This paper shows that blocking the vitellogenin receptor in Rhodnius prolixus causes yolk depletion and changes in the oocyte microbiome, including reduced bacteria and increased viruses.

This study uses RNA-seq to assess the transcriptional effects of cisplatin and TiO2 nanoparticles in Drosophila, finding synergistic gene suppression and impaired climbing performance in combined exposure.
