Gene editing in Aedes aegypti
Aedes aegypti (Ae. aegypti) is one of the most important vectors of dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever viruses. The use of chemical control strategies such as insecticides is associated with problems including the development of insecticide resistance, side effects on animal and human health, and …

Biological rhythms in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are found globally and also act as the primary vector of Zika, dengue, and Chikungunya viruses, for which there are limited treatment options and no vaccines available. The use of insecticides as the main control strategy against diseases transmitted by this mosquito, is …

Response to visual threats in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
… escape responses from the Yellow Fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. A virtual reality environment was adapted from previous work, to display the looming stimulus while the mosquito is in a variety of conditions (i.e., landed, in free or tethered flight). Results from these experiments allowed us to …

Identifying Novel Contributors to RNA Interference in Aedes aegypti
Aedes aegypti is an important vector of human pathogens including the viruses yellow fever, dengue and chikungunya. The small interfering RNA (siRNA) pathway is a critical immune response for controlling viral replication in Aedes aegypti. The goal of this research is to identify components of the …

The impact of chlortetracycline on Drosophila melanogaster and Aedes aegypti
… The impact of chlortetracycline treatment on Aedes aegypti and Drosophila melanogaster was investigated by assessing life-span, fecundity, development time, survival, nutrition and metabolism. The impact on microbial numbers and diversity was also determined. With Drosophila, treatment with 50 …

Aedes aegypti Heat Shock 70 Genes and their Inducible Promoters
Aedes aegypti is an important vector of the viruses that cause dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and yellow fever. In depth genetic studies of vector species have been made possible due to the availability of genome sequences and techniques for producing stably transformed mosquitoes. These …

The role of midgut serine proteases in Aedes aegypti vector competence
… by midgut trypsins to efficiently infect Aedes aegypti. These results suggest midgut serine proteases may influence A. aegypti vector competence. The requirement of serine proteases in DENV-2 infection of the vector provides unique targets for development of novel control strategies …

The Neuropeptide Regulation of Host-Seeking Behavior in Aedes Aegypti Mosquitoes
<p>Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are the principal vectors for several human diseases including Dengue Fever, which causes ~400 million cases and ~24,000 deaths per year (Bhatt et al., 2013; WHO, 2002). Novel strategies to combat mosquito-borne diseases are needed for A. aegypti and other mosquitoes …

Cells that Kill: The Chemosensory Cell Types of Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes
… doctoral work, I studied chemosensation in the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which can detect cues including human odor, carbon dioxide, and insect repellents. Mosquitoes are human's deadliest predator, causing 700,000 deaths every year through the transmission of malaria parasites and arboviruses …

Genetic factors affecting the RNA interference pathway of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are the vectors of many significant arboviruses that cause tremendous social and economic impact. RNA interference (RNAi) plays a crucial role in the vector competence of mosquitoes and is often targeted in studies involving mosquito innate immunity, genetics-based vector …

Salinity Responsiveness of Aquaporins in Osmoregulatory Organs of Larval Mosquito Aedes Aegypti
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes harbour and transmit arboviral diseases such as chikungunya, dengue, yellow fever, and Zika. The aquatic larvae typically reside in freshwater environments that impose an osmotic challenge of water accumulation in their hemolymph across larval surfaces. Natural phenomena …

Vector Competence of Aedes aegypti for Zika Virus and Effects of Colonization
… of influences the vector competence of Aedes aegypti for Zika virus (ZIKV) as well as the microbiome as a correlating factor. Ae. aegypti is the vector of multiple arthropod-borne viruses including dengue, yellow fever, and Zika virus, making it one of the most globally significant …

Dining in the Dark ATP Sensing in the Female Aedes Aegypti Mosquito
<p>Blood feeding is fundamental for female <em>Aedes aegypti </em>mosquitoes, which require this protein-rich meal for egg development. After being attracted to a human host by sensory cues such as body odor, body heat, and carbon dioxide exhaled in human breath, the mosquito lands and probes under …

Exogenously-introduced Homing Endonucleases Catalyze Double-stranded DNA Breaks in Aedes aegypti
Aedes aegypti transmits the viruses which cause yellow fever, dengue fever, and dengue hemorrhagic fever. Homing endonucleases are selfish genetic elements which introduce double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) breaks in a sequence-specific manner. In this study, we aimed to validate a somatic assay to detect …
