Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Molecular detection and characterization of Rift Valley fever virus in arthropod vectors in Nigeria
The MicrobeRift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a zoonotic arthropod-borne virus infecting mostly livestock, and sometimes, humans across Africa. It is transmitted primarily by mosquitoes, and occasionally, other arthropod vectors.

MAPPING POTENTIAL HABITATS FOR ARTHROPOD VECTORS OF TRYPANOSOMIASIS INFECTION IN NORTHERN NIGERIA: AN INTRODUCTORY SYNTHESIS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018 This paper presents an introductory synthesis for mapping potential habitats of arthropod vectors responsible for animal trypanosomiasis diseases in Northern Nigeria, where there is high production of livestock.

New insights into control of arbovirus replication and spread by insect RNA interference pathways [PDF]
, 2012 Arthropod-borne (arbo) viruses are transmitted by vectors, such as mosquitoes, to susceptible vertebrates. Recent research has shown that arbovirus replication and spread in mosquitoes is not passively tolerated but induces host responses to control ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An evolutionary molecular dynamics platform is used to design P1.6, a membrane‐active peptide that senses lipid packing defects in viral envelopes. P1.6 adopts a stabilized α‐helical structure upon membrane contact, disrupts virus‐like liposomes, and damages HIV‐1 particles.

Plant-Based Insect Repellents: A Review Of Their Efficacy, Development and Testing. [PDF]
, 2011 Plant-based repellents have been used for generations in traditional practice as a personal protection measure against host-seeking mosquitoes. Knowledge on traditional repellent plants obtained through ethnobotanical studies is a valuable resource for ...

Alphaviral Capsid Proteins Inhibit Stress Granule Assembly via Competitive RNA Binding With G3BP1
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Stress granules exert antiviral functions. This study illustrates a conserved function of alphaviral capsid proteins in modulating stress granules. Oligomerization mediated by a helical motif coupled with a positively charged intrinsically disordered region (IDR) directly competes with G3BP1 for RNA binding, thereby disrupting G3BP1‐RNA liquid–liquid ...

Juvenile Hormone-Sensitive Ribosomal Activity Enhances Viral Replication in Aedes aegypti
mSystems, 2021 Most flaviviruses are transmitted between hosts by arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes. Since therapeutics or vaccines are lacking for most mosquito-borne diseases, reducing the mosquito vector competence is an effective way to decrease disease burden.

Herbivore arthropods benefit from vectoring plant viruses
Ecology Letters, 2004 AbstractPlants infected with pathogens often attract the pathogens’ vectors, but it is not clear if this is advantageous to the vectors. We therefore quantified the direct and indirect (through the host plant) effects of a pathogen on its vector.
