Oviposition pheromones in insect vectors
Parasitology Today, 1995 Oviposition aggregation pheromones occur in a range of insect groups including Diptera, where they mediate oviposition in four different families of disease vectors. In this paper, Philip McCall and Mary Cameron discuss the selection pressures favouring oviposition pheromones and speculate on their potential applications in disease monitoring and ...

Transovarial Transmission in Insect Vectors
, 2019 Phytoplasma ability to infect a new generation of insects by transovarial transmission was demonstrated in some insect vector/plant host combinations mainly by molecular evidence coupled with biological assays. Scaphoideus titanus was the first one in which phytoplasma detection in eggs, newly hatched nymphs and adults (reared on phytoplasma-free Vicia

Capturing Insect Vectors of Phytoplasmas
, 2012 Insect vectors of phytoplasmas are limited to leafhoppers, planthoppers, and psyllids. While populations can be monitored by a number of passive techniques in the field, the capture of live insects is necessary for manipulation and study. A number of physical methods for capturing these insects already exist, but more innovative traps equipped with ...

Scientific Reports, 2022 Entomopathogenic fungi have been explored as a potential biopesticide to counteract the insecticide resistance issue in mosquitoes. However, little is known about the possibility that genetic resistance to fungal biopesticides could evolve in mosquito ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals developmental heterogeneity among Plasmodium berghei sporozoites
Scientific Reports, 2021 In the malaria-causing parasite’s life cycle, Plasmodium sporozoites must travel from the midgut of a mosquito to the salivary glands before they can infect a mammalian host. However, only a fraction of sporozoites complete the journey.

Viruses, 2023 Mosquito-borne diseases caused by viruses and parasites are responsible for more than 700 million infections each year. Anopheles and Aedes are the two major vectors for, respectively, malaria and arboviruses.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Serratia marcescens is a bacterial species widely found in the environment, which very efficiently colonizes mosquitoes. In this study, we isolated a red-pigmented S. marcescens strain from our mosquito colony (called S. marcescens VA).
