Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 The mosquito species Aedes aegypti is the primary transmitter of viruses that cause endemic diseases like dengue in Pakistan. It is also a cause of other vector-borne diseases like yellow fever, Zika fever, and chikungunya, which significantly impact ...

Double-Stranded RNA Technology to Control Insect Pests: Current Status and Challenges
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Exploiting the RNA interference (RNAi) gene mechanism to silence essential genes in pest insects, leading to toxic effects, has surfaced as a promising new control strategy in the past decade.

Current understanding of the genomic, genetic, and molecular control of insect resistance in rice
Molecular breeding, 2020 Rice ( Oryza sativa ) is both a vital source of food and a key model cereal for genomic research. Insect pests are major factors constraining rice production. Here, we provide an overview of recent progress in functional genomics research and the genetic

Does Tap Water Quality Compromise the Production of Aedes Mosquitoes in Genetic Control Projects?
Insects, 2021 A mosquito’s life cycle includes an aquatic phase. Water quality is therefore an important determinant of whether or not the female mosquitoes will lay their eggs and the resulting immature stages will survive and successfully complete their development ...
