Introduction
Recent studies have challenged the idea of sterile blood, suggesting the presence of a blood microbiome. The detection of microbial nucleic acids in blood is thought to reflect the status of distant microbial niches, including the gut....

Journal Article
Ottih, E. C., Roberts, J. M., Bruce, T. J. A., & Tripet, F. (2025). Extended time to maturity in Anopheles coluzzii: Implications of late egg hatch for vector control and transgene fitness. Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1111/mve.12814

Maintaining fitness is an important consideration when mosquitoes are mass‐reared for the deployment of genetic interventions that are designed to suppress populations because released mosquitoes need to compete with wild‐type mosquitoes. Late‐hatchi... Read More about Extended time to maturity in Anopheles coluzzii: Implications of late egg hatch for vector control and transgene fitness.
