Ecology: Mosquitoes battle for territory
Competition from an invasive species has resulted in declining numbers of a resident US mosquito during the past few decades, but the resident looks to be evolving resistance to the invader's tactics....
Genetically-modified mosquito designed to avoid malaria spread
A model for a genetically-modified mosquito that produces malaria-combating antibodies and fails to transmit the disease has been developed.The modified Anopheles stephensi mosquito, a common carrier...
A Molecular Mechanism For Generation Of Large Force Inside Cells
To live is to move. You strike to swat that irritable mosquito, which skilfully evades the hand of death. How did that happen? Who moved your hand, and what saved the mosquito? Enter the Molecular Mot...
Potentially dangerous new malaria mosquito identified
Entomologists recently discovered a potentially dangerous new malaria-transmitting mosquito. The as yet unnamed, and previously unreported, mosquito breeds in the western areas of Kenya and has an unk...
Virginia Tech researchers alter mosquito genome in step toward controlling disease
(Virginia Tech) Virginia Tech scientists used a pair of engineered proteins to cut DNA in a site-specific manner to disrupt a targeted gene in the mosquito genome. The technique could be useful for co...
Low Mass Enables Mosquitoes To Fly In Rain
The mosquito is possibly summer's biggest nuisance. Sprays, pesticides, citronella candles, bug zappers - nothing seems to totally deter the blood-sucking insect. And neither can rain apparently. Even...
Fighting Malaria By Modifying Friendly Bacteria In Mosquito Gut
By genetically modifying gut bacteria in the malaria mosquito, US researchers have found a potentially powerful way to fight malaria. The modified "friendly" bacteria, which live in the midgut of th...
Pathogenic Mosquito Abundance In Catch Basins Affected By Heat, Rainfall
Rainfall and temperature affect the abundance of two mosquito species linked to West Nile Virus in storm catch basins in suburban Chicago, two University of Illinois researchers report. Marilyn O'Hara...

Enterobacter amnigenus An11, that can colonize the gut of mosquito larva, is an alternative toxin-producing host to be used as a mosquito control since it is able to float in the feeding zone of mosqu...
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: A review of the barriers to mosquito net use in malaria-endemic countries has yet to be presented in the published literature despite considerable research interest in this area....
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: In the Veneto region (north-eastern Italy) an entomological surveillance system has been implemented since the introduction of the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) in 199...
Dengue viruses (DENVs) generally induce apoptosis in mammalian cells but cause only minor damage in mosquito cells. To find genes involved in determining the cell fate, datasets derived from expressed...
An update on mosquito cell expressed dengue virus receptor proteins.
Dengue is the most important mosquito transmitted viral disease of humans worldwide. Despite intensive study over several decades, many of the fine details of the dengue virus (DENV) replication cycle...
