Journal ArticleDOI
Highly efficient Cas9-mediated gene drive for population modification of the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles stephensi
Valentino M. Gantz,Nijole Jasinskiene,Olga Tatarenkova,Aniko Fazekas,Vanessa M. Macias,Ethan Bier,Anthony A. James +6 more
TL;DR: A highly effective autonomous Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-associated protein 9 (Cas9)-mediated gene-drive system in the Asian malaria vector Anopheles stephensi, adapted from the mutagenic chain reaction (MCR).
Journal ArticleDOI
orco mutant mosquitoes lose strong preference for humans and are not repelled by volatile DEET
Matthew DeGennaro,Carolyn S. McBride,Laura F. Seeholzer,Takao Nakagawa,Takao Nakagawa,Emily Jane Dennis,Chloe Goldman,Nijole Jasinskiene,Anthony A. James,Leslie B. Vosshall,Leslie B. Vosshall +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the odorant receptor pathway is crucial for an anthropophilic vector mosquito to discriminate human from non-human hosts and to be effectively repelled by volatile DEET.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mariner transposition and transformation of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti
TL;DR: Molecular analysis of selected transformed families demonstrated that a single complete copy of the construct had integrated independently in each case and that it had done so in a transposase-mediated manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable transformation of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, with the Hermes element from the housefly
Nijole Jasinskiene,Craig J. Coates,Mark Q. Benedict,Anthony J. Cornel,Cristina S. Rafferty,Anthony A. James,Frank H. Collins +6 more
TL;DR: Her Hermes shows great promise as a vector for efficient, heritable, and stable transformation of this important mosquito vector species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Female-specific flightless phenotype for mosquito control
Guoliang Fu,Rosemary Susan Lees,Derric Nimmo,Diane Aw,Li Jin,Pam Gray,Thomas U. Berendonk,Helen White-Cooper,Sarah Scaife,Hoang Kim Phuc,Osvaldo Marinotti,Nijole Jasinskiene,Anthony A. James,Luke Alphey +13 more
TL;DR: Transgenic strains of Aedes aegypti engineered to have a repressible female-specific flightless phenotype are expected to facilitate area-wide control or elimination of dengue if adopted as part of an integrated pest management strategy.
