The paper identifies Y-linked sequences in two Neotropical malaria vectors using YGS and CQ methods, revealing gene-poor, repeat-rich Y chromosomes with no intact protein-coding genes.

The paper investigates whether Cenp-C genes duplicated alongside Cid genes in the montium group of Drosophila, finding that most species retain only one Cenp-C gene despite multiple syntenic loci.

The paper investigates trypanosomatid diversity in small mammals at a wildlife-urban interface, identifying zoonotic pathogens and highlighting public health risks.

This paper presents the genome of Anopheles aquasalis, a brackish-water malaria vector, and identifies key genes related to osmoregulation, immunity, and insecticide resistance.

This paper analyzes the testicles transcriptome of Rhodnius prolixus to identify genes involved in male reproduction and highlights the lack of functional annotations for many transcripts.

This paper identifies a Y-linked gene in Triatoma infestans orthologous to Drosophila kl-3, showing it is essential for male fertility through knockdown experiments.
