Immunological factor that affects Anopheles gambiae survival
(The American Mosquito Control Association, 1995)
High titers of antibodies against Anopheles gambiae midguts were produced in New Zealand rabbits to identify midgut targets for an antimosquito vaccine. The serum from one of 8 rabbits (designated R2B6) killed 71.6% (Abbott's ...
Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain': Using a bibliometric study to identify trends and knowledge gaps of vector-borne disease research in Oklahoma
(Society of Southwestern Entomologists, 2016-12)
Research on vector-borne diseases on the Great Plains has a rich and dynamic publication history. The aim of this study was to assess the publication trends in Oklahoma between 1965 and 2015 with a view to identifying ...
Invasive plants as foci of mosquito-borne pathogens: Red cedar in the southern Great Plains of the USA
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-10-05)
West Nile virus (WNV) is the most significant mosquito-borne disease affecting humans in the United States. Eastern redcedar (ERC) is a native encroaching plant in the southern Great Plains that greatly alters abiotic ...

Namibia has a rich history in veterinary health but little is known about the vector-borne diseases that affect companion dogs and cats. The aim of this review is to summarise the existing published and available unpublished ...
Quantitative synthesis of the role of birds in carrying ticks and tick-borne pathogens in North America
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-09-26)
Birds play a central role in the ecology of tick-borne pathogens. They expand tick populations and pathogens across vast distances and serve as reservoirs that maintain and amplify transmission locally. Research into the ...
Mosquito-borne parasites in the Great Plains: Searching for vectors of nematodes and avian malaria parasites
(Elsevier BV, 2021)
Vector-borne diseases in the United States have recently increased as a result of the changing nature of vectors, hosts, reservoirs, parasite/pathogens, and the ecological and environmental conditions. While most focus has ...
