Expanding the CRISPR toolbox in Culicine mosquitoes: in vitro validation of Pol III promoters [PDF]
, 2020 CRISPR–Cas9-based “gene drive” technologies have been proposed as a novel and effective means of controlling human diseases vectored by mosquitoes. However, more complex designs than those demonstrated to date—and an expanded molecular toolbox with which

PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Molecular determinants and mechanisms of arthropod-borne flavivirus transmission to the vertebrate host are poorly understood. In this study, we show for the first time that a cell line from medically important arthropods, such as ticks, secretes ...

Species richness-environment relationships of European arthropods at two spatial grains : habitats and countries [PDF]
, 2012 We study how species richness of arthropods relates to theories concerning net primary productivity, ambient energy, water-energy dynamics and spatial environmental heterogeneity.

Progesterone-Mediated Enhancement of Hepatitis E Virus Replication in Human Liver Cells
mBio, 2021 Hepatitis E is usually a self-limiting acute disease; however, during pregnancy, a severe form of fulminant hepatic failure and high mortality rate are associated with hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection.

Metabarcoding a diverse arthropod mock community
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2019 Although DNA metabarcoding is an attractive approach for monitoring biodiversity, it is often difficult to detect all the species present in a bulk sample. In particular, sequence recovery for a given species depends on its biomass and mitome copy number

Understanding the Wolbachia-mediated inhibition of arboviruses in mosquitoes: progress and challenges [PDF]
, 2014 Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a considerable threat to human and animal health, yet effective control measures have proven difficult to implement, and novel means of controlling their replication in arthropod vectors, such as mosquitoes, are

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Interactions between plants and insect herbivores are important determinants of plant productivity in managed and natural vegetation. In response to attack, plants have evolved a range of defenses to reduce the threat of injury and loss of productivity.

A Directory of Policies on Arthropod Collecting on Public Lands [PDF]
, 2017 There are many local, state, and federal agencies with responsibilities for managing public lands. The availability of these lands for entomological research and collecting is determined in great part by the specific governmental charges for the ...

Pan-arthropod analysis reveals somatic piRNAs as an ancestral defence against transposable elements
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2017 In animals, small RNA molecules termed PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) silence transposable elements (TEs), protecting the germline from genomic instability and mutation. piRNAs have been detected in the soma in a few animals, but these are believed to be
