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

Scientific 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 ...

Intruding into a conversation: how behavioral manipulation could support management of Xylella fastidiosa and its insect vectors

Journal of Pest Science, 2023
Behavioral manipulation (BM) is a multimodal control approach based on the interference with the stimuli mediating insect perception and interaction with the surroundings.

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

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 ...

Detection of Xylella fastidiosa in Host Plants and Insect Vectors by Droplet Digital PCR

Agriculture, 2023
Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is a Gram-negative plant bacterium that causes severe diseases affecting several economically important crops in many countries. To achieve early detection of the pathogen, a droplet digital PCR (ddPCR)-based approach was used to ...

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.

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

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.

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

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).

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

Plant 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.

Insect Vector Transmission Assays [PDF]

, 2012
Phytoplasmas are transmitted in a persistent propagative manner by phloem-feeding vectors belonging to the order Hemiptera, suborder Homoptera. Following acquisition from the infected source plant, there is a latent period before the vector can transmit, so transmission assays consist of three basic steps: acquisition, latency, and inoculation.
