Vector control strategies based on population modification of Anopheline mosquitoes may
have a significant role in the malaria eradication agenda. They could consolidate elimination …

A Cas9/guide RNA-based gene drive strain, AgNosCd-1, was developed to deliver antiparasite
effector molecules to the malaria vector mosquito, Anopheles gambiae. The drive system …

Background Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) transmitted by mosquito vectors cause
many important emerging or resurging infectious diseases in humans including dengue, …

Proposed genetic approaches for reducing human malaria include population modification,
which introduces genes into vector mosquitoes to reduce or prevent parasite transmission. …

Gene drive technologies represent powerful tools to develop vector control strategies that
will complement the current approaches to mitigate arthropod-borne infectious diseases. The …

Small laboratory cage trials of non-drive and gene-drive strains of the Asian malaria vector
mosquito, Anopheles stephensi, were used to investigate release ratios and other strain …

Horizontal gene transfer from viruses to eukaryotic cells is a pervasive phenomenon. Somatic
viral integrations are linked to persistent viral infection whereas integrations into germline …

… B) Ovary (Ov) and eggshell (ES) protein preparations dissolved in SDS/β-mercaptoethanol
buffer resolved using 4–15% SDS-PAGE and stained with Coomassie blue R. The …

Insect ommochrome biosynthesis pathways metabolize tryptophan to generate eye-color
pigments and wild-type alleles of pathway genes are useful phenotypic markers in …

Background Quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction has been
widely used in gene expression analysis, however, to have reliable and accurate results, …
