Surgical removal of implanted microchips to correct MRI susceptibility artifacts in mice

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Implanted microchips are becoming increasingly common in research for animal identification and have been adopted by commercial vendors for some mouse strains. However, they often contain metal components, which generate magnetic susceptibility artifacts on MR images.

Flavivirus NS1 protein in infected host sera enhances viral acquisition by mosquitoes

open access: yesNature Microbiology, 2016
The arbovirus life cycle involves viral transfer between a vertebrate host and an arthropod vector, and acquisition of virus from an infected mammalian host by a vector is an essential step in this process.

New species and new records in Agarista (Ericaceae) from the Peruvian Andes

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Agarista (Ericaceae) is currently represented in Peru by three species. Here, we update this number to five, adding new taxa based on the recognition of a taxonomic novelty and new records. The new species Agarista eugeniifolia differs from all congeneric species by an abaxially sulcate midvein.

The Oldest Mosquitoes [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1919
THE REV. PETER BELLINGER BRODIE, in his “History of the Fossil Insects of the Secondary Rocks of England,” gave a figure of a small fly which he named Culex (?) fossilis. This insect, from the Purbeck strata, would be by far the oldest mosquito known, were it a veritable Culex.

Do environmental fluctuations during development affect trait variation? An experimental test with salinity

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Human‐induced climate change is a driver of extinction, with extreme events occurring more frequently. It increases both the amount and fluctuations in environmental stress that organisms experience. In such environments, greater intra‐specific trait variation creates more potential for adaptation through natural selection.

The antiviral piRNA response in mosquitoes?

open access: yesJournal of General Virology, 2018
There are several RNA interference (RNAi) pathways in insects. The small interfering RNA pathway is considered to be the main antiviral mechanism of the innate immune system; however, virus-specific P-element-induced Wimpy testis gene (PIWI)-interacting ...
