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

Insulated piggyBac vectors for insect transgenesis [PDF]
BMC Biotechnology, 2006 Abstract Background Germ-line transformation of insects is now a widely used method for analyzing gene function and for the development of genetically modified strains suitable for pest control programs. The most widely used transposable element for the germ-line transformation of insects is piggyBac.

Endogenous non-retroviral elements in genomes of Aedes mosquitoes and vector competence
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2019 Recent extensive (re)emergences of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) such as chikungunya (CHIKV), zika (ZIKV) and dengue (DENV) viruses highlight the role of the epidemic vectors, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, in their spreading. Differences of

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 ...

Dangerous Duplicity: The Dual Functions of Casein Kinase 1 in Parasite Biology and Host Subversion
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Casein Kinase 1 (CK1) family members are serine/threonine protein kinases that are involved in many biological processes and highly conserved in eukaryotes from protozoan to humans.

Interactions between parasites and insects vectors [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1994 This review stresses the importance of studies that will provide a basic understanding of the pathology of parasite-infected vector insects. This knowledge should be a vital component of the very focussed initiatives currently being funded in the areas of vector control.
