This study identifies cholesterol and desmosterol metabolism as critical for mosquito development and reproduction, revealing a diet-encoded regulatory mechanism and a metabolic vulnerability in mosquitoes.

This paper develops a genetic sexing strain in Aedes albopictus mosquitoes by combining CRISPR-engineered selectable traits with sex conversion, enabling efficient and accurate sex separation.

The paper introduces 3D-Feedy, an open-source membrane feeder for mosquitoes that is cost-effective, portable, and achieves comparable or better performance than commercial alternatives.
