Mosquito Ovitrap Data from Baltimore City and County (2011-2016)
Mosquitoes are an important component of insect biodiversity across all ecosystems. As invertebrates, they are sensitive to abiotic conditions during both aquatic juvenile and terrestrial adult stages. The data here were collected to identify how mosquito species composition, phenology, and peak population abundances are influenced by changes in abiotic and biotic conditions along an urbanization gradient from residential Baltimore City to forested Baltimore County. Many of the sample sites were aligned with the LTER's stream sampling along the Gwynns Falls, with additional sites located in community gardens in residential neighborhoods near Watershed 263.
Data from: Blockade of dengue virus transmission from viremic blood to Aedes aegypti mosquitoes using human monoclonal antibodies
Background <p class="CxSpFirst">Dengue is the most prevalent arboviral disease of humans. Virus neutralizing antibodies are likely to be critical for clinical immunity after vaccination or natural infection. A number of human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have previously been characterized as able to neutralize the infectivity of dengue virus (DENV) for mammalian cells in cell-culture systems.</p> <p class="CxSpLast"> </p> Methodology/Principle findings <p class="CxSpFirst">We tested the capacity of 12 human mAbs, each of which had previously been shown to neutralize DENV in cell-culture systems, to abrogate the infectiousness of dengue patient viremic blood for mosquitoes. Seven of the twelve mAbs (1F4, 14c10, 2D22, 1L12, 5J7, 747(4)B7, 753(3)C10), almost all of which target quaternary epitopes, inhibited DENV infection of <i>Ae. aegypti</i>. The mAbs 14c10, 747(4)B7 and 753(3)C10 could all inhibit transmission of DENV in low microgram per mL concentrations. An Fc-disabled variant of 14c10 was as potent as its parent mAb.</p> <p class="CxSpLast"> </p> Conclusions/Significance <p class="CxSpFirst">The results demonstrate that mAbs can neutralize infectious DENV derived from infected human cells, in the matrix of human blood. Coupled with previous evidence of their ability to prevent DENV infection of mammalian cells, such mAbs could be considered attractive antibody classes to elicit with dengue vaccines, or alternatively, for consideration as therapeutic candidates.</p>

Costa Rica mosquito community species occurrence and site environmental data, July - August 2017
<p>Land use change is an important driver of both biodiversity loss and zoonotic disease transmission in tropical countryside landscapes. Developing solutions for protecting biodiversity, public health, and livelihoods in working landscapes requires understanding the spatial scales at which habitat characteristics such as land cover shape biodiversity, especially for arthropods that transmit pathogens. A growing body of evidence shows that species richness for many taxa correlates with tree cover at small spatial scales of <100 m, indicating that local tree cover management is a promising conservation tool. To investigate whether mosquito species richness, community composition, and presence of specific disease vector species respond to tree cover—and if so, whether at spatial scales similar to other taxa—we surveyed mosquito communities along a tree cover gradient and across agricultural, residential, and forested land uses in rural southern Costa Rica. We found that tree cover was both positively correlated with mosquito species richness and negatively correlated with the presence of the common invasive dengue vector <em>Aedes albopictus</em>, particularly at small spatial scales of 80 – 200m<em>. </em>Beyond tree cover, land use type predicted community composition and <em>Ae. albopictus </em>presence, but not species richness. The results suggest that preservation and expansion of tree cover at local scales can protect biodiversity for a wide range of taxa and also confer protection against disease vector occurrence.</p>
Mosquitoes escape looming threats by actively steering into the bow-wave induced by the attacker
<p>To detect and escape a threat, night flying insects must rely on other senses than vision alone. Here we study how anthropophilic malaria mosquitoes can escape a swatting hand in the dark using high-speed videography and numerical simulations. We show that these night flying mosquitoes escape looming objects by using the object-induced airflow in two ways. They first actively steer into the <a>bow-wave</a><span><span> </span></span> produced by the attacker, and then passively travel with this bow-wave away from the attacker; these two aspects explain two-thirds and one-third of their escape accelerations, respectively. Thus, flying mosquitoes being attacked in the dark rely both on airflow-sensing to trigger their escape, and on attacker-induced airflow to maximize their escape performance. Similar escape strategies are probably common among small lightweight insects.</p> <div> <div> <div></div> </div> </div>

FIGURE 2 The statistical parsimony network showing the genetic relationships between Culex asteliae (n = 3), Culex pervigilans (n = 15) and Culex rotoruae (n = 3) based on their (a) COI sequences and (b) ITS2 sequences derived from the current study. Each COI/ITS2 singleton sequence is represented by one circle with size proportional to their frequency. The colours refer to the mosquito species to which each individual belongs. Small white circles connecting coloured circles indicate 'missing' or hypothetical singletons. The line linked two circles indicates one basepair difference on the sequence.
