Transinfection of Wolbachia wAlbB into Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes does not alter vector competence for Hawaiian avian malaria (Plasmodium relictum GRW4)

A. M. Kilpatrick, C. M. Seidl, I. J. Ipsaro, C. E. Garrison, G. Fabbri, P. I. Howell, A. G. McGowan, B. J. White, S. N. Mitchell

This study transinfected Wolbachia wAlbB into Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes and found no effect on vector competence for avian malaria, but noted strong effects of parasitemia and mosquito strain.

Dating the origin and spread of specialization on human hosts in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes

N. H. Rose, A. Badolo, M. Sylla, J. Akorli, S. Otoo, A. Gloria-Soria, J. R. Powell, B. J. White, J. E. Crawford, C. S. McBride

This study dates the origin of human-specialist mosquitoes in Aedes aegypti using genomic analysis and finds climate change and urbanization drove different phases of specialization.

Mark-release-recapture of male Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae): use of rhodamine B to estimate movement, mating and population parameters in preparation for an incompatible male program.

B. J. Trewin, D. Pagendam, B. J. Johnson, C. Paton, N. Snoad, S. Ritchie, K. M. Staunton, B. J. White, S. Mitchell, N. W. Beebe

The paper uses mark-release-recapture with rhodamine B to study male Aedes aegypti movement, mating, and population dynamics to inform incompatible insect technique strategies.

Chromosome arm specific patterns of polymorphism associated with chromosomal inversions in the major African malaria vector, Anopheles funestus

C. Kamdem, C. Fouet, B. J. White

The paper analyzes genetic variation in two Anopheles funestus populations, finding that chromosomal inversions significantly reduce nucleotide diversity and drive genetic divergence.
