Extract

Evidence from many sources indicates that, in several parasite–vector systems, flight ability, fecundity or gonotrophic concordance of vectors, are affected by parasites (including bacteria, rickettsia and viruses) and in some cases parasites cause well-documented pathogenic effects (see reviews, for example, by Lavoipierre (1958a) and Hawking & Worms (1961) on filaria; Molyneux (1977, 1983) for trypanosomatids; Killick-Kendrick (1979) for Leishmania).
