Partial-arm translocations in evolution of malaria mosquitoes revealed by high-coverage physical mapping of the Anopheles atroparvus genome

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Malaria mosquitoes have had a remarkable stability in the number of chromosomes in their karyotype (2n = 6) during 100 million years of evolution.

Synthetic biology approaches to generate temperature‐sensitive alleles for the Sterile Insect Technique

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 517-532, April 2026.
Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly, sustainable pest control approach, which uses large‐scale releases of sterile insects to suppress or eradicate target populations through infertile matings. The efficiency of SIT is enhanced by male‐only releases requiring genetic sexing strains (GSSs) that are classically ...

Genomic Insights Into Host Shifts Between Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium simium in Latin America

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Malaria in Latin America is largely caused by Plasmodium vivax, but the closely related monkey parasite Plasmodium simium has recently been observed in humans, thus raising new public health concerns. By screening 719 monkey samples from five Latin America countries, we identified 23 Plasmodium‐positives.

Integrating Citizen Science and Remote Sensing Data to Identify Key Environmental Factors Influencing H5N1 Avian Influenza Virus Potential Spillover Risk in the Philippines

GeoHealth, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus presents a serious threat to poultry and public health worldwide, with transmission dynamics shaped by avian migration patterns and environmental conditions. Recent outbreaks in the Philippines highlight the urgent need for effective control measures.

A Short‐Read Amplicon Sequencing Protocol and Bioinformatic Pipeline for Ecological Surveillance of Dipteran Disease Vectors

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 6, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Vector control remains an important strategy worldwide to prevent human infection with pathogens transmitted by arthropods. Vector control strategies rely on accurate identification of vector taxa along with vector‐specific biological indicators such as feeding ecology, infection prevalence and insecticide resistance.

Fluctuating Warm and Humid Conditions Differentially Impact Immunity and Development in the Malaria Vector Anopheles stephensi

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2025.
This study shows that fluctuating warm and humid conditions impact immune defenses, accelerate development, enhance post‐infection survival, and alter gene expression in mosquitoes, with potentially significant implications for their ability to vector malaria.

Insect Lipids as Novel Source for Future Applications: Chemical Composition and Industry Applications—A Comprehensive Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
Fat body (FB) acts as a major metabolic center important for the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryogenesis, reproduction, flight, overwintering, protection, and communication. Lipid amounts and fatty acid (FA) composition vary with species, stage of life, and their diet.

Occurrence of a population of the root‐knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, with low sensitivity to two major nematicides, fosthiazate and fluopyram, in Japan

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 2, Page 698-706, February 2025.
This study indicated that significantly differences of sensitivity to fosthiazate and fluopyram between two Meloidogyne incognita populations, are due to different histories of nematicide use and a related factor is detoxifying enzymes. Abstract BACKGROUND The root‐knot nematode (RKN), Meloidogyne incognita, affects food production globally and ...

A Global Systematic Review on the Potential of Metal‐Based Nanoparticles in the Fight Against Mosquito Vectors

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Mosquito‐borne diseases, such as malaria, filariasis, dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and other viral infections, pose significant public health challenges worldwide. For many years, chemical insecticides were used in the form of indoor residual spraying (IRS) and insecticide‐treated nets (ITNs).
