Telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of Microsporidia sp. MB, a microsporidian symbiont of Anopheles coluzzii isolated from Burkina Faso

The paper presents the first complete telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of Microsporidia sp. MB, revealing genomic features and gene loss associated with its symbiotic lifestyle.

Laboratory An. gambiae s.l. mosquito colonies show sustained high transmission of Microsporidia sp. MB and a small fecundity cost

The paper establishes stable Anopheles mosquito colonies carrying Microsporidia sp. MB and shows MB affects fecundity and spore production.

AUK3 is required for faithful nuclear segregation in the bloodstream form of Trypanosoma brucei

This study shows TbAUK3 is essential for proper nuclear segregation and DNA stability in Trypanosoma brucei, with depletion causing segregation defects and increased DNA instability.

Functional genetic validation of key genes conferringinsecticide resistance in the major African malaria vector,Anopheles gambiae

This paper functionally validates three genes associated with insecticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae by overexpressing them in transgenic mosquitoes and showing their role in resistance to different insecticide classes.
