Control strategies on mosquitos population for the fight against arboviruses [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 In the fight against vector-borne arboviruses, an important strategy of control of epidemic consists in controlling the population of vector, \textit{Aedes} mosquitoes in this case. Among possible actions, two techniques consist in releasing mosquitoes to reduce the size of the population (Sterile Insect Technique) or in replacing the wild population ...

Insect Vectors of Rice Yellow Mottle Virus
, 2015 Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is the major viral constraint to rice production in Africa. RYMV was first identified in 1966 in Kenya and then later in most African countries where rice is grown.

Genetics of Major Insect Vectors
, 2011 Publisher Summary Vector-borne diseases are responsible for a substantial portion of the global disease. Control of insect vectors is often the best and sometimes the only way to protect the population from these destructive diseases. This chapter reviews vector genetics of three of the most important vector-borne diseases that have much to contribute

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Many angiosperms have evolved specialized systems that promote pollination by specific taxa. Therefore, plant distributions may be limited by the local abundance of their specialist pollinators. In eastern North America, Lobelia cardinalis is thought to be pollinated solely by Archilochus colubris, the only hummingbird species found in

Zika virus threshold determines transmission by European Aedes albopictus mosquitoes
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2019 Since its emergence in Yap Island in 2007, Zika virus (ZIKV) has affected all continents except Europe. Despite the hundreds of cases imported to European countries from ZIKV-infested regions, no local cases have been reported in localities where the ...

Spider Eye Development Editing and Silk Fiber Engineering Using CRISPR‐Cas
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.CRISPR‐Cas9 gene editing represents an effective and precise technology to induce mutations in the genome, and it has been applied to a wide range of organisms for diverse purposes. However, CRISPR‐based gene editing in spiders has not been reported to date.
