Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will cover the most important diseases and vectors, including the microbiota of insects. These include the interaction of arboviruses and mosquitoes, viruses and midges, plague bacteria and fleas, malaria parasites and mosquitoes, Leishmania and sandflies, Trypanosoma brucei and tsetse, and Trypanosoma cruzi and triatomines.
All authors are well known in the scientific community and have published articles on their respective topics. Reviews, original research, and communications focussing on interactions of Borrelia and ticks, interactions of bacteria/viruses and ticks (without Borrelia), interactions of filarial helminths and mosquitoes and interactions of Onchocerca and blackflies will be welcome.
