A recent review published in PLOS Pathogens discussed the current research on the role of molecular mechanisms in mediating immune priming in insects and regulating vector-borne disease transmission.

Much of the Earth has been modified by humans, which has a flow-on effect on natural ecosystems, including the insects that carry disease. For the first time, researchers have examined when and how ...

NEW HAVEN – A group of Yale researchers is working on a new kind of vaccine they believe could change the world: instead of acting against a pathogen, the vaccine would reduce the risk of transmission ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 2, SDG 3, and SDG 15. The field of entomology is grappling with unprecedented challenges as migratory and invasive insect pests and ...

A study conducted by researchers from São Paulo State University (UNESP), in Brazil, and collaborators shows that lemon leafcutter ants (Atta sexdens) exhibit behaviors that go beyond so-called social ...

Insects and pathogens frequently exploit the same host plant and can potentially impact each other’s performance. However, studies on plant– pathogen–insect interactions have mainly focused on a fixed ...
