Influence of blood meal on the responsiveness of olfactory receptor neurons in antennal sensilla trichodea of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti [PDF]

, 2010
In female Aedes aegypti L. mosquitoes, a blood meal induces physiological and behavioral changes. Previous studies have shown that olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) housed in grooved peg sensilla on the antennae of Ae.

Automated differentiation of mixed populations of free-flying female mosquitoes under semi-field conditions

Scientific Reports
Great advances in automated identification systems, or ‘smart traps’, that differentiate insect species have been made in recent years, yet demonstrations of field-ready devices under free-flight conditions remain rare.

Predicting the likelihood and intensity of mosquito infection from sex specific Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte density

eLife, 2018
Understanding the importance of gametocyte density on human-to-mosquito transmission is of immediate relevance to malaria control. Previous work (Churcher et al., 2013) indicated a complex relationship between gametocyte density and mosquito infection ...

Mosquito Oviposition Behavior and Vector Control

Insects, 2016
The burden of gene transfer from one mosquito generation to the next falls on the female and her eggs. The selection of an oviposition site that guarantees egg and larval survival is a critical step in the reproductive process.

A Novel Antimalarial Agent that Inhibits Protein Synthesis in Plasmodium falciparum

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Compound 31 represents a promising avenue for the development as an antimalarial agent with a potent activity profile (PfNF54 IC50 ± s.d. = 3.9 ± 0.4 nM). It has a novel mode of action by binding to cytosolic ribosomal subunits, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis in the parasite.

Reduction in Aedes aegypti Population After a Year-Long Application of Targeted Sterile Insect Releases in the West Valley Region of Southern California

Insects
Aedes aegypti is of great public health concern because of its vectorial capacity to transmit various arboviruses such as Zika, yellow fever, dengue, and chikungunya. In California, its expanding geographic distribution has been unrestrained.
