Recent developments and future directions in the paratransgenesis based control of Leishmania transmission

open access: yes, 2020
Vector-borne diseases are one of the main concerns regarding global health. Among these, leishmaniasis stands as one of the most serious issues. This disease is transmitted via the bite of female phlebotomine sand flies.

A paratransgenic strategy to block transmission of Xylella fastidiosa from the glassy-winged sharpshooter Homalodisca vitripennis

open access: yesBMC Biotechnology, 2018
Background Arthropod-borne diseases remain a leading cause of human morbidity and mortality and exact an enormous toll on global agriculture. The practice of insecticide-based control is fraught with issues of excessive cost, human and environmental ...

Aerobic midgut microbiota of sand fly vectors of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis from northern Iran, a step toward finding potential paratransgenic candidates

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Leishmaniasis is caused by Leishmania parasites and is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected sand flies. Development of Leishmania to infective metacyclic promastigotes occurs within the sand fly gut where the gut microbiota ...

Persistent infection by Wolbachia wAlbB has no effect on composition of the gut microbiota in adult female Anopheles stephensi

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The bacteria in the midgut of Anopheles stephensi adult females from laboratory colonies were studied by sequencing the V4 region of 16S rRNA genes, with respect to three experimental factors: stable or cured Wolbachia infection; sugar or blood diet; and

Engineering of recombatinant antimalria antibodies for application in paratransgenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Malaria, transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes is responsible for millions of deaths worldwide, especially in the developing countries. The emergence of drug resistant parasites and insecticide resistant vectors has stimulated efforts to develop novel ...

Selection of cultivable bacterial species, symbionts of Anopheles darlingi (Root, 1926), for the malaria control by paratransgenesis

open access: yes, 2020
Apesar dos avanços positivos na luta contra a malária a cada ano, essa doença ainda é uma das mais letais entre as doenças parasitárias transmitidas por vetores em todo o mundo, com os maiores registros de mortes na África, causados principalmente por ...
