Whereas studies have extensively examined the ability of bacteria to influence Plasmodium infection in the mosquito, the tripartite interactions between non-entomopathogenic fungi, mosquitoes, and… (More)

A strategy for recovering endangered species during climate change is to restore ecosystem processes that moderate effects of climate shifts. In mid-latitudes, storm patterns may shift their… (More)
There is considerable interest in the development of low-cost, low-power resistive sensors for possible application in hand-held gas monitors. In this paper we describe the fabrication of a… (More)
Insects rely on innate immune responses controlled by the immune deficiency (IMD), Toll, and other immune signaling pathways to combat infection by a broad spectrum of pathogens. These pathways… (More)
Actin is a highly versatile, abundant, and conserved protein, with functions in a variety of intracellular processes. Here, we describe a novel role for insect cytoplasmic actin as an extracellular… (More)
The mosquito’s innate immune system controls both Plasmodium and bacterial infections. We investigated the competitiveness of mosquitoes genetically modified to alter expression of their own… (More)
Mosquitoes possess an innate immune system that is capable of limiting infection by a variety of pathogens, including the Plasmodium spp. parasites responsible for human malaria. The Anopheles immune… (More)
Steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss (anadromous Rainbow Trout) near the southern limit of the species’ range commonly use shallow alluvial rivers for migration, spawning, and rearing. These rivers have… (More)
A host’s immune system plays a central role in shaping the composition of the microbiota and, in return, resident microbes influence immune responses. Symbiotic associations of the maternally… (More)
