Use of Microbiota to Fight Mosquito-Borne Disease
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Mosquito-borne diseases cause more than 700 million people infected and one million people die (Caraballo and King, 2014). With the limitations of progress toward elimination imposed by insecticide- and drug-resistance, combined with the lack of vaccines,

Big Baby, Little Mother: Tsetse Flies Are Exceptions to the Juvenile Small Size Principle
BioEssays, Volume 42, Issue 11, November 2020., 2020 Imagine a mother giving birth to a baby that weighs as much as she does. This is an impossibility for most of the animal kingdom. An exception exists in a group of insects, like blood‐feeding tsetse flies, where a single larva is born as heavy as its mother. Abstract While across the animal kingdom offspring are born smaller than their parents, notable

Novel Signal Sequences and Fusion Partners for Paratransgenesis in Asaia [PDF]
, 2022 Mosquitoes transmit many pathogens that cause human disease. One such disease, malaria, is caused by parasites in the genus Plasmodium, infecting over 200 million people and killing over 600,000 per year.

Microbial control of arthropod-borne disease
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo CruzArthropods harbor a diverse array of microbes that profoundly influence many aspects of host biology, including vector competence. Additionally, symbionts can be engineered to produce molecules that inhibit pathogens.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.
