  abstract = {{T}he control of arthropod vectors of pathogens that affect human and animal health is important for the eradication of vector-borne diseases. {R}ecent evidences showed a reduction in the survival and/or fertility of mosquitoes, sand flies and poultry red mites fed in vitro with antibodies against the recombinant {A}edes albopictus akirin. {T}hese experiments were the first step toward the development of a multi-target arthropod vaccine. {I}n this study, we showed that the oviposition of {A}. albopictus and {P}hlebotomus perniciosus fed on mice vaccinated with recombinant {A}. albopictus akirin was reduced by 17% and 31%, respectively when compared to controls. {H}owever, {A}edes aegypti mosquitoes were not affected after feeding on vaccinated mice. {T}hese results showed that recombinant {A}. albopictus akirin could be used to vaccinate hosts for the control of mosquito and sand fly infestations and suggested new experiments to develop improved vaccine formulations.},
