Abel-Nwachukwu J, Matthews B
Curr Biol . 2025 Feb; 35(3):R96-R98. PMID: 39904316
Widespread insecticide resistance has sparked the search for new strategies to combat vector-borne disease. Recent work uncovers the mechanism behind nootkatone, a grapefruit-derived compound, which works as a dual-action repellent...

Morita T, Lyn N, von Heynitz R, Goldman O, Sorrells T, DeGennaro M, et al.
Sci Adv . 2025 Jan; 11(1):eadn5758. PMID: 39742477
Sensory compensation occurs when loss of one sense leads to enhanced perception by another sense. We have identified a previously undescribed mechanism of sensory compensation in female mosquitoes. Odorant receptor...

de Pennart A, Wu P, Matthews B
Trends Parasitol . 2024 Oct; 40(11):954-955. PMID: 39424471
The yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti uses multiple sensory systems to identify a blood-meal victim. Recent work by Chandel et al. identifies infrared radiation as a medium-distance cue acting through...

Doherty J, Matthews B
Front Insect Sci . 2024 Mar; 2:938644. PMID: 38468779
Insects and parasites dominate the biosphere, in terms of known biodiversity and mode of life, respectively. Consequently, insects play a part in many host-parasite systems, either as parasite, host, or...

Mohammed Y, Tochor N, Matthews B
Cold Spring Harb Protoc . 2023 Dec; 2024(7):pdb.top107670. PMID: 38087466
The female mosquito is endowed with the responsibility of gene transfer from one generation to another through careful delivery of her eggs to an appropriate environment. To guarantee a successful...

Tochor N, Mohammed Y, Matthews B
Cold Spring Harb Protoc . 2023 Dec; 2024(7):pdb.prot108341. PMID: 38087464
Egg-laying behavior in insects has a dramatic impact on their fitness, controlling their extent and distribution across ecosystems. Thus, understanding the cues that guide mosquito egg laying is an important...

Tochor N, Mohammed Y, Matthews B
Cold Spring Harb Protoc . 2023 Dec; 2024(7):pdb.prot108342. PMID: 38087463
Egg-laying preferences of mosquitoes can reveal key neurosensory mechanisms informing the decision-making process for this critical behavior. A single blood meal results in a gravid female mosquito laying more than...

Lo I, Matthews B
Cold Spring Harb Protoc . 2023 Oct; 2024(9):pdb.prot108340. PMID: 37816604
Creating transgenic mosquitoes allows for mechanistic studies of basic mosquito biology and the development of novel vector control strategies. CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing has revolutionized gene editing, including in mosquitoes. This...

Cold Spring Harb Protoc . 2023 Oct; 2024(9):pdb.top107688. PMID: 37816601
CRISPR-Cas9 has revolutionized gene editing for traditional and nontraditional model organisms alike. This tool has opened the door to new mechanistic studies of basic mosquito biology as well as the...
