Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Exploring the potential of using male‐killing endosymbionts to induce female‐biased insect populations for enhanced biomass production

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Overview of the mindset and long‐term goals with the approach suggested in this study. We provide a first proof of concept that male‐killing endosymbionts can be used to establish female biased populations with higher production efficiency than populations with a 50/50 sex ratio. This biological tool can have marked positive impact on future commercial

Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived bacterial semiochemicals

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling regulates fluid excretion and uric acid metabolism in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling via its receptor has integral roles in mosquito physiology, mediating fluid excretion, stimulating hindgut contractions, and in modulating uric acid levels. Together, these results uncover previously unrecognized roles of prostaglandin signaling in osmotic balance and metabolic homeostasis in mosquitoes.

Effects of Vector Density on Blood Parasite Spread and Health Consequences for Avian Hosts: An Experimental Epidemiology Blueprint

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In an experimental epidemiology setup, groups of pigeons were exposed to different numbers of infective malaria vectors. Vector number explained the speed of transmission, the final prevalence, and changes in host behavior. ABSTRACT Vector density plays a critical role in the transmission dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and thus in their health and ...
