The invasive form of Ae. #aegypti mosquito evolved within the Americas, after arriving from Africa ~320 ya. Our most recent paper is out @science.org. Years of work with collaborators all around led by J. Crawford! Great resource for the Vector Research community!.

Using an in vivo CRISPR/Cas9-mediated approach, we provide the first dynamic insight of a Vago-like gene’s function during #flavivirus infection of #Aedes #aegypti 🦠. Our findings suggest that VLG-1 supports #DENV and #ZIKV virus by promoting its dissemination throughout the mosquito’s body. 🤯

Learning a lot at the “New insights on dengue and other arboviruses” workshop #INSP Cuernavaca, MEX. Tomorrow, I will talk to them about #aegypti evolutionary history.

The last study from my dissertation is #published! Check out ‘Differences in excito‐repellent behavior between susceptible and permethrin‐resistant strains of Ae. #aegypti upon exposure to insecticide‐treated fabric’. Thanks to @UF_EPI and @USDA_ARS -CMAVE for the support!
