Osteopontin in the host response to Leishmania amazonensis

BMC Microbiology, 2019
Background Leishmania (L.) spp are intracellular eukaryotic parasites responsible for cutaneous or visceral leishmaniasis, replicating predominantly in macrophages (MF). In C57BL/6 mice virulence with L. amazonensis has been associated with inhibition of

Molecular characterization and genetic authentication assay for Anopheles ‘hemocyte-like’ cell lines 4a-3A and 4a-3B

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Anopheles cell lines are used in a variety of ways to better understand the major vectors of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite this, commonly used cell lines are not well characterized, and no tools are available for cell line ...

Leucine-Rich Immune Factor APL1 Is Associated With Specific Modulation of Enteric Microbiome Taxa in the Asian Malaria Mosquito Anopheles stephensi

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The commensal gut microbiome is contained by the enteric epithelial barrier, but little is known about the degree of specificity of host immune barrier interactions for particular bacterial taxa. Here, we show that depletion of leucine-rich repeat immune

Learning and Memory in Disease Vector Insects [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2016
Learning and memory plays an important role in host preference and parasite transmission by disease vector insects. Historically there has been a dearth of standardized protocols that permit testing their learning abilities, thus limiting discussion on the potential epidemiological consequences of learning and memory to a largely speculative extent ...

Using capillary electrophoresis to identify Anopheline species in routine sampling sites

Ecology and Evolution
In the Anopheles genus, various mosquito species are able to transmit the Plasmodium parasites responsible for malaria, while others are non‐vectors. In an effort to better understand the biology of Anopheles species and to quantify transmission risk in ...

The Improving Effects of Probiotic-Added Pollen Substitute Diets on the Gut Microbiota and Individual Health of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.)

Microorganisms
Honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) health is crucial for honey bee products and effective pollination, and it is closely associated with gut bacteria. Various factors such as reduced habitat, temperature, disease, and diet affect the health of honey bees by ...

Chromosome level de Novo hybrid assembly of Asian honeybee, Apis cerana Koreana

Scientific Reports
Apis cerana is a vital pollinator in East Asia and a model species for studying eusociality, which includes complex group decision-making and specialized task systems. However, the population of Apis cerana is facing a significant decline globally due to

Spatiotemporal variation in the microbiome of Aedes vexans from Korea reveals regional markers linked to environmental risk factors

Microbiology Spectrum
Aedes vexans is a widespread mosquito species known to carry West Nile virus (WNV); however, our understanding of how its microbiome changes across different regions and seasons, particularly in temperate areas such as South Korea, remains limited.

Evolution and biological significance of flaviviral elements in the genome of the arboviral vector Aedes albopictus

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2019
Since its genome details are publically available, the mosquito Aedes albopictus has become the central stage of attention for deciphering multiple biological and evolutionary aspects at the root of its success as an invasive species. Its genome of 1,967
