Host-specific patterns of virulence and gene expression profiles of the broad-host-range entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology
Generalist pathogens with a broad host range encounter many different host environments. Such generalist pathogens are often highly versatile and adjust their expressed phenotype to the host being infected.

Arthropod microbiota: shaping pathogen establishment and enabling control

Frontiers in Arachnid Science, 2023
Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) pose significant global health threats. The microbiota of arthropod vectors influences their fitness and pathogen acquisition and/or transmission. Here, we review the intricate interplay among the arthropod immune system, the

Function and evolution of the aquaporin IsAQP1 in the Lyme disease vector Ixodes scapularis

Insect molecular biology (Print), 2023
Ticks are important vectors of pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and protozoans to humans, wildlife, and domestic animals. Due to their life cycles, ticks face significant challenges related to water homeostasis.

Unmasking trends and drivers of the international arachnid trade

Frontiers in Arachnid Science, 2023
The global biodiversity crisis represents a major threat to humanity, with the worldwide animal trade being identified as a major driving force. Although vertebrate trade has been subject to intensified research, the extent of invertebrate trade remains ...

A new WHO bottle bioassay method to assess the susceptibility of mosquito vectors to public health insecticides: results from a WHO-coordinated multi-centre study

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background The continued spread of insecticide resistance in mosquito vectors of malaria and arboviral diseases may lead to operational failure of insecticide-based interventions if resistance is not monitored and managed efficiently. This study aimed to

Overview of paratransgenesis as a strategy to control pathogen transmission by insect vectors

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
This article presents an overview of paratransgenesis as a strategy to control pathogen transmission by insect vectors. It first briefly summarises some of the disease-causing pathogens vectored by insects and emphasises the need for innovative control ...

RNA-dependent RNA polymerases in the black-legged tick produce Argonaute-dependent small RNAs and regulate genes [PDF]

, 2021
Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are involved in anti-viral defense and gene regulation. Although RNA-dependent RNA Polymerases (RdRPs) are known to produce sRNA in nematodes, plants and fungi, whether they play roles in sRNA biogenesis in other animals ...
