Disrupting Mosquito Eggshell Formation by Targeting A Highly Diverged Biological Pathway
This technology is a new method to control mosquito populations by disrupting mosquito-specific proteins important for embryonic development. Based on a bioinformatics study, a mosquito-specific regulatory protein, Eggshell Organizing Factor 1 (EOF1), was discovered, which is highly diverged from other species. EOF1 controls the synthesis of eggshell...

Mosquito Birth Control
This technology is a new method to control mosquito populations by disrupting mosquito-specific proteins important for embryonic development. Based on a bioinformatics study, a mosquito-specific Eggshell Organizing Factor 1 (EOF1) was discovered, which is not highly conserved in other species. Experiments on mosquitos demonstrated that disrupting the...
