A possible mechanism for the suppression of Plasmodium berghei development in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae by the microsporidian Vavraia culicisIrka Bargielowski
Division of Biology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom
PLoS ONE 4:e4676. 2009..Microsporidian parasites of mosquitoes offer a possible way of controlling malaria, as they impede the development of Plasmodium parasites within the mosquito. The mechanism involved in this interference process is unknown...
Comparison of life history characteristics of the genetically modified OX513A line and a wild type strain of Aedes aegyptiIrka Bargielowski
Division of Biology, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom
PLoS ONE 6:e20699. 2011..Furthermore, this paper highlights the potential value of optimisation of mass-rearing systems as optimised rearing methods may be able to alleviate performance issues associated with specific lines or with lab-adapted lines in general...
Cost of mating and insemination capacity of a genetically modified mosquito Aedes aegypti OX513A compared to its wild type counterpartIrka Bargielowski
Faculty of Natural Sciences, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom
PLoS ONE 6:e26086. 2011....
Microsporidians as evolution-proof agents of malaria control?Jacob C Koella
Division of Biology, Imperial College London, United Kingdom
Adv Parasitol 68:315-27. 2009..Therefore, evolution might not undermine control; rather it might increase its effectiveness. While the evolution of resistance may be inevitable, the failure of control need not be...
Flight performance and teneral energy reserves of two genetically-modified and one wild-type strain of the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegyptiIrka Bargielowski
Division of Biology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis 12:1053-8. 2012..The addition of tetracycline to the larval diet did not influence the flight potential of the males; however, it did change the teneral sugar reserves of the WT and the lipid reserves of both the WT and the OX3604C lines...
