Chromosome level de Novo hybrid assembly of Asian honeybee, Apis cerana Koreana

Scientific Reports
Apis cerana is a vital pollinator in East Asia and a model species for studying eusociality, which includes complex group decision-making and specialized task systems. However, the population of Apis cerana is facing a significant decline globally due to

Spatiotemporal variation in the microbiome of Aedes vexans from Korea reveals regional markers linked to environmental risk factors

Microbiology Spectrum
Aedes vexans is a widespread mosquito species known to carry West Nile virus (WNV); however, our understanding of how its microbiome changes across different regions and seasons, particularly in temperate areas such as South Korea, remains limited.

Evolution and biological significance of flaviviral elements in the genome of the arboviral vector Aedes albopictus

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2019
Since its genome details are publically available, the mosquito Aedes albopictus has become the central stage of attention for deciphering multiple biological and evolutionary aspects at the root of its success as an invasive species. Its genome of 1,967

Potential of Aedes aegypti populations in Madeira Island to transmit dengue and chikungunya viruses

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Aedes spp. mosquitoes mainly transmit the arboviruses dengue virus (DENV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) in urban areas, causing a severe public health problem. In 2012–2013, a major dengue outbreak occurred on Madeira Island where the mosquito

Gut Microbiota of Apis mellifera at Selected Ontogenetic Stages and Their Immunogenic Potential during Summer

Pathogens
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are pollinating agents of economic importance. The role of the gut microbiome in honeybee health has become increasingly evident due to its relationship with immune function, growth, and development.

Preferential suppression of Anopheles gambiae host sequences allows detection of the mosquito eukaryotic microbiome

Scientific Reports, 2017
Anopheles mosquitoes are vectors of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. The vector microbiota is a likely factor influencing parasite transmission.

Potential risk of re-emergence of urban transmission of Yellow Fever virus in Brazil facilitated by competent Aedes populations

Scientific Reports, 2017
Yellow fever virus (YFV) causing a deadly viral disease is transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes. In Brazil, YFV is restricted to a forest cycle maintained between non-human primates and forest-canopy mosquitoes, where humans can be tangentially
