Summary: In this study, secondary metabolites of 232 Actinomycetes strains were screened for their juvenile hormone antagonist activity and mosquito larvicidal activity. Among them, the strains IMBL-1939, 1952, 2005, and 2064 showed mosquito larvicidal activity with JHAN activity. These actinomycetes derived JHAN could serve as alternative sustainable vector control agents.

Summary: Diseases transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes are a growing global concern. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a strategy for controlling mosquito populations, and egg storage is essential in SIT programs. This study found that two moisturizing substances, hydrolyzed collagen and Hyalurosmooth(R), can prolong the viability of Aedes mosquito eggs, showing promise in mass rearing insect production for vector control.

Summary: Recurring seasonal changes can lead to the evolution of phenological cues. For example, many arthropods undergo photoperiodic diapause when the days get shorter in autumn. This study shows that latitudinal clines in diapause timing of an invasive mosquito can be explained by a novel application of a growing degree day model.

Summary: The study identified a JH-mediated mechanism involving E75-RD in regulating miRNA gene expression, particularly the positive regulation of miRNAs such as miR-2940. Functional experiments confirmed the significant impact of miR-2940 on follicle development and egg production.

Summary: This study investigated the use of nitrogen in the irradiation of adult Aedes albopictus and Ae. aegypti. The results showed that nitrogen treatment improved the longevity of irradiated males but slightly reduced their flight ability. Nitrogen treatment was found to be a reliable method for adult mosquito immobilization.

Summary: Temperature has profound effects on the blood feeding and activity patterns of the globally invasive mosquito species Aedes albopictus, with higher temperatures resulting in increased activity but decreased blood feeding.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic diversity of Ecuadorian populations of Aedes albopictus, a mosquito species known for transmitting viral diseases, and predicted its suitable habitats in Ecuador. The results revealed two haplotypes within the populations, suggesting potential differences in adaptation traits between them. The study also presented a prediction model that showed the vector could spread through all regions of Ecuador, including the Galapagos Islands. Understanding different aspects of the local populations can contribute to better vector surveillance and control strategies in the country.

Summary: Anopheles stephensi, an invasive malaria vector native to South Asia and the Arabian Peninsula, was detected in Djibouti's seaport, followed by Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, and Nigeria. Bilateral maritime trade data was used to identify at-risk countries and develop prioritization lists based on the likelihood of introduction. Sudan and Djibouti were ranked as the top two countries with the highest likelihood of An. stephensi introduction through maritime trade. Network analysis highlighted potential introduction pathways and identified countries for surveillance and control efforts.

Summary: A study conducted in Ibague, Colombia found that Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are vectors for dengue, Zika, and chikungunya viruses, with dengue and chikungunya circulating in the area but Zika virus remaining undetected. The research results showed that mosquitoes were mainly found in low socioeconomic areas and indoors, with a higher number of female mosquitoes that have fed on human blood, indicating a high risk of arbovirus transmission in Ibague.

Summary: The study compared the genetic diversity and structure of Ae. albopictus and Ae. flavopictus in Korea, finding that Ae. albopictus had lower genetic diversity, while Ae. flavopictus showed higher genetic diversity. Although the genetic structure of both species was not significant, Ae. flavopictus exhibited greater genetic diversity compared to Ae. albopictus.

Summary: This study evaluated the repellent activity of 60 commercial essential oils against Aedes albopictus and identified the active compounds through GC-MS analysis. The results showed that cinnamaldehyde, citral, and terpinen-4-ol exhibited high repellent activity, and their nanoemulsions had a prolonged mosquito protection time compared to normal solutions.

Summary: This review explores the correlations between temperature and dengue epidemics, including the distribution and development of Aedes mosquitoes, the structure of DENV, and the vector competence of Aedes mosquitoes. Additionally, it discusses the immune and metabolic mechanism through which temperature affects the vector competence of Aedes mosquitoes to transmit DENV.

Summary: The study successfully developed a long-lasting biological larvicide called Bti-BLOCK, which demonstrated good efficacy in controlling the dengue vector mosquito Ae. albopictus in both laboratory and field experiments. Bti-BLOCK slowly released insecticidal toxins, maintaining effective dose for up to 6 months, lasting for at least 12 weeks in the laboratory and at least 6 weeks in the field.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effects of TPMS on penile microvascular perfusion (MVP), evaluate the impact of cavernosal nerve injury (CNI) on MVP, and determine the time-course of cavernosal tissue elastin changes after CNI in rats. The results showed that TPMS had beneficial effects on penile MVP after CNI, potentially improving erectile dysfunction and sexual function preservation.
