Maltase 1 regulates DENV2 infection and life history in Aedes aegypti

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Our study employed CRISPR/Cas9 to generate a MAL1 knockout strain of Aedes aegypti, demonstrating that the absence of MAL1 significantly suppresses DENV2 replication in the midgut and impairs viral transmission. The mutation also altered life‐history (hatching/pupation/emerging rates and sex‐specific survival), identifying MAL1 as a novel target for ...

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...
