This study investigates how dietary iron affects bacterial infections in Manduca sexta larvae, finding that increased iron does not enhance infection severity but has context-dependent effects on survival.

This study evaluates the larvicidal effects of Clonostachys rosea against Anopheles gambiae, showing both culture supernatant and conidia are effective, with supernatant being heat stable and conidia releasing toxins without germination.

This study shows that the culture supernatant of Trichoderma atroviride is a potent larvicide against Aedes albopictus, while conidia alone are not effective.

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.

This study manually annotates and refines gene models of the Toll pathway in 19 anopheline and 2 culicine mosquito genomes, revealing evolutionary constraints and radiation patterns.

The paper constructs a gene co-expression network for Anopheles gambiae using 257 studies, addressing missing values and analyzing network properties like degree distribution and community structure.
