The whole-genome sequencing of mosquitoes has facilitated our understanding of
fundamental biological processes at their basic molecular levels and holds potential for …

Mosquitoes have a significant global impact on human health, yet only a small number of the
approximately 3,500 species are competent vectors for transmitting diseases. This has …

Viruses are the most abundant and diverse genetic entities on Earth; however, broad
surveys of viral diversity are hindered by the lack of a universal assay for viruses and the …

Abstract Background The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus is globally expanding and
has become the main vector for human arboviruses in Europe. With limited antiviral drugs …

Background Mosquitoes are the most important invertebrate viral vectors in humans and
harbor a high diversity of understudied viruses, which has been shown in many mosquito …

Recent advances in genetic engineering are bringing new promise for controlling mosquito
populations that transmit deadly pathogens. Here we discuss past and current efforts to …

Genetic strategies for reducing populations of vector mosquitoes or replacing them with
those that are not able to transmit pathogens benefit greatly from molecular tools that allow …

Mosquito transmitted viruses are responsible for an increasing burden of human disease.
Despite this, little is known about the diversity and ecology of viruses within individual …
