Abstract The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus is currently spreading across Europe,
facilitated by climate change and global transportation. It is a vector of arboviruses causing …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool to silence endogenous mosquito and mosquito-
borne pathogen genes in vivo. As the number of studies utilizing RNAi in basic research …

Mosquito-borne diseases are responsible for several million human deaths annually around
the world. One approach to controlling mosquito populations is to disrupt molecular …

Blood-feeding behavior has independently evolved in arthropods multiple times. Unlike hard
ticks, soft ticks employ a rapid-feeding strategy for hematophagy, and there are …

Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata is a highly polyphagous pest of solanaceous plants in
Asia and has been predominantly controlled using synthetic insecticides. The intensive use …

'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus'(CLas), the devastating pathogen related to

Interactions between insects and plant pathogens have been more enthusiastically studied
in the recent decade, especially those relationships which takes the insects as vectors. The …

Blood feeding by vector mosquitoes provides the entry point for disease pathogens and
presents an acute metabolic challenge that must be overcome to complete the gonotrophic …

Coatomer and v-ATPase are two genes expressed in insect midgut epithelial cells and their
knockdown is lethal to insect larvae. To investigate the RNAi response mediated by multiple …
