The paper analyzes the transcriptomes of dengue mosquito neurons to show that olfactory receptors are coexpressed within families but not across families, revealing evolutionary patterns in olfactory systems.

This study examines the thermotolerance of mosquito eggs and adults from Aedes species, finding that human-associated lineages have higher egg viability under high-temperature stress.

This study identifies chromosomal inversions in Aedes aegypti using Hi-C, revealing geographic distribution patterns and potential roles in host choice and disease transmission.

This study sequenced 1,206 Aedes aegypti genomes to trace the origin and global spread of the species, revealing its evolution from a forest-dwelling to an urban, human-biting form and its impact on dengue risk.

The paper identifies novel persistent viruses in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes using small RNA sequencing and confirms their replication and transmissibility in cell lines.

The paper develops two pan-neuronal genetic drivers in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes using CRISPR/Cas9, enabling broad neuronal manipulation and labeling with minimal behavioral impact.

The paper shows that human odour activates unique combinations of olfactory glomeruli in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, with a specific glomerulus tuned to long-chain aldehydes found in human skin lipids.

The paper identifies specialized stylet neurons in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that detect blood over nectar, enabling distinct feeding programs for reproduction and survival.

The paper presents an improved Aedes aegypti genome assembly, AaegL5, which enhances biological understanding and vector control efforts by resolving key genomic features and identifying new targets for intervention.
