Mosquito transgenesis for malaria control

Shengzhang Dong et al.

Summary: Mosquito transgenesis and gene drive are promising tools for preventing the spread of malaria by self-destructing or replacing mosquito populations. Mosquito transgenesis is proposed as a complement to existing vector-control strategies rather than a stand-alone approach.

A Broad-Based Mosquito Yeast Interfering RNA Pesticide Targeting Rbfox1 Represses Notch Signaling and Kills Both Larvae and Adult Mosquitoes

Keshava Mysore et al.

Summary: The research found that engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing RNA interference can silence genes in mosquitoes, serving as a green insecticide in mosquito control programs. This method effectively controls larvae and adults of Aedes aegypti in laboratory and outdoor environments, with no impact on the survival of non-target insects.

Challenges to Mitigating the Urban Health Burden of Mosquito-Borne Diseases in the Face of Climate Change

Antonio Ligsay et al.

Summary: Cities worldwide are under pressure to develop mitigation strategies for climate change impacts, with urban heat island effect and mosquito-borne diseases being significant challenges. Current health mitigation strategies for heat and pollution may have unintended consequences on mosquito-borne diseases. Implementing multi-sectoral strategies is crucial for optimal resource utilization.

RNAi-Mediated Screening of Selected Target Genes Against Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae)

Sayed M. S. Khalil et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of RNAi on larval mortality and adult emergence of Cx. quinquefasciatus, identifying three genes with the highest mortality using two delivery methods. These three genes are active against a wide range of insects and could be potential candidates for RNAi-based mosquito control in the future.

Bacterial Toxins Active against Mosquitoes: Mode of Action and Resistance

Maria Helena Neves Lobo Silva-Filha et al.

Summary: Bti and L. sphaericus are bacterial larvicides effective for controlling medically important dipteran insects with specific and potent insecticidal activity. Bti crystals contain multiple protoxins with low risk of resistance selection, while L. sphaericus crystals have a superior persistence in field conditions but are vulnerable for resistance selection due to their interaction with a single receptor.

Development of miRNA-Based Approaches to Explore the Interruption of Mosquito-Borne Disease Transmission

Tie-Long Xu et al.

Summary: The review article discusses the progress and challenges in utilizing miRNA-based approaches to interrupt the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases since 2005. It highlights the diversification of miRNAs and their different roles in regulating mosquito immunity and development in response to different pathogens. The study found that mosquito miRNAs can indirectly regulate Plasmodium infection by binding to mosquito mRNA, while they can directly modify viral replication in the case of arboviruses.

Which Is Stronger? A Continuing Battle Between Cry Toxins and Insects

Lu Liu et al.

Summary: This article reviews the insecticidal mechanisms of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry toxins and the resistance mechanisms of insects against Cry toxins, proposing that new models are required to fully describe the complexity of the insecticidal process. Insects mainly employ gene mutations or trans-regulation to reduce effective binding of Cry toxins, with epigenetic mechanisms, host intestinal microbiota, and detoxification enzymes also playing significant roles in resistance. High-throughput sequencing technologies are powerful tools for studying these mechanisms and may facilitate the further development and utilization of Cry toxins.

Rhys Parry et al.

Summary: Analysis of over 3000 RNA sequencing libraries revealed virome diversity of Aedes mosquitoes, identifying novel and previously characterized viruses. Significant inter-host variation of insect-specific viruses within individuals and virus diversity in Wolbachia infected Aedes cell lines were found. This study expands our understanding of important vector viromes and provides a resource for further research on the ecology and evolution of these viruses.

Summary: The study analyzed 58 Cry proteins from three insect orders, revealing that structural and functional divergence of Bt may have occurred due to inner-molecular domain shift or domain insertion/deletion during the evolutionary process. The research findings contribute to understanding the diversity and specificity of insecticidal proteins, and their potential application as biopesticides in agriculture.
