This paper develops an eco-evolutionary model to explain mosquito host specialisation, showing it is environmentally gated and influenced by resource availability and seasonality.

The paper presents a single-nucleus RNA sequencing atlas of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, identifying novel cell types and sexual dimorphism in gene expression across tissues.

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

The paper identifies polyadenylated viral transcripts as the primary targets of the Drosophila siRNA pathway during RNA virus infection, rather than viral genomes.

The paper sequences and annotates the genomes of two sand fly species, identifying genes related to vector biology and population structure to aid in leishmaniasis control.
