This study shows that arboviruses reduce salivation in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes by disrupting salivary gland organization, potentially enhancing virus transmission.

This paper demonstrates successful gene editing in Rhodnius prolixus using ReMOT Control and DIPA-CRISPR methods, achieving mutations in eye and cuticle color genes.

This paper identifies pigmentation genes in Rhodnius prolixus that can serve as visible markers for genome editing and transgenesis to control Chagas disease vectors.

The paper improves the genome and transcriptome of Rhodnius prolixus by identifying over 2,000 novel genes and analyzing stage-specific gene expression during oogenesis.

This study investigates the function of the polycistronic gene tal/pri/mlpt in the hemimetabolous insect Rhodnius prolixus, revealing its conserved role in embryonic segmentation and development.
