Hypoxia-induced transcription factor signaling is essential for larval growth of the mosquito Aedes aegypti
Gut microbes positively affect the physiology of many animals, but the molecular
mechanisms underlying these benefits remain poorly understood. We recently reported that …

Ovary ecdysteroidogenic hormone requires a receptor tyrosine kinase to activate egg formation in the mosquito Aedes aegypti
Mosquitoes are major disease vectors because most species must feed on blood from a
vertebrate host to produce eggs. Blood feeding by the vector mosquito Aedes aegypti …
