Dynamics and diversity of bacteria associated with the disease vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus
Bennett, Kelly L.; Gómez-Martínez, Carmelo; Chin, Yamileth; Saltonstall, Kristin; McMillan, W. Owen; Rovira, Jose R.; Loaiza, Jose R. (2019-08-21)Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus develop in the same aquatic sites where they encounter microorganisms that infuence their life history and capacity to transmit human arboviruses. Some bacteria such as Wolbachia are ... -
Habitat disturbance and the organization of bacterial communities in Neotropical hematophagous arthropods
Bennett, Kelly L.; Almanza, Alejandro; McMillan, W. Owen; Saltonstall, Kristin; Vdovenko, Evangelina Lopez; Vinda, Jorge S.; Mejia, Luis; Driesse, Kaitlin; De Leon, Luis F.; Loaiza, Jose R. (2019-09-06)The microbiome plays a key role in the biology, ecology and evolution of arthropod vectors of human pathogens. Vector-bacterial interactions could alter disease transmission dynamics through modulating pathogen replication ... -
High infestation of invasive Aedes mosquitoes in used tires along the local transport network of Panama
Bennett, Kelly L.; Martínez, Carmelo Gómez; Almanza, Alejandro; Rovira, Jose R.; McMillan, W. Owen; Enriquez, Vanessa; Barraza, Elia; Diaz, Marcela; Sanchez‑Galan, Javier E.; Whiteman, Ari; Gittens, Rolando A.; Loaiza, Jose R. (2019-05-27)Background: The long‑distance dispersal of the invasive disease vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus has intro‑ duced arthropod‑borne viruses into new geographical regions, causing a significant medical and economic ... -
The impact of biological invasion and genomic local adaptation on the geographical distribution of Aedes aegypti in Panama
Bennett, Kelly L.; McMillan, W. Owen; Loaiza, Jose R. (2019-01-01)Local adaptation is an important consideration when predicting arthropod-borne disease risk because it can impact on vector population fitness and persistence. However, the extent that vector populations are adapted to ... -
Maternal invasion history of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus into the Isthmus of Panama: Implications for the control of emergent viral disease agents
Eskildsen, Gilberto A.; Loaiza, Jose R.; Smith, Octavio; Miller, Matthew J.; Bennet, Kelly L.; McMillan, W. Owen; Rovira, Jose R. (2018-03-26)Despite an increase in dengue outbreaks and the arrival of chikungunya and Zika disease in Panama, studies on the demographic history of the invasive Aedes mosquitoes that are the principle vectors of these diseases are ...
