Sexual transmission of Anopheles gambiae densovirus (AgDNV) leads to disseminated infection in mated females

K. L. Werling, R. M. Johnson, H. C. Metz, J. L. Rasgon

This study shows that Anopheles gambiae densovirus (AgDNV) is transmitted from infected males to females during mating, leading to disseminated infection in females but not vertical transmission to offspring.

Evolution and genetics of precocious burrowing behavior in Peromyscus mice

H. C. Metz, N. L. Bedford, L. Pan, H. E. Hoekstra

This study identifies a genetic region linked to both juvenile and adult burrowing behavior in Peromyscus mice, suggesting pleiotropy or close linkage of genes affecting behavioral drive across life stages.
