Closing the gap to effective gene drive in Aedes aegypti by exploiting germline regulatory elements

Nature Communications, 2023
CRISPR/Cas9-based homing gene drives have emerged as a potential new approach to mosquito control. Here the authors use transgenic lines with germline-specific regulatory elements to express Cas9 and achieve up to 94% inheritance bias, closing the gap ...

CRISPR/Cas-9 mediated knock-in by homology dependent repair in the West Nile Virus vector Culex quinquefasciatus Say

Scientific Reports, 2021
Culex quinquefasciatus Say is a mosquito distributed in both tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is a night-active, opportunistic blood-feeder and vectors many animal and human diseases, including West Nile Virus and avian malaria.

AePUb promoter length modulates gene expression in Aedes aegypti

Scientific Reports, 2023
Molecular tools for modulating transgene expression in Aedes aegypti are few. Here we demonstrate that adjustments to the AePUb promoter length can alter expression levels of two reporter proteins in Ae. aegypti cell culture and in mosquitoes.

Evidence for Vector Transmission of the Blueberry Pathogen Exobasidium maculosum, Cause of Exobasidium Leaf and Fruit Spot

PhytoFrontiers, 2023
Exobasidium leaf and fruit spot of blueberry, caused by Exobasidium maculosum, results in significant yield losses if not properly managed. To determine if an arthropod is involved in transmission, we conducted arthropod exclusion and trapping studies at

The BioFire® RP2.1 Panel Did Not Identify Concurrent Respiratory Virus Infection in Adults with Variable SARS-CoV-2 Disease Severity and Infection Duration

Advances in Virology, 2022
SARS-CoV-2 emerged in 2019 and rapidly surged into a global pandemic. The rates of concurrent infection with other respiratory pathogens and the effects of possible coinfections on the severity of COVID-19 cases and the length of viral infection are not ...

First Year Survey of Arthropods in California Hemp

Frontiers in Agronomy, 2022
Hemp is a newly (re)introduced crop to United States and California agriculture. A study was initiated in the summer of 2021 to survey the arthropods present in hemp in two regions of California: Fresno County in the Central Valley and Ventura County ...

Gene content evolution in the arthropods [PDF]

, 2020
Arthropods comprise the largest and most diverse phylum on Earth and play vital roles in nearly every ecosystem. Their diversity stems in part from variations on a conserved body plan, resulting from and recorded in adaptive changes in the genome ...

Virtual spherical-shaped multicellular platform for simulating the morphogenetic processes of spider-like body axis formation

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Remodeling of multicellular architecture is a critical developmental process for shaping the axis of a bilaterally symmetric animal body and involves coordinated cell–cell interactions and cell rearrangement.
