Correction: Frequency of co-seropositivities for certain pathogens and their relationship with clinical and histopathological changes and parasite load in dogs infected with Leishmania infantum.

Light and dark cycles modify the expression of clock genes in the ovaries of Aedes aegypti in a noncircadian manner.

Circadian oscillators (i.e., circadian clocks) are essential to producing the circadian rhythms observed in virtually all multicellular organisms.

Anti-Brucella canis antibodies in dogs naturally infected with Leishmania infantum and associated histological alterations in the genital tract.

In canine visceral leishmaniasis, coinfections can aggravate the disease. Our aim was to investigate Brucella canis in dogs infected with Leishmania infantum. One hundred and six L.

Off with their heads: analysis of the circadian clock genes expression in the body of .

The circadian clock of mosquitoes can influence physiological and behavioral processes linked to disease transmission. Currently, we know how clock genes are expressed in the head of the in different light and temperature regimens, but we still do not know anything about the expression of these genes in the body. The present work aims to contribute to this understanding.

The Summer Is Coming: and Genes Are Influenced by Temperature Cycles and May Affect Locomotor Activity.

Mosquitoes exhibit activity rhythms, crucial for the transmission of pathogens, under the control of a circadian clock. is one of the world's leading vectors. For decades, several studies have linked the rise in ambient temperature with the increase in their activity.

Frequency, active infection and load of Leishmania infantum and associated histological alterations in the genital tract of male and female dogs.

Visceral leishmaniasis caused by the protozoan Leishmania infantum is a zoonosis. The domestic dog is the primary reservoir in urban areas. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency, active infection and load of L.

Zika infection decreases Aedes aegypti locomotor activity but does not influence egg production or viability.

Background: Zika has emerged as a new public health threat after the explosive epidemic in Brazil in 2015. It is an arbovirus transmitted mainly by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The knowledge of physiological, behavioural and biological features in virus-infected vectors may help the understanding of arbovirus transmission dynamics and elucidate their influence in vector capacity.

Effects of Light and Temperature on Daily Activity and Clock Gene Expression in Two Mosquito Disease Vectors.

Most organisms feature an endogenous circadian clock capable of synchronization with their environment. The most well-known synchronizing agents are light and temperature. The circadian clock of mosquitoes, vectors of many pathogens, drives important behaviors related to vectoral capacity, including oviposition, host seeking, and hematophagy.
