Diagnostican dengue y fiebre del Nilo en monos de vida libre
(Oficina de Comunicación, Universidad Nacional, 2019-09)
La investigación Detección de anticuerpos contra flavivirus a lo largo del tiempo en primates no humanos
de vida libre de tierras bajas de Costa Rica, desarrollada por investigadores de la Escuela de Medicina Veterinaria ...
Neotropical bats that co-habit with humans function as dead-end hosts for dengue virus
(Public Library of Science (PLOS), 2017-05-18)
Several studies have shown Dengue Virus (DENV) nucleic acids and/or antibodies present
in Neotropical wildlife including bats, suggesting that some bat species may be susceptible
to DENV infection. Here we aim to elucidate ...
Serosurvey of nonhuman primates in Costa Rica at the human–wildlife interface reveals high exposure to flaviviruses
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing (MDPI), 2021-06-15)
Arthropod-borne viruses belonging to the flavivirus genus possess an enormous relevance
in public health. Neotropical non-human primates (NPs) have been proposed to be susceptible to
flavivirus infections due to their ...
Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) species composition in ovitraps from a Mesoamerican Tropical Montane Cloud Forest
(Oxford University Press, 2018-08-20)
Knowledge about mosquito species diversity at tropical montane cloud forests (TMCFs) in Mesoamerica is scarce.
Here, we present data on mosquito species richness from samples biweekly collected, from January to December
2017, ...
Serosurvey in two rural areas evidences recent and previously undetected WNV and SLEV circulation in Costa Rica
(medRxiv preprint, 2021-09-13)
West Nile virus (WNV) and Saint Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV) share similar virus transmission cycles that involve birds as amplifiers and mosquitoes as vectors. Mammals, including humans, are dead-end-hosts that may be ...
Effects of local and regional climatic fluctuations on dengue outbreaks in southern Taiwan
(PLOS ONE, 2017-06-02)
Background: Southern Taiwan has been a hotspot for dengue fever transmission since 1998. During 2014 and 2015, Taiwan experienced unprecedented dengue outbreaks and the causes are poorly understood. This study aims to ...
Nonlinear impacts of climatic variability on the density dependent regulation of an insect vector of disease
(Blackwell, 2011-09)
Aedes aegypti is one of the most common urban tropical mosquito species and an important vector of dengue,
chikungunya, and yellow fever viruses. It is also an organism with a complex life history where larval stages ...
New and common haplotypes shape genetic diversity in Asian tiger mosquito populations from Costa Rica and Panama
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae), is a vector of sev eral human pathogens. Ae. albopictus is also an invasive species that, over recent years, has expanded its
range out of its native ...
Globally invasive, withdrawing at home: Aedes albopictus and Aedes japonicus facing the rise of Aedes flavopictus
(Springer, 2016)
It has been suggested that climate change may have
facilitated the global expansion of invasive disease vectors,
since several species have expanded their range as tempera tures have warmed. Here, we present results from ...
Hot temperatures can force delayed mosquito outbreaks via sequential changes in Aedes aegypti demographic parameters in autocorrelated environments
(Elsevier B.V, 2014)
Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) is a common pantropical urban mosquito, vector of dengue, Yellow
Fever and chikungunya viruses. Studies have shown Ae. aegypti abundance to be associated with envi ronmental fluctuations, ...
