Complex interactions among insect viruses‐insect vector‐arboviruses
Insect Science, 2023 AbstractInsects are the host or vector of diverse viruses including those that infect vertebrates, plants, and fungi. Insect viruses reside inside their insect hosts and are vertically transmitted from parent to offspring. The insect virus–host relationship is intricate, as these viruses can impact various aspects of insect biology, such as development,

Nature 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

mBio, 2022 In the mammalian host, Trypanosoma brucei is coated in a single-variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) species. Stochastic switching of the expressed VSG allows the parasite to escape detection by the host immune system.

Involvement of Microbiota in Insect Physiology: Focus on B Vitamins
mBio, 2023 Insects are highly successful in colonizing a wide spectrum of ecological niches and in feeding on a wide diversity of diets. This is notably linked to their capacity to get from their microbiota any essential component lacking in the diet such as ...

Risk of yellow fever virus transmission in the Asia-Pacific region
Nature Communications, 2020 Yellow fever is absent from the Asia/Pacific region, despite presence of the mosquito vector. Here, the authors demonstrate that mosquitoes collected from field sites across the region are capable of transmitting yellow fever virus, indicating that ...

A Systematic Review of the Natural Virome of Anopheles Mosquitoes
Viruses, 2018 Anopheles mosquitoes are vectors of human malaria, but they also harbor viruses, collectively termed the virome. The Anopheles virome is relatively poorly studied, and the number and function of viruses are unknown. Only the o’nyong-nyong arbovirus (ONNV)

Taxonomic review of the genus Nycteola Hübner (Lepidoptera, Nolidae) from Korea including potential invasive pests [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023 The genus Nycteola Hübner has been mainly distributed in the Old World and usually feeds on Fagaceae and Salicaceae, but Myrtaceae and Juglandaceae have also been reported. In Korea, the number of this genus has been changed from four to three after 2007,

Gene copy number and function of the APL1 immune factor changed during Anopheles evolution
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background The recent reference genome assembly and annotation of the Asian malaria vector Anopheles stephensi detected only one gene encoding the leucine-rich repeat immune factor APL1, while in the Anopheles gambiae and sibling Anopheles coluzzii, APL1
