In ‘The adult Aedes aegypti microbiota is robust to infection with the microsporidian parasite Edhazardia aedis’, Dom Magistrado and Sarah M. Short* use high‐throughput 16S amplicon sequencing to reveal that in contrast to a multitude of other bacterial, viral, and microsporidian pathogens, infection with the microsporidian pathogen E.

Preventing Invasive Non‐Native Species: A Horizon Scanning for the Canary Islands
ABSTRACT Aim Oceanic islands host exceptional biodiversity and endemism but are highly vulnerable to biological invasions. We aimed to identify non‐native species with high potential to invade the Canary Islands within the next decade and to prioritise them based on their environmental and socioeconomic risks.

Estimation of Adult Census Size From Close‐Kin Dyads in the Malaria Mosquito Anopheles gambiae
ABSTRACT Accurate estimates of adult mosquito abundance are central to the design and evaluation of vector control strategies, yet they are difficult to obtain from natural populations. Conventional mark‐recapture methods for estimating adult mosquito census size pose logistical and other challenges. A recently developed close‐kin mark‐recapture (CKMR)

Abstract Background Children living with HIV in low‐income countries contribute disproportionately to death after hospital discharge. This study investigates the effect of HIV on post‐discharge mortality and readmission by exploring a wide range of clinical, maternal and socioeconomic variables.

Aedes aegypti females were significantly repelled by both volatile DEET and citronella oil in comparison to control (ethanol‐exposed) mosquitoes. Global gene expression changes were largest in the mosquito mouthparts, with notable downregulation of the three subunits comprising the mosquito CO2 receptor (Gr1, 2 and 3).
