Novel approaches to improve mosquito surveillance
Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) act as vectors of several pathogens that cause serious diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever, Zika, chikungunya, or West Nile fever, accounting for hundreds of thousands of human deaths every year. Mosquito surveillance allows to gather relevant information about the vector (presence, distribution, status ...

Characterization of a broad-based mosquito yeast interfering RNA larvicide with a conserved target site in mosquito semaphorin-1a genes [PDF]
BACKGROUND: RNA interference (RNAi), which has facilitated functional characterization of mosquito neural development genes such as the axon guidance regulator semaphorin-1a (sema1a), could one day be applied as a new means of vector control ...
