wMel replacement of dengue-competent mosquitoes is robust to near-term climate change

V. N. Vasquez, L. M. Kueppers, G. Rasic, J. M. Marshall

This study assesses the impact of climate change on the effectiveness of wMel Wolbachia-based mosquito control by integrating temperature sensitivity data into a population dynamics model.

Wolbachia wAlbB inhibit dengue and Zika infection in the mosquito Aedes aegypti with an Australian background

L. E. Hugo, G. Rasic, A. J. Maynard, L. Ambrose, C. Liddington, N. S. Nath, M. Graham, C. Winterford, B. M. C. R. Wimalasiri-Yapa, Z. Xi, N. W. Beebe, G. J. E. Devine

This paper demonstrates that the Wolbachia wAlbB2-F4 strain in Ae. aegypti mosquitoes effectively inhibits dengue and Zika virus infection while retaining the genetic background of Australian mosquitoes.

Close-kin mark-recapture methods to estimate demographic parameters of mosquitoes

Y. Sharma, J. B. Bennett, G. Rasic, J. M. Marshall

This paper extends close-kin mark-recapture methods to mosquitoes, showing they can accurately estimate demographic parameters like population size and mortality rates using genetic data from simulated populations.

Modeling confinement and reversibility of threshold-dependent gene drive systems in spatially-explicit Aedes aegypti populations

H. M. Sanchez C., J. B. Bennett, S. L. Wu, G. Rasic, O. S. Akbari, J. M. Marshall

The paper models threshold-dependent gene drive systems in Aedes aegypti populations to assess their confineability and reversibility through simulated releases.

Using spatial genetics to quantify mosquito dispersal for control programs

I. Filipovic, C. H. Hapuarachchi, W. P. Tien, A. A. R. Muhammed, C. Lee, C. H. Tan, G. J. Devine, G. Rasic

This paper uses spatial genetics to estimate mosquito dispersal patterns, finding an effective dispersal distance of 45.2 meters with an exponential kernel, matching mark-release-recapture results.

Fine-scale landscape genomics helps explain the slow spread of Wolbachia through the Aedes aegypti population in Cairns, Australia

T. L. Schmidt, I. Filipovic, A. A. Hoffmann, G. Rasic

The paper investigates slow Wolbachia spread in Cairns, Australia, finding dispersal barriers, long-distance mosquito movement, and Wolbachia loss as contributing factors.

Genome-Wide SNPs Reveal the Drivers of Gene Flow In An Urban Population of the Asian Tiger Mosquito, Aedes albopictus

T. L. Schmidt, G. Rasic, D. Zhang, X. Zheng, Z. Xi, A. Hoffmann

The paper uses genome-wide SNPs to analyze gene flow in Ae. albopictus, finding that distance from shipping terminals and isolation by distance drive genetic structure.

Extensive genetic differentiation between homomorphic sex chromosomes in the mosquito vector, Aedes aegypti

A. Fontaine, I. Filipovic, T. Fansiri, A. A. Hoffmann, C. Cheng, M. Kirkpatrick, G. Rasic, L. Lambrechts

The paper shows that sex chromosomes in Aedes aegypti are genetically differentiated over a large region, not just a small sex-determining region, and demonstrates how this can be used for accurate sex assignment and population genomic studies.
