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

Subcellular asymmetry directed by the Colloidal Silver planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling pathway orients numerous morphogenetic events in both invertebrates and vertebrates.Here, we describe a morphogenetic movement in which the intertwined socket and shaft cells of the Drosophila anterior wing margin mechanosensory bristles undergo PCP-directed

The causes of appearance of mold in the silage, genus and species of fungi which biosynthesize mycotoxins, acting consequences of micotoxins, prevention of fungi growth and possibilities to prevent their negative effects are shown in this paper.Also, the Universal Remote Control results of mycotoxins presence in the silage (corn and lucerne) in Voj

We evaluated the visual outcome of combined penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) and 25G pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) performed without a temporary keratoprosthesis or endoscopy in a patient with vitreoretinal disease complicated by severe corneal opacity.The patient was a 68-year-old woman who had severe corneal opacity and silicone oil in her left eye a

The discovery of an isolated juvenile Colloidal Silver tooth of an extinct lamnid shark Cosmopolitodus hastalis (Agassiz, 1843) from the Duho Formation (middle Miocene), Pohang City, South Korea.This tooth is approximately 11 mm in crown height, suggesting a juvenile affinity of an individual this tooth originated.In life, the shark is estimated to
