Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Background Due to the effect of midgut bacteria on proliferation of parasites and their potential as paratransgenesis tools, their identification in malaria vector mosquitoes is important. Anopheles culicifacies s.l. is one of the main malaria vectors in

Paratransgenesis: a promising new strategy for mosquito vector control
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 The three main mosquito genera, Anopheles, Aedes and Culex, transmit respectively malaria, dengue and lymphatic filariasis. Current mosquito control strategies have proved unsuccessful, and there still is a substantial number of morbidity and mortality ...

Bacterial Competition Influences the Ability of Symbiotic Bacteria to Colonize Western Flower Thrips
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Symbiont mediated RNAi (SMR) is a promising method for precision control of pest insect species such as Western Flower Thrips (WFT). Two species of bacteria are known to be dominant symbiotic bacteria in WFT, namely BFo1 and BFo2 (Bacteria from ...

Evaluation of two candidate molecules-TCTP and cecropin-on the establishment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense into the gut of Glossina palpalis gambiensis. [PDF]
Insect SciThis study investigates the potential of enhancing the resistance of Glossina palpalis gambiensis to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense to mitigate the transmission of Human African Trypanosomiasis. We successfully cloned genes encoding proteins of interest in Sodalis strains, resulting in recombinant Sodalis (recSodalis) that were micro‐injected into the L3

Novel Asaia bogorensis Signal Sequences for Plasmodium Inhibition in Anopheles stephensi
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Mosquitoes vector many pathogens that cause human disease, such as malaria that is caused by parasites in the genus Plasmodium. Current strategies to control vector-transmitted diseases are hindered by mosquito and pathogen resistance, so research has ...

Microbial degradation of plant toxins
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 12, Page 2988-3010, December 2023., 2023 Plants produce a variety of secondary metabolites. This review summarizes the knowledge on microbial degradation of those metabolites with a focus on the genes and enzymes involved in the biodegradation pathways. Knowledge gaps and possible biotechnological applications of plant metabolite degrading microorganisms are highlighted.
