Abstract:

The ultimate goal of this research was to perform a domain exchange between a computer identified insect specificity region of the mosquito larvicidal protein Cry IVB and a previously identified domain in a related protein toxin which targets lepidopteran insect larvae. If the insect specificity domain has been correctly identified, an exchange of DNA in this manner transfers the toxicity of one peptide to another by an exchange of the insect specificity domains. New, chimeric peptides may be designed which will target a larger spectrum of insect larvae.In previous research a domain exchange w

Various strains of Bacillus thuringiensis Mt.) produce crystalline endotoxins specific for larvae of different insect classes. Two strains, B.t. subspp. israelensis and kurstaki produce similar 130 kDa toxins encoded by the CryIVB gene (toxic to Diptera) and the CryIA gene (toxic to Lepidoptera), respectively. The N-terminal region of the CryIVB gene was cloned into the Escherichia coli expression vector pKX223-3. A mosquitocidal transformant was obtained as determined by mosquito bioassays. The gene fragment, if stable, can be cloned into cyanobacteria to achieve biological control of mosquit

Bacillus sphaericus 2362 is a mosquito pathogenic bacterium. Its greatest industrial potential may be in developing countries where mosquitos are often vectors for diseases.

A mosquito that bites an infected animal may pick up a virus within the blood meal. If the mosquito is the appropriate species, and conditions inside the insect and the surrounding environment are supportive, the virus reproduces within the mosquito. Later, the mosquito may pass the virus on to other animals (including humans) as they feed again.

Abstract:

Dengue is an important arboviral disease transmitted to humans through the bite of female mosquito Aedes aegypti. As there is no vaccine available, the control of disease occurs, mainly, by the reduction of mosquito population and personal protection to prevent contact between hosts and vectors. Given the increasing process of chemical resistance to insecticides, natural products emerge as safer alternatives for integrated control of endemic diseases. The aim of this work was to evaluate the larvicidal and repellent activities of essentials oils extracted from Xylopia laevigata, Xylopia frutes

Avian malaria (Plasmodium spp.) is a popular model system to study the ecology and evolution of parasite-host-vector interactions in the wild. These studies have historically focused mostly on the avian hosts and the malaria parasites. Knowledge regarding the role of vectors is essential to our understanding of these wild systems, but has only very recently started to accumulate. This thesis aimed to contribute to this field by assessing mosquito-malaria-host associations for British mosquitoes and the role of mosquito ecology in shaping these parasite systems in a British woodland study site,

However, the efficiency of many insecticides is challenged by resistant mosquito populations, lack of selectivity and off-target toxicity of currently used compounds.

Therefore, the phylogenetic history of the mitochondrial proteome is also unique within the total human proteome.

Little empirical data is available from which to determine the distributions of mosquito species in the UK.

Abstract:

Nine years after the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) pandemic in 2003, a novel human coronavirus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), emerged in the Middle East in 2012 and was believed to be of animal origin. Molecular study on the genome of MERS-CoV showed that it belongs to lineage C betacoronavirus and is closely related to the previously described Tylonycteris bat coronavirus HKU4 (Ty-BatCoV HKU4) and Pipistrellus bat coronavirus HKU5 (Pi-BatCoV HKU5) identified in Tylonycteris pachypus and Pipistrellus abramus respectively. In this study, 597 respiratory and
