African malaria mosquitoes (Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto) transmit a malaria parasite (Plasmodium falciparum) to humans. The current control strategies for the vector have mainly focussed on synthetic products, which negatively impact the environment and human health.

The damage caused by stink bugs that feed on agricultural crops is significant. Here we describe modification of the pesticidal protein Mpp83Aa1 by addition of peptides that bind to the gut surface proteins alpha amylase or aminopeptidase N. These peptides provided artificial anchors resulting in increased gut binding, and enhanced toxicity against the

Immune Regulation of
Malaria parasite ookinetes must traverse the vector mosquito midgut epithelium to transform into sporozoite-producing oocysts. The Anopheles innate immune system is a key regulator of this process, thereby determining vector competence and disease ...
