixture have been recorded.
