piRNA processing within non‐membrane structures is governed by constituent proteins and their functional motifs

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The silencing of transposable elements is mediated by piRNAs through post‐transcriptional and transcriptional regulation. In Drosophila, piRNAs are processed within unique non‐membrane structures: nuage in germline cells and Yb bodies in somatic gonadal cells.

Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae): coexistence and susceptibility to temephos, in municipalities with occurrence of dengue and differentiated characteristics of urbanization Aedes aegypti e Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae): coexistência e susceptibilidade ao temephos, em municípios com ocorrência de casos de dengue e diferentes características de urbanização

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2011
INTRODUCTION: The aim of the present study was to verify the coexistence between Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus populations in municipalities of the States of Paraná and Santa Catarina with different urbanization profiles where dengue occurs and ...

Free flight of the mosquito Aedes aegypti [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
High speed video observations of free flying male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the dengue and yellow fever vector, along with custom measurement methods, enable measurement of wingbeat frequency, body position and body orientation of mosquitoes during flight. We find these mosquitoes flap their wings at approximately 850 Hz.

Potency of agarose gel‐supported lipid bilayers for electrophysiologic analysis of channel pores formed by Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal proteins

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Agarose gel‐supported lipid bilayers constructed at the interface between the lipid solution and the recording solution are useful for measuring channel currents through different types of toxin pores. In this system, the lipid bilayers can be easily reconstructed even after the bilayer is disrupted, and measurements of toxin pores could be repeated ...

Gaps and spatial trends in the accurate data available on mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae) in Brazil: Inventory completeness and priority areas Lacunas e tendências espaciais nos dados precisos disponíveis sobre mosquitos (Diptera, Culicidae) no Brasil: Cobertura dos inventários e áreas prioritárias

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We compiled primary occurrence data for Culicidae in Brazil and our findings showed limitations in the spatial and temporal coverage of digital Culicidae data compared with the literature occurrence data. The Atlantic and Amazon Forests presented well‐surveyed inventories in Brazil's north and southeast. However, the distribution of occurrences reveals

The invasive dynamics of Aedes aegypti mosquito in a heterogenous environment [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
A reaction-diffusion-advection model is proposed and investigated to understand the invasive dynamics of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The free boundary is introduced to model the expanding front of the invasive mosquitoes in a heterogenous environment. The threshold $R^D_0$ for the model with Dirichlet boundary condition is defined and the threshold $R ...

Conspecific and allospecific larval extracts entice mosquitoes to lay eggs and may be used in attract-and-kill control strategy. [PDF]

, 2019
One of the strategies of integrated vector management is to lure gravid mosquitoes for surveillance purposes or to entice them to lay eggs in water containing toxins that kill the offspring (attract-and-kill or trap-and-kill).

The quest for the best target genes for RNAi‐mediated pest control

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
A major challenge for RNAi mediated pest control is the identification of the most effective RNAi target genes from the pool of ~37% of all genes that are essential. Effective RNAi target genes are predominantly highly conserved genes serving basic cellular functions such as protein degradation.
