The gene is responsible for males being drawn to the sound of the wingbeat of females. Mutating this gene, known as the fruitless gene, in males makes them incapable of locating female mosquitoes to mate, according to the team, comprising…
The assay targets a diagnostic single-nucleotide polymorphism within the Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 (ITS2) region of ribosomal DNA. According to the authors, Mohamed Kader Haidara, Gleb N. Artemov and Igor V. Sharakhov, the method was designed to be rapid, sensitive, specific and suitable for…
Malaria remains one of the world’s most serious infectious diseases, causing an estimated 282 million cases and 610,000 deaths in 2024, with the burden concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa. While genomic and transcriptomic tools have deepened understanding of host, parasite and vector biology, they…
Deleting the lipid droplet kinase gene in Trypanosoma cruzi reduced lipid droplet accumulation, increased resistance to hydrogen peroxide, and sharply lowered infectivity in fibroblasts without affecting parasite growth or benznidazole susceptibility. Researchers have carried out the first functional characterization of…
So far, there have been reports of the moth in Benin, Togo and Nigeria, as well as the archipelago São Tomé and Príncipe. However, it is likely that it may also be established in several other African states. In the…
