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 identifies epigenetic regulators in Rhipicephalus microplus and shows that DNA methylation inhibition affects mitochondrial function and cell proliferation during embryogenesis.

The paper develops new methods for analyzing gene expression in Aedes aegypti embryos and identifies differences in early genetic control compared to fruit flies.

This study shows that the smORF-containing gene mlpt is essential for moulting in Rhodnius prolixus and inhibits Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclogenesis, impacting Chagas disease transmission.

This study investigates the function of the polycistronic gene tal/pri/mlpt in the hemimetabolous insect Rhodnius prolixus, revealing its conserved role in embryonic segmentation and development.
