Scientific Reports, 2022 Mosquito saliva facilitates blood feeding through the anti-haemostatic, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of its proteins. However, the potential contribution of non-coding RNAs to host manipulation is still poorly understood. We analysed

Application of Genomics for Understanding Plant Virus-Insect Vector Interactions and Insect Vector Control [PDF]
Phytopathology®, 2016 The relationships between plant viruses and their vectors have evolved over the millennia, and yet, studies on viruses began <150 years ago and investigations into the virus and vector interactions even more recently. The advent of next generation sequencing, including rapid genome and transcriptome analysis, methods for evaluation of small RNAs ...

BMC Genomics, 2019 Background Mosquitoes are colonized by a large but mostly uncharacterized natural virome of RNA viruses, and the composition and distribution of the natural RNA virome may influence the biology and immunity of Anopheles malaria vector populations ...

Chemosterilants for Control of Insects and Insect Vectors of Disease
CHIMIA, 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.

Epigenetics & ChromatinBackground Anopheles mosquitoes and the malaria parasites they transmit remain a significant global health problem. Most genomic and functional genomic studies of mosquitoes have focused on the protein-coding genome, and comparatively little is known ...

The tripartite interactions between the mosquito, its microbiota and Plasmodium
Parasites & Vectors, 2018 The microbiota of Anopheles mosquitoes interferes with mosquito infection by Plasmodium and influences mosquito fitness, therefore affecting vectorial capacity.

Communications BiologyMosquitoes rely on their microbiota for B vitamin synthesis. We previously found that Aedes aegypti third-instar larvae cleared of their microbiota were impaired in their development, notably due to a lack of folic acid (vitamin B9).

mSphere of Influence: Expanding the CRISPR Sphere with Single-Locus Proteomics
mSphere, 2020 Lucy Glover’s research focuses on the role of DNA repair and recombination in antigenic variation in the parasite Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of both human and animal African trypanosomiasis. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects

Acoustic communication in insect disease vectors [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013 Acoustic signalling has been extensively studied in insect species, which has led to a better understanding of sexual communication, sexual selection and modes of speciation. The significance of acoustic signals for a blood-sucking insect was first reported in the XIX century by Christopher Johnston, studying the hearing organs of mosquitoes, but has ...
