This study shows that mosquito microbiota influences strain-specific Asaia colonization, which affects virus transmission and adult lifespan.

This study examines how climate-driven thermal changes affect an invasive temperate mosquito's vector competence for dengue and chikungunya viruses, revealing stage- and pathogen-specific thermal responses.

This study examines how heatwaves affect different developmental stages of Aedes albopictus, revealing stage-specific impacts on survival, development, and microbiota.

The paper presents de novo genome assemblies for two invasive mosquito species, Ae. japonicus and Ae. koreicus, using a hybrid sequencing approach and identifies genes related to thermal adaptation and insecticide resistance.
