A single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of the adult Aedes aegypti mosquito

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.

TNF signaling mediates cellular immune function and promotes malaria parasite killing in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae

This study identifies a conserved TNF signaling pathway in Anopheles gambiae that regulates immune cell function and limits Plasmodium parasite survival.

Mosquito immune cells enhance dengue and Zika virus dissemination in Aedes aegypti

This study shows mosquito immune cells help spread dengue and Zika viruses in Aedes aegypti, supporting a 'trojan horse' model of virus dissemination.

A genome-wide CRISPR screen in Anopheles mosquito cells identifies essential genes and required components of clodronate liposome function

The paper uses a genome-wide CRISPR screen in Anopheles mosquito cells to identify essential genes and factors involved in clodronate liposome function.

Aspirin inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis impairs egg development across mosquito taxa

This study shows aspirin inhibits egg development in mosquitoes by blocking prostaglandin synthesis, with effects observed in both Aedes albopictus and Anopheles gambiae.
