Characterizing the Microbiome and Prevalence of Wolbachia in Culex pipiens Complex and Culex restuans Mosquitoes in the Midwest United States

Rebecca E Cloud, Patrick Irwin, Ephantus J. Muturi, Carla E. Cáceres

Despite the ecological importance of symbiotic relationships, few studies have explored how microbial communities vary across species complexes or within hybrid zones. We characterized the spatial and temporal variation in microbial communities in Culex pipiens complex and Culex restuans mosquitoes, the most …

Fungal Community Composition and Diversity Across Soil Depths Under Different Cover Crop Treatments

Ephantus J. Muturi, Christopher A. Dunlap, José (O.F.M.) Ramírez, William L. Perry et autres

Fungi are a critical component of microbial biomass in agricultural soils, but their distribution across soil depths under different cover crops remains poorly understood. We used high-throughput sequencing of fungal ITS1 amplicons to characterize fungal communities across four soils depths (0–2, 2–4, …

Insecticide resistance profiles of Anopheles arabiensis and relationship with Microsporidia MB infection in two rice agroecosystems in Kenya

Winfred Kendi Mutwiri, Ephantus J. Muturi, Jackson W. Muthengia, Nancy L. M. Budambula et autres

BACKGROUND: Insecticide resistance monitoring in vector populations is a key pillar of the Global Plan for Insecticide Resistance Management in malaria vectors. This study assessed the susceptibility of Anopheles arabiensis populations from Mwea and Ahero, Kenya to six insecticides. The association between …

Insecticidal activity of manuka essential oil triketones against two major lepidopteran pests

Ephantus J. Muturi, Mathew A Neidmann, Victor P Ribeiro, Erica J. Goett et autres

Abstract BACKGROUND Caterpillars of moths and butterflies represent some of the most destructive agricultural pests and have become increasingly resistant to synthetic chemical insecticides. Manuka essential oil is known to be a potent alternative to synthetic insecticides, but its potential to control …

Chronology of Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and pyrethroid resistance and the associated mutations in Anopheles stephensi : Insights from areas where the vector is native and invasive

Daniel Nzioka Munywoki, JOSEPH M. MWANGANGI, Imelda K. Moise, E. D. Kokwaro et autres

Anopheles stephensi (Diptera: Culicidae), a primary malaria vector native to south Asia and the Arabian peninsula, has recently spread to Sri Lanka and the Horn of Africa (HOA). Its arrival poses a serious challenge to malaria control initiatives, particularly in the rapidly …

Larvicidal and Immunomodulatory Effects of Conidia and Blastospores of Beauveria bassiana and Beauveria brongniartii in Aedes aegypti

Jose Luis Ramirez, Haley M. Gore, Angela Payne, Salorrane Miranda do Nascimento Pinto et autres

The increasing global burden of mosquito-borne diseases and the widespread development of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes have fueled renewed interest in entomopathogenic fungi as effective tools that are compatible with existing mosquito control strategies. These fungi produce different types of infective propagules, …
