Simple Summary Efficient and proper functioning of processes within living organisms play
key roles in times of climate change and strong human pressure. In insects, the most …

The endocrine system plays a pivotal role in sha** the mechanisms that ensure
successful reproduction. With over a million known insect species, understanding the …

The balance between immunity and reproduction is essential for many key physiological
functions. We report that to maintain an optimal fertility, 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) and the …

Hematophagous mosquitoes require vertebrate blood for their reproductive cycles, making
them effective vectors for transmitting dangerous human diseases. Thus, high-intensity …

Aedes aegypti are vectors for several arboviruses infecting hundreds of millions of people
annually. Controlling mosquito populations by regulating their reproduction is a potential …

ABSTRACT Ecdysone-induced protein 93 (E93), known as the 'adult-specifier'transcription
factor in insects, triggers metamorphosis in both hemimetabolous and holometabolous …

Female mosquitoes are vectors of many devastating human diseases because they require
blood feeding to initiate reproduction. Thus, elucidation of molecular mechanisms managing …

Several endocrine signals mediate mosquito egg development, including 20-
hydroxyecdysone (20E). This study reports on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) as an additional, but …

Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes undergo multiple rounds of reproduction, known as
gonotrophic cycles. These cycles span the period from blood meal intake to oviposition …

Anautogenous female mosquitoes obtain the nutrients needed for egg development from
vertebrate blood, and consequently they transmit numerous pathogens of devastating …
