Disruption of spatiotemporal clustering in dengue cases by wMel Wolbachia in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Dengue exhibits focal clustering in households and neighborhoods, driven by local mosquito population dynamics, human population immunity, and fine scale human and mosquito movement.

The tiger salamander as a promising alternative model organism to the axolotl for fracture healing and regenerative biology research

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientists have been captivated by the ability to regenerate, focusing on uncovering the mechanisms of epimorphic regeneration and applying them to human medicine. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has become the most intensively studied model in tetrapod regeneration research, particularly concerning limb regeneration.

Impact of Aedes aegypti V1016I and F1534C knockdown resistance genotypes on operational interventions

open access: yesScientific Reports
Resistance to pyrethroids is common in Aedes aegypti populations. Mutations in the voltage gated sodium channel have an influence on the insecticide resistance (IR) phenotype.

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

The Effects of Boric Acid Sugar Bait on Wolbachia Trans-Infected Male Aedes albopictus (ZAP Males®) in Laboratory Conditions

open access: yesInsects, 2021
The field release of Wolbachia trans-infected male mosquitoes, as well as the use of toxic sugar baits, is a novel and promising candidate technique for integrated mosquito management programs. However, the methods of action of the two techniques may not

Detection of a new pyrethroid resistance mutation (V410L) in the sodium channel of Aedes aegypti: a potential challenge for mosquito control

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, particularly in Neotropical regions, is the principal vector of dengue, yellow fever, Zika and Chikungunya viruses.

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Barcoding Quantitative PCR Assay to Distinguish Between Aedes aegypti and Aedes sierrensis

open access: yesTropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
The accurate identification of mosquito species is critical for effective mosquito surveillance and control, especially when presented with morphologically similar species like Aedes aegypti and Aedes sierrensis.

Male Age Influences Re-mating Incidence and Sperm Use in Females of the Dengue Vector Aedes aegypti

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
Diseases transmitted by female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are public health issues in countries in the tropics and sub-tropics. As in other insects, A.
