The voltage-gated sodium channel, para, limits Anopheles coluzzii vector competence in a microbiota dependent manner

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The voltage-gated sodium channel, para, is a target of DDT and pyrethroid class insecticides. Single nucleotide mutations in para, called knockdown resistant or kdr, which contribute to resistance against DDT and pyrethroid insecticides, have been ...

A rhabdovirus accessory protein inhibits jasmonic acid signaling in plants to attract insect vectors.

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2022
Plant rhabdoviruses heavily rely on insect vectors for transmission between sessile plants. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms of insect attraction and transmission of plant rhabdoviruses.

Genetics and immunity of Anopheles response to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae overlap with immunity to Plasmodium

open access: yesScientific 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

open access: yesScientific 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.

Determinants of Chikungunya and O’nyong-Nyong Virus Specificity for Infection of Aedes and Anopheles Mosquito Vectors

open access: yesViruses, 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.

The Effect of Secondary Metabolites Produced by Serratia marcescens on Aedes aegypti and Its Microbiota

open access: yesFrontiers 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).

Chemosterilants for Control of Insects and Insect Vectors of Disease. [PDF]

open access: yesChimia (Aarau), 2016
Both historically and at present, vector control is the most generally effective means of controlling malaria transmission. Insecticides are the predominant method of vector control, but the sterile insect technique (SIT) is a complementary strategy with a successful track record in both agricultural and public health sectors.

From Nucleotides to Satellite Imagery: Approaches to Identify and Manage the Invasive Pathogen Xylella fastidiosa and Its Insect Vectors in Europe

open access: yesSustainability, 2020
Biological invasions represent some of the most severe threats to local communities and ecosystems. Among invasive species, the vector-borne pathogen Xylella fastidiosa is responsible for a wide variety of plant diseases and has profound environmental ...

Production of germ-free mosquitoes via transient colonisation allows stage-specific investigation of host–microbiota interactions

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Germ-free mosquitoes generated with current methods exhibit developmental deficits. Here, the authors use genetically modified bacteria to allow complete decolonisation at any developmental stage of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and show that bacteria support
