Exploiting the Conflict Within: Examining Tripartite Interactions for Development of Next Generation Mosquito Microbiome Vector Control Strategies.
Mosquitoes harbor various microbes that profoundly influence many aspects of their biology, including vector competence. Given their intimate association, these microbes have established a wide range of strategies aiding them in their transmission, either horizontally or vertically, making them …

Investigation of Specialized Metabolites in Apicomplexan Parasite Life Cycles
… include pharmaceuticals and prevention of mosquito-based transmission through insecticides and bed nets. Despite this, malaria has prevailed. Efforts were devised to understand the chemical ecology surrounding malaria parasites during the mosquito stage to ultimately reduce transmission. …

Vector Competence of Aedes aegypti for Zika Virus and Effects of Colonization
… 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 disease vectors and is studied in laboratories …

Comparative studies of the microbial composition and diversity of container-dwelling mosquitoes
The growing problem of mosquito resistance to chemical insecticides has reinforced the urgent need to develop alternative vector control strategies that exploits current advances in mosquito biology including mosquito-microbe interactions. The goal of this research was to develop a better …
