Learning to Count Mosquitoes for the Sterile Insect Technique [PDF]

Proceedings of the 23rd ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, 2017
Mosquito-borne illnesses such as dengue, chikungunya, and Zika are major global health problems, which are not yet addressable with vaccines and must be countered by reducing mosquito populations. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a promising alternative to pesticides; however, effective SIT relies on minimal releases of female insects.

JA‐Mediated Regulation of Amino Acid Homeostasis Adjusts Metabolic Flux and Enhances Spider Mite Tolerance via the SlJAZ8‐SlWRKY57‐SlAVT6s Module in Tomato

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study elucidates a novel SlJAZ8‐SlWRKY57‐SlAVT6A/SlAVT6B module that effectively channels metabolic flux from primary to secondary metabolism, impacting plant growth, development, and resistance. Two novel vacuolar amino acid exporters, SlAVT6A and SlAVT6B, fine‐tunes trichomes, terpenes, and gibberellins, bolstering spider mite resistance.

Transforming insect population control with precision guided sterile males with demonstration in flies

Nature Communications, 2019
Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is used to suppress wild populations. Here the authors integrate CRISPR-based technology and SIT to develop a precision guided SIT (pgSIT), and demonstrate its proof-of-principle by generating 100% sterile males.

Mosquito population control strategies for fighting against arboviruses

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2019
In the fight against vector-borne arboviruses, an important strategy of control of epidemic consists in controlling the population of the vector, Aedes mosquitoes in this case.

Optimal Control Approach for Implementation of Sterile Insect Techniques [PDF]

Journal of Mathematical Sciences
Vector or pest control is essential to reduce the risk of vector-borne diseases or crop losses. Among the available biological control tools, the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is one of the most promising. However, SIT-control campaigns must be carefully planned in advance in order to render desirable outcomes.

Hosts and Commensal Bacteria Synergistically Antagonize Opportunistic Pathogens at the Single‐Cell Resolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the tripartite‐species model, Drosophila larvae stimulate lactate production through excreting digestion enzymes. S. marcescens population senses a cue of lactate and tends to diverge into virulent and reduced virulence subclusters with remarkable heterogeneity to metabolize carbon metabolism and counter colonization resistance, giving a fitness ...
