Biology, Bionomics and Molecular Biology of Anopheles sinensis Wiedemann 1828 (Diptera: Culicidae), Main Malaria Vector in China [PDF]
China has set a goal to eliminate all malaria in the country by 2020, but it is unclear if current understanding of malaria vectors and transmission is sufficient to achieve this objective.

Gene amplification by PCR and subcloning into a GFP‐fusion plasmid expression vector as a molecular biology laboratory course* [PDF]
AbstractA novel experimental sequence for the advanced undergraduate laboratory course has been developed at Earlham College. Utilizing recent improvements in molecular techniques for a time‐sensitive environment, undergraduates were able to create a chimera of a selected gene and green fluorescent protein (GFP) in a bacterial expression plasmid over ...

Retrovirus vectors and their uses in molecular biology [PDF]
AbstractRetroviral vectors utilize the biochemical processes unique to retroviruses, to transfer genes with high efficiency into a wide variety of cell types in tissue culture and in living animals. With such vectors, the effect of newly introduced genes and the mechanism of gene expression can be studied in cell types so far refractory to other ...

Seamless, modular binary vectors for plant cell and molecular biology [PDF]
SummaryIn plants, genetic manipulations are commonly performed using Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a plant pathogen whose abilities as a ‘natural genetic engineer’ have been co‐opted for biotechnological applications. In the widely used binary vector systems, Agrobacterium already contains a plasmid with most of the genes needed for virulence and is ...

Comparison of the standard WHO susceptibility tests and the CDC bottle bioassay for the determination of insecticide susceptibility in malaria vectors and their correlation with biochemical and molecular biology assays in Benin, West Africa [PDF]
The detection of insecticide resistance in natural populations of Anopheles vectors is absolutely necessary for malaria control. In the African region, the WHO insecticide susceptibility test is the most common method for assessing resistance status.

Spatial distribution and insecticide resistance of Aedes mosquitoes in Osun State: implications for vector control [PDF]
Background Aedes mosquitoes are primary vectors of arboviral diseases, such as dengue, chikungunya, and Zika, posing major threats to tropical public health. Understanding their spatial distribution and resistance status is vital for sustainable control.
