This study examines how egg-stage desiccation affects developmental success and adult performance in three Mediterranean fruit fly lines with different Wolbachia infections, finding strain-dependent Wolbachia-associated costs.

This study analyzes mitochondrial COI gene sequences of Ae. albopictus in Greece to assess genetic diversity and phylogeography, revealing haplotype changes over time and geographic distribution.

This paper develops a marker-assisted mapping strategy to enable forward genetic analysis in Aedes aegypti, identifying a causal gene for a sex-linked mutation and demonstrating its utility for genetic sexing and resistance gene mapping.

The paper detects and characterizes two Wolbachia variants in Argentinean Anastrepha fraterculus sp1, finding evidence of male-killing associated with one variant.
