The expanded immunoregulatory protease network in mosquitoes is governed by gene co-expression

This study identifies 27 CLIPs in Anopheles gambiae that form two subnetworks regulating antimicrobial activity and infection resistance through baseline co-expression rather than infection-induced upregulation.

The transcriptional response in mosquitoes distinguishes between fungi and bacteria but not Gram types

This study compares the transcriptional responses of mosquitoes to different pathogens and finds that they distinguish between fungi and bacteria but not Gram types.

Insight into the structural hierarchy of the protease cascade that regulates the mosquito melanization response

The paper defines the structural hierarchy of An. gambiae cSPs in the melanization cascade and shows their functional interactions with cSPHs.

CLIPB4 is a central node in the protease network that regulates humoral immunity in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes

The paper identifies CLIPB4 as a central protease in the immune network of Anopheles gambiae, showing its role in melanization and antibacterial immunity through interactions with SRPN2.

Ingested insecticide to control Aedes aegypti: Developing a novel dried attractive toxic sugar bait device for intra-domiciliary control

This study develops and tests a novel dried attractive toxic sugar bait device to kill Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, showing high lethality in both lab and semi-field settings.
