Mosquito ecology and control of malaria [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2012 AbstractMosquitoes transmit some of the most important infectious diseases of man including malaria that today kills around 0·6–1·2 million people a year, the majority children in low‐income countries.There is increasing realisation that no single intervention is likely to halt malaria and a multipronged approach is needed including vector control.Very

Recombinant bacteria for mosquito control [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2003 SUMMARY Bacterial insecticides have been used for the control of nuisance and vector mosquitoes for more than two decades. Nevertheless, due primarily to their high cost and often only moderate efficacy, these insecticides remain of limited use in tropical countries where mosquito-borne diseases are prevalent.

Insect I‐Type Lysozymes Function as Antiviral Proteases by Forming Biomolecular Condensates
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Upon rice viral infection, the insect vector activates the Toll–MyD88–Dorsal signaling cascade, inducing i‐type lysozyme (Lyz‐I1) expression. Lyz‐I1 functions as an antiviral protease through its conserved catalytic dyad Glu/Asp (E/D), mediating cleavage of viral proteins at specific Lys (K) residues.

Current Topics in Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 Many barriers undermine vector surveillance and control efforts in the United States. Experts warn that such barriers, including funding, threaten the capacity of public-health surveillance systems to detect emerging mosquito-borne disease and respond ...

Mosquito Control: A Review [PDF]
, 2015 Mosquitoes are small insect which comprises the family culicidae. They are World wide except for Antartica and polar or subpolar regions of the World. Mosquitoes are vectors of many diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, West Nile Virus, dengue fever, filariasis, and some arboviruses. They are regarded as the most deadliest animal family ever known in

RNAi Regulator C3PO Promotes Arbovirus Infection in Insect Vectors
Advanced Science, EarlyView.RNA interference (RNAi) is vital for eukaryotes to defend against virus infection. The C3PO complex takes part in RNAi but its role in regulating viral infection remains unclear. This work finds that insect C3PO facilitates arbovirus replication by degrading precursors of miRNAs, especially miR‐971‐3p.
