A free boundary problem for Aedes aegypti mosquito invasion
An advection–reaction–diffusion model with free boundary is proposed to investigate the invasive process of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. By analyzing the free boundary problem, we show that there are two main scenarios of invasive regime: vanishing regime or spreading regime, depending on a threshold in terms of model parameters. Once the mortality rate of the mosquito becomes large with a small s...
متن کاملFree flight of the mosquito Aedes aegypti
1 Summary High speed video observations of free flying male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the dengue and yellow fever vector, along with custom measurement methods, enable measurement of wingbeat frequency, body position and body orientation of mosquitoes during flight. We find these mosquitoes flap their wings at approximately 850 Hz. We also generate body yaw, body pitch and wing deviation measur...
متن کاملNeuropeptidomics of the mosquito Aedes aegypti.
Neuropeptidomic data were collected on the mosquito Ae. aegypti, which is considered the most tractable mosquito species for physiological and endocrine studies. The data were solely obtained by direct mass spectrometric profiling, including tandem fragmentation, of selected tissues from single specimens, which yielded a largely complete accounting of the putative bioactive neuropeptides; trunc...
متن کاملVariation in Aedes aegypti Mosquito Competence for Zika Virus Transmission
To test whether Zika virus has adapted for more efficient transmission by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, leading to recent urban outbreaks, we fed mosquitoes from Brazil, the Dominican Republic, and the United States artificial blood meals containing 1 of 3 Zika virus strains (Senegal, Cambodia, Mexico) and monitored infection, dissemination, and virus in saliva. Contrary to our hypothesis, Cambodia...
متن کاملGenetic distortion of sex ratio in a mosquito, Aedes aegypti.
N an organism heterozygous for a given pair of alleles, one generally expects I equal recovery of each allele in the products of gametogenesis. Genetic systems resulting in nonrandom recovery have stimulated considerable interest in recent years. The sex ratio may be the most obvious character for detection of aberrant segregation. Among the insects, numerous cases of abnormal sex ratios have b...
