Antibiotic Treatment in Anopheles coluzzii Affects Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism

Pathogens, 2020
The mosquito microbiota reduces the vector competence of Anopheles to Plasmodium and affects host fitness; it is therefore considered as a potential target to reduce malaria transmission.

Spin‐Orbit Angular Momentum Conversion in Coupled Nonparaxial Bessel Acoustic Vortices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study gives a formulaic description of the spin‐orbit angular momentum (AM) conversion in coupled fields of two nonparaxial Bessel acoustic vortices. Experimental results of wave field measurements provide compelling evidence for spin‐orbit AM conversion via passive artificial structures.

The speed of tubule formation of two fijiviruses corresponds with their dissemination efficiency in their insect vectors

Virology Journal, 2016
Rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) and Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV) are two closely related fijiviruses transmitted by the small brown planthopper (SBPH) and white-backed planthopper (WBPH), respectively.

Genomic Insights into the Origin, High Fecundity and Environmental Adaptation of Hu Sheep

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Hu sheep diverged from the Small‐tailed Han sheep ≈1330 years ago, and subsequently migrated from northern to warm and humid southern regions. The genes BMPR1B, UNC5C, and GRID2 play a synergistic role in the superior reproductive traits of Hu sheep.

Enhancing Honey Bee Health: Evaluating Pollen Substitute Diets in Field and Cage Experiments

Insects
Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) play vital roles as agricultural pollinators and honey producers. However, global colony losses are increasing due to multiple stressors, including malnutrition.

Determining putative vectors of the Bogia Coconut Syndrome phytoplasma using loop-mediated isothermal amplification of single-insect feeding media

Scientific Reports, 2016
Phytoplasmas are insect vectored mollicutes responsible for disease in many economically important crops. Determining which insect species are vectors of a given phytoplasma is important for managing disease but is methodologically challenging because ...

Zinc Alleviates Gut Barrier Dysfunction by Promoting the Methylation of AKT

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Zinc activates the ZNG1‐METAP1 complex to elevate intracellular SAM levels, which promotes PRMT5‐mediated symmetrical dimethylation of AKT at R391 and R15. This epigenetic modification facilitates AKT membrane translocation and mTORC2 activation, thereby enhancing epithelial proliferation and gut barrier integrity.

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

Structural Basis of GABAB Receptor Activation during Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study explores the structural and functional mechanisms of the drosophila GABAB receptor, a key role in neurotransmission. Using cryo‐EM, the research reveals how the receptor's activation differs from its human counterpart, highlighting unique evolutionary features.
