A CONSERVED FEMALE-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT FOR THE GGT GENE IN MOSQUITO LARVAE FACILITATES RNAI-MEDIATED SEX SEPARATION IN MULTIPLE SPECIES OF DISEASE VECTOR MOSQUITOES

A Conserved Female-Specific Requirement for the GGT Gene in Mosquito Larvae Facilitates RNAi-Mediated Sex Separation in Multiple Species of Disease Vector Mosquitoes

Although several emerging mosquito control technologies are dependent on mass releases of adult males, methods of sex-sorting that can be implemented globally have not yet been established.RNAi screens led to the discovery of siRNA, which targets gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), a gene which is well conserved in multiple species of mosquitoes a

The contribution of spatial analysis to understanding HIV/TB mortality in children: a structural equation modelling approach

Background: South Africa accounts for more than a sixth of the global population of people infected with HIV and TB, ranking her highest in HIV/TB co-infection worldwide.Remote areas often bear the greatest burden of morbidity and mortality, yet there are spatial differences within rural settings.Objectives: The primary aim was to investigate HIV/T
