Visualizing Efficacy of Pesticides Against Disease Vector Mosquitoes in the Field

9.0K
The efficacy of public health pesticides targeting nuisance and disease-vector insects is not uniform across different ecological zones. Here we present a system of techniques using captive vector insects as sentinels for pesticide efficacy to derive electronic maps supporting the standard evaluation of pesticides across multiple...

Mechanical Manipulation of Neurons to Control Axonal Development

10.8K
Application and direct measurements of forces on neurons in the 2-1000 microdyne range are achieved with high precision using calibrated glass needles. This methodology can be used to control and measure several aspects of axonal development, including axonal initiation, axonal tension, velocity of axonal elongation, and force...

Arbovirus Infections As Screening Tools for the Identification of Viral Immunomodulators and Host Antiviral Factors

7.4K
Here, we present the protocols to identify 1) virus-encoded immunomodulators that promote arbovirus replication and 2) eukaryotic host factors that restrict arbovirus replication. These fluorescence- and luminescence-based methods allow researchers to rapidly obtain quantitative readouts of arbovirus replication in simplistic assays with low signal-to-noise...

Summary

Decreasing mosquito tolerance to arboviruses, not increasing resistance, offers a sustainable disease control strategy. This approach aims to reduce vector survival and select for less transmissible arbovirus variants.

Area of Science:

  • Vector-borne disease ecology
  • Arbovirology
  • Evolutionary biology

Background:

  • Mosquito-borne arboviruses pose a significant global health threat.
  • Traditional vector control methods are often insufficient to prevent arbovirus transmission.
  • Novel entomological interventions are needed to control arbovirus-carrying mosquito populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and theoretically evaluate a novel strategy for controlling mosquito-borne arboviruses.
  • To compare the evolutionary sustainability of reducing mosquito tolerance versus increasing mosquito resistance to arboviruses.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a theoretical framework to model the evolutionary dynamics of mosquito-arbovirus interactions.
  • Analyzed the potential outcomes of two distinct intervention strategies: increasing mosquito resistance and decreasing mosquito tolerance.

Main Results:

  • Increasing mosquito resistance is predicted to drive the evolution of resistant arbovirus strains.
  • Decreasing mosquito tolerance is predicted to increase infected mosquito mortality.
  • Reduced tolerance is expected to select for arbovirus variants with lower transmissibility.

Conclusions:

  • Reducing mosquito tolerance to arbovirus infection is a more evolutionarily sustainable control strategy.
  • This strategy promotes the death of infected vectors, leading to the selection of attenuated arboviruses.
  • This approach offers a promising alternative to traditional methods for managing arbovirus diseases.
