Summary: This study investigated the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I of four populations of Aedes aegypti from Benin, and used wing morphometric analyses to explore population structure. The results showed significant genetic and morphological diversity among Ae. aegypti populations in Benin, providing important biological characteristics regarding their potential to transmit viruses.

Summary: Aedes aegypti, the main mosquito vector for dengue and other arboviral infectious diseases, has developed high levels of pyrethroid resistance in populations collected from Vietnam and Cambodia. This resistance could pose a serious threat to the control of dengue fever and other Aedes-borne infectious diseases.

Summary: A new study has discovered a mosquito salivary protein that binds directly to a cuticular partner during biting, leading to reshaping of the mosquito mouthparts, increased salivation and probing, and enhanced blood-feeding efficiency. By impacting mosquito-host interactions, this finding could have implications for pathogen transmission.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic diversity and differentiation of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus in Hainan Island and the Leizhou Peninsula, China. The results showed that Ae. albopictus had higher genetic diversity than Ae. aegypti. These findings are important for controlling arboviral diseases transmitted by mosquitoes and may support the elimination of Ae. aegypti in China.

Summary: Mosquitoes are major vectors of diseases such as malaria and dengue, and new strategies for controlling mosquito populations involve genetic manipulation techniques with potential technical challenges. This report demonstrates successful transgenerational genetic transformation of Aedes aegypti using CRISPR-Cas9, while Anopheles albimanus did not survive transgenic inheritance.

Summary: Dengue is a major health problem in the Philippines, and the genetic structure of Aedes aegypti populations varies between different locations and seasons, with human activities and environmental factors playing a significant role in genetic differentiation.

Summary: Genetic variability and differentiation among 12 Ae. aegypti populations in Madurai city, Southern India were investigated, showing moderate levels of genetic diversity and roughly dividing populations into two genetic clusters: main city populations and border populations. Significant positive correlation between genetic and geographic distance was observed among populations, with less migration between the two groups. This study provides insights for effective vector control in urban areas of India.

Summary: Dengue is becoming an increasing global threat in rapidly growing urban areas. This study analyzes nine years of dengue case data in Medellin, Colombia and finds that changes in accessibility and usage of public transit are correlated with changes in the spread and magnitude of localized outbreaks. Locations closer to and with greater utilization of public transit have higher dengue incidence, with a stronger effect observed in lower socioeconomic status areas. These results emphasize the importance of public health services in conjunction with urban growth.

Summary: This study demonstrated the strong larvicidal activity of three formulations extracted from Lavender angustifolia against Aedesaegypti larvae, vectors of the dengue virus. The ethanolic extract of lavender crude showed the highest efficacy, followed by gel and essential oil. The natural lavender crude can be considered as an eco-friendly alternative to chemical products for controlling vector-borne epidemic diseases.

Summary: The extensive use of photostable 2nd generation pyrethroids for malaria and dengue vector control has led to widespread pyrethroid resistance in Aedes aegypti in southern Vietnam. The L982W mutation in the voltage-sensitive sodium channel has been identified as a significant cause of high-pyrethroid resistance in Vietnamese Ae. aegypti.

Summary: The study synthesized eighty-nine N-aryl amide analogues and screened them for toxicity against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, with promising results showing some compounds to be as potent or even more potent than traditional insecticides. In addition to biological activity, structure-activity relationship analysis was conducted to guide future development efforts in using N-arylamides as spatially acting insecticides.

Summary: Diseases transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes are a growing global concern. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a strategy for controlling mosquito populations, and egg storage is essential in SIT programs. This study found that two moisturizing substances, hydrolyzed collagen and Hyalurosmooth(R), can prolong the viability of Aedes mosquito eggs, showing promise in mass rearing insect production for vector control.
