Internal and external microbiota of home-caught Anopheles coluzzii (Diptera: Culicidae) from Cote d'Ivoire, Africa: Mosquitoes are filthy
PLOS ONE, 17(12).
Ed(s): O. Terenius
MeSH headings : Animals; Humans; Anopheles / genetics; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics; Cote d'Ivoire; Malaria; Bacteria / genetics; Microbiota / genetics; Mosquito Vectors
TL;DR:
The bacterial community of the external surface and internal body of female Anopheles coluzzii adults collected from homes in Côte d’Ivoire, Africa, is examined by Illumina sequencing of the V3 to V4 region of 16S rRNA gene.

Bacterial Microbiota of Field-Collected Helicoverpa zea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from Transgenic Bt and Non-Bt Cotton
MICROORGANISMS, 9(4).
author keywords: Helicoverpa zea; cotton; Bt; resistance; tolerance; microbiota
TL;DR:
It is found that WideStrike samples had a higher bacterial density and diversity per larva than insects collected from non-Bt cotton over two field seasons, and argues for more research to better understand the role of cotton–bollworm–bacteria interactions and the impact on Bt toxin caterpillar susceptibility.

2021 journal article
Characterization of Long Non-Coding RNAs in the Bollworm, Helicoverpa zea, and Their Possible Role in Cry1Ac-Resistance
INSECTS, 13(1).
author keywords: long non-coding RNAs; Helicoverpa zea; Bt-resistance; Cry1Ac resistance; RNA-seq; lncRNA; bollworms; gene regulation
TL;DR:
Characterization of non-coding genetic mechanisms in Helicoverpa zea will improve the understanding of the genomic evolution of insect resistance, improve the identification of specific regulators of coding genes in general, and is the first step for potentially targeting these regulators for pest control and resistance management.

Mosquito-Textile Physics: A Mathematical Roadmap to Insecticide-Free, Bite-Proof Clothing for Everyday Life
Insects, 12(7), 636.
author keywords: mosquito; bite-proof garment; model; textile; non-insecticidal; physical barrier
TL;DR:
A mathematical model for fabric barriers that resist bites from Aedes aegypti mosquitoes based on textile physical structure and no insecticides is reported, derived from mosquito morphometrics and analysis of mosquito biting behavior.

Tick Ecdysteroid Hormone, Global Microbiota/Rickettsia Signaling in the Ovary versus Carcass during Vitellogenesis in Part-Fed (Virgin) American Dog Ticks, Dermacentor variabilis
MICROORGANISMS, 9(6).
author keywords: Dermacentor variabilis; ecdysteroid; Rickettsia sp; Francisella sp; qPCR; microbiota
TL;DR:
Injections of physiological levels of the tick hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E), into part-fed (virgin) adult females of the American dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis, attached to the host caused a reduction in density of Rickettsia montanensis in the carcass and an increase in the ovaries compared to buffer-injected controls.

Exogenous and endogenous microbiomes of wild-caught Phormia regina (Diptera: Calliphoridae) flies from a suburban farm by 16S rRNA gene sequencing
SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 9.
MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Diptera / microbiology; Farms; High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing; Humans; Metabolome; Metabolomics / methods; Microbiota; Phylogeny; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S
TL;DR:
A snapshot of the microbial communities harbored by adult black blow flies is provided and calls for more comprehensive studies to better characterize the role these flies may play in the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms.

Impact of Environmental Chemicals on the Transcriptome of Primary Human Hepatocytes: Potential for Health Effects
Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, 30(8), 375–395.
author keywords: DEET; Fipronil; Gene expression; Human hepatocytes; RNA-Seq; Endocrine System; P450
MeSH headings : Chromosome Mapping; DEET / toxicity; Drug Combinations; Genome, Human; Hepatocytes / cytology; Hepatocytes / drug effects; Hepatocytes / metabolism; Humans; Insect Repellents / toxicity; Insecticides / toxicity; Molecular Sequence Annotation; Primary Cell Culture; Pyrazoles / toxicity; Sequence Analysis, RNA; Transcriptome / drug effects
TL;DR:
The overall treatment responses, specific pathways, and individual transcripts affected were discussed at different levels of fold‐change and changes found in transcript levels in response to treatments will require further research to understand their importance in overall cellular, organ, and organismic function.
