The olfactory basis of orchid pollination by mosquitoes. [PDF]
, 2020 Mosquitoes are important vectors of disease and require sources of carbohydrates for reproduction and survival. Unlike host-related behaviors of mosquitoes, comparatively less is understood about the mechanisms involved in nectar-feeding decisions, or ...

Fighting Mosquitoes with Mosquitoes
Molecular Medicine Communications, 2022 A first-of-its-kind open-air study of genetically engineered mosquitoes has been conducted by scientists in the US. The biotechnology company Oxitec, spearheading these experiments, claims to have obtained positive results. However, much more elaborate and intricate studies are needed to establish whether these mosquitoes can suppress a wild population

The antiviral RNAi response in vector and non-vector cells against orthobunya viruses [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Vector arthropods control arbovirus replication and spread through antiviral innate immune responses including RNA interference (RNAi) pathways. Arbovirus infections have been shown to induce the exogenous small interfering RNA (siRNA) and
