    Am. J. Trop. Med.

Jeffrey R. Powell* Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut Abstract. Although numerous viruses are transmitted by mosquitoes, four have caused the most human suffering over the centuries and continuing today. These are the viruses causing yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika fevers. Africa is clearly the ancestral home of yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika viruses and likely the dengue virus. Several species of mosquitoes, primarily in the genus Aedes, have been transmitting these viruses and their direct ancestors among African primates for millennia allowing for coadaptation among viruses, mosquitoes, and primates. One African primate (humans) and one African Aedes mosquito (Aedes aegypti) have escaped Africa and spread around the world. Thus it is not surprising that this native African mosquito is the most efficient vector of these native African viruses to this native African primate. This makes it likely that when the next disease-causing virus comes out of Africa, Ae. aegypti will be the major vector to humans. Mosquito-borne viruses (arboviruses) have been afflicting The timeline for the spread of Ae. aegypti is reasonably clear humans for millennia and continue to cause immeasurable and is consistent with epidemiologic records.

Knowledge about transmission remains incomplete, especially concerning potential transmission in geographic areas in which it has not yet been introduced. To identify unknown vectors of Zika, we developed a data-driven model linking vector species and the Zika virus via vector-virus trait combinations that confer a propensity toward associations in an ecological network connecting flaviviruses and their mosquito vectors. Our model predicts that thirty-five species may be able to transmit the virus, seven of which are found in the continental United States, including Culex quinquefasciatus and Cx. pipiens. We suggest that empirical studies prioritize these species to confirm predictions of vector competence, enabling the correct identification of populations at risk for transmission within the United States. *For correspondence: mvevans@ DOI: 10.7554/eLife.22053.001 uga.edu Competing interests: The authors declare that no competing interests exist.

    William Hepburn Russell Lumsden Scotland Has a Proud History of Nurturing Distinguished Contributors to Our Understanding of Disease in the Tropics

    William Hepburn Russell Lumsden Scotland has a proud history of nurturing distinguished contributors to our understanding of disease in the tropics. Among these must be numbered Russell Lumsden, medical entomologist, virologist and parasitologist, but above all a man with boundless enthusiasm for the entire natural world. Russell became a keen naturalist while still at school. Born in Forfar on 27 March, 1914, he moved with his family to Darlington in 1919 when his father became Schools’ Medical Officer for Durham County. He was educated at the Queen Elizabeth Grammar School there, but in 1931 he was awarded a Carnegie Scholarship to read Zoology at Glasgow University under Sir John Graham Kerr. Russell took part in successive student expeditions to Canna in the Inner Hebrides and wrote detailed reports on the entomology of these and on various projects in marine biology. His dedication to natural history is splendidly illustrated by a paper in The Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine, recounting how, while sunning himself on a jetty at Lake Windermere after swimming, he found an old nail and kept a tally of the different prey of pond skaters by making scratches on the woodwork. After graduation with First Class Honours, Russell went on to qualify in medicine at Glasgow and wrote articles for Surgo, the Glasgow University Medical Journal, acting as its editor in 1938. His companion in all his student activities was Alexander J Haddow, (later FRSE, FRS): both were later to become world authorities on mosquito- borne disease. After receiving his medical degree in 1938, Russell was awarded a Medical Research Council Fellowship for work at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.

    Zika Virus in Southeastern Senegal: Survival of the Vectors and the Virus

    Diouf et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2020) 20:371 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-020-05093-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Zika virus in southeastern Senegal: survival of the vectors and the virus during the dry season Babacar Diouf*, Alioune Gaye, Cheikh Tidiane Diagne, Mawlouth Diallo and Diawo Diallo* Abstract Background: Zika virus (ZIKV, genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae) is transmitted mainly by Aedes mosquitoes. This virus has become an emerging concern of global public health with recent epidemics associated to neurological complications in the pacific and America. ZIKV is the most frequently amplified arbovirus in southeastern Senegal. However, this virus and its adult vectors are undetectable during the dry season. The aim of this study was to investigate how ZIKV and its vectors are maintained locally during the dry season. Methods: Soil, sand, and detritus contained in 1339 potential breeding sites (tree holes, rock holes, fruit husks, discarded containers, used tires) were collected in forest, savannah, barren and village land covers and flooded for eggs hatching. The emerging larvae were reared to adult, identified, and blood fed for F1 production. The F0 and F1 adults were identified and tested for ZIKV by Reverse Transcriptase-Real time Polymerase Chain Reaction. Results: A total of 1016 specimens, including 13 Aedes species, emerged in samples collected in the land covers and breeding sites investigated. Ae. aegypti was the dominant species representing 56.6% of this fauna with a high plasticity. Ae. furcifer and Ae. luteocephalus were found in forest tree holes, Ae. taylori in forest and village tree holes, Ae. vittatus in rock holes.

    The Zika Virus Species of Aedes Mosquito, Aedes Furcifer 109 (19.46

    Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences Volume 10, Number 1, 2018 ISSN: 2277-0062 POTENTIAL ZIKA VIRUS VECTORS OF KAUGAMA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, JIGAWA STATE, NIGERIA Ahmed, U.A. Department of Biological Science, Sule Lamido University, Kafin Hausa, Jigawa State, Nigeria Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Zika virus strain responsible for the outbreak in Brazil has been detected in Africa for the first time. This information will help African countries to re-evaluate their level of risk and adopt increase their levels of preparedness. These should include the study of potential vectors responsible for the disease. Identification of potential Zika virus vectors in Kaugama revealed the presence of five species of Aedes mosquito, Aedes furcifer 109 (19.46%), A. aegypti 92 (16.43%), A. africanus 132 (23.57%), A. albopictus 112 (20.00%) and A. taylori 115 (20.54%). Aedes africanus was the most abundant species encountered. Analysis of species abundance showed no significant difference (p>0.05). The abundance of the vectors was suggested to be due to large number of breeding places in the study area and probably improper mosquito control. Detection of Zika virus from the collected vectors is of great importance, serological detection of specific antibodies against Zika virus from the inhabitants is valuable tool to prove them as vectors and it is good to eradicate the potential vectors from the area. Keywords: Kaugama, Potential, Species, Vectors, Zika virus INTRODUCTION Zika virus is an emerging mosquito-borne virus that was first identified in Uganda in 1947 in rhesus monkeys. Its name 58 Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences Volume 10, Number1, 2018 comes from Zika forest of Uganda.
