The paper identifies pupal metamorphosis as a critical stage for RNA virus persistence in Drosophila, revealing distinct viral strategies involving reverse transcription and immune responses.

The paper examines how host and ecological factors shape mosquito virome diversity and composition across different regions and time periods.

The study investigates the role of the siRNA pathway in regulating transposable element expression in Aedes aegypti, finding limited impact in both somatic and gonadal tissues.

This study shows that viral infection disrupts intestinal homeostasis in Drosophila by activating Sting-dependent NF-kB signaling, leading to ISC proliferation and reduced lifespan.

The paper develops rRNA sequences for 33 medically important mosquito species to improve metagenomics and species identification in mosquito-borne virus surveillance.
