Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering RNA interference-based resistance to dengue virus type 2 in genetically modified Aedes aegypti
Alexander W. E. Franz,Irma Sanchez-Vargas,Zach N. Adelman,Carol D. Blair,Barry J. Beaty,Anthony A. James,Ken E. Olson +6 more
TL;DR: Engineering of transgenic A. aegypti that show a high level of resistance against DENV-2 provides a powerful tool for developing population replacement strategies to control transmission of dengue viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of virus-derived ping-pong-dependent piRNA-like small RNAs in the mosquito soma.
TL;DR: It is suggested that a non-canonical piRNA pathway is present in the soma of vector mosquitoes and may be acting redundantly to the siRNA pathway to target alphavirus replication.
Journal ArticleDOI
A male-determining factor in the mosquito Aedes aegypti
Andrew Brantley Hall,Sanjay Basu,Xiaofang Jiang,Yumin Qi,Vladimir A. Timoshevskiy,James K. Biedler,Maria V. Sharakhova,Rubayet Elahi,Michelle A. E. Anderson,Xiao-Guang Chen,Igor V. Sharakhov,Zach N. Adelman,Zhijian Tu +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that an M-locus gene, Nix, functions as an M factor in A. aegypti, and this study provides a foundation for mosquito control strategies that convert female mosquitoes into harmless males.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alphavirus-derived small RNAs modulate pathogenesis in disease vector mosquitoes
TL;DR: It is suggested that an exogenous siRNA pathway is essential to the survival of mosquitoes infected with alphaviruses and, thus, the maintenance of these viruses in nature.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Genome sequencing and annotation establish a solid foundation for future research on mechanisms of insecticide resistance, human-bed bug and symbiont–bed bug associations, and unique features of bed bug biology that contribute to the unprecedented success of C. lectularius as a human ectoparasite.
