Rapid protein profiling for arthropod vector identification [PDF]
Identification of insect vectors is primarily carried out using morphological features, which can be a time-consuming and difficult task. PCR-based approaches have been developed for the identification of a number of vector species. We have recently established matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS),

The efficacy and non-target arthropod effects of transgenic DAS-21023-5 × DAS-24236-5 × SYN-IR102-7 Bt cotton, expressing proteins Cry1Ac, Cry1F and Vip3Aa19, was examined through field trials in Brazil.

Expression of Distal-less, dachshund, and optomotor blind in Neanthes arenaceodentata (Annelida, Nereididae) does not support homology of appendage-forming mechanisms across the Bilateria [PDF]
The similarity in the genetic regulation of arthropod and vertebrate appendage formation has been interpreted as the product of a plesiomorphic gene network that was primitively involved in bilaterian appendage development and co-opted to build ...

Identification of novel arthropod vector G protein-coupled receptors [PDF]
Abstract Background The control of vector-borne diseases, such as malaria, dengue fever, and typhus fever is often achieved with the use of insecticides. Unfortunately, insecticide resistance is becoming common among different vector species.

Novel origin of lamin-derived cytoplasmic intermediate filaments in tardigrades
Intermediate filament (IF) proteins, including nuclear lamins and cytoplasmic IF proteins, are essential cytoskeletal components of bilaterian cells. Despite their important role in protecting tissues against mechanical force, no cytoplasmic IF proteins ...

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 ...

Co-option of a non-retroviral endogenous viral element in planthoppers
Non-retroviral endogenous viral elements (nrEVEs) are widely dispersed throughout the genomes of eukaryotes. Although nrEVEs are known to be involved in host antiviral immunity, it remains an open question whether they can be domesticated as functional ...

Understanding the Wolbachia-mediated inhibition of arboviruses in mosquitoes: progress and challenges [PDF]
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
