Genetics of Insect Vector Competence for Arboviruses

  • Chapter
Advances in Disease Vector Research

Part of the book series: Advances in Disease Vector Research ((VECTOR,volume 10))

Abstract

Ever since arthropods were first incriminated as vectors of disease, medical and veterinary entomologists have recognized that identification of the particular arthropod species transmitting a disease agent is critical for understanding disease epidemiology and for effective disease control. As a result of this recognition, between or interspecies variation in vector ability is well accepted. As a first step, it remains critically important to identify those species that are vectors of different pathogens.
