An end-to-end assembly of the Aedes aegypti genome [PDF]

Science, 2016
We present an end-to-end genome assembly of a female Aedes aegypti mosquito, which spreads viral diseases such as yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika to humans. The assembly is based on an earlier genome published in 2007 and improved in 2013.

Insecticide resistance status of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes in Papua New Guinea

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus are important vectors of infectious diseases, especially those caused by arboviruses such as dengue, chikungunya and Zika. Aedes aegypti is very well adapted to urban environments, whereas Ae.

Releasing incompatible males drives strong suppression across populations of wild and Wolbachia-carrying Aedes aegypti in Australia

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance With over 40% of humans at risk from mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika, the development of environmentally friendly mosquito-control tools is critical. The release of reproductively incompatible male

The Effect of Mango (Mangifera indica) Peel Extract on Aedes aegypti Larvae Mortality

Biosfer: Jurnal Tadris Biologi, 2023
Aedes aegypti mosquito can transmit the virus due to biting humans. This study aims to determine whether there is effectiveness in mango (Mangifera indica) peel extract to inhibit the growth of instar III Aedes aegypti larvae.

Limited sex differences in plastic responses suggest evolutionary conservatism of thermal reaction norms: A meta‐analysis in insects

Evolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 394-411, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

Are standard aquatic test species and methods adequate surrogates for use in environmental risk assessment of pesticides in tropical environments?

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 202-212, January 2023., 2023
Abstract In regulatory risk assessment, surrogate species of fish, aquatic invertebrates, and primary producers are tested to assess toxicity and subsequently the risk of pesticides to freshwater biota. This study evaluates whether the standard, surrogate test species (mostly temperate in latitudinal distribution) used in many parts of the world are ...

Insect‐specific viruses used in biocontrol of mosquito‐borne diseases

Interdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Insect‐specific RNA viruses (ISRVs) are involved in a wide range of families including Flaviviridae, Bunyaviridae, Negeviruses, Togaviridae, Reoviridae, Mesoniviridae, and Rhabdoviridae, which cannot infect vertebrates, including humans. However, ISRVs can infect and replicate in mosquitoes, interfering with the replication of mosquito‐borne viruses ...
