Download or read book Mosquito Gap written by Ken Mowery and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three sisters have always been loving and close in everything they accomplish. Although they have chosen different fields of endeavor in their professional lives, they still share a common thread of interest. Their strong moral sense has led them to assist the law enforcement communities in several geographic settings to fight crime. Through their own efforts they have become excellent amateur investigators. Each has well-developed skills which all work together to form an excellent team. As the reader progresses through the book, he/she will note that the family has not only developed individual and unique talents and skills, but works seamlessly as a crime fighting unit. Even the old retired archaeology professor serves as an effective extension of the girls' detective efforts. The emergence of a major archaeological discovery is unexpected, but not beyond the capability of the family to handle with ease. The juggling of mining, murder, mayhem, and discovery (mining and scientific) will tax every skill possessed by the girls and result in their having to call in additional help from their multi-talented family. Watching the team investigate and solve one mystery after another will thrill the reading audience and hold the interest of even the most discerning reader. The book is filled with elements of action, suspense, danger, romance, mystery, discovery, and even comedy. It is a must-read for every young reader and is a family-oriented tale worthy of Sherlock Holmes.

Download or read book Mosquito written by Andrew Spielman and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2001-08-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback--a fascinating work of popular science from a world-renowned expert on mosquitoes and a prize-winning reporter. In this lively and comprehensive portrait of the mosquito, its role in history, and its threat to mankind, Spielman and D'Antonio take a mosquito's-eye view of nature and man. They show us how mosquitoes breed, live, mate, and die, and introduce us to their enemies, both natural and man-made. The authors present tragic and often grotesque examples of how the mosquito has insinuated itself into human history, from the malaria that devastated invaders of ancient Rome to the current widespread West Nile fever panic. Filled with little-known facts and remarkable anecdotes that bring this tiny being into larger focus, Mosquito offers fascinating, alarming, and convincing evidence that the sooner we get to know this pesky insect, the better off we'll be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mosquitoes are the most dangerous animals on the planet due to the pathogens they transmit to humans. The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, is the study organism of this dissertation, as well as the primary vector for the viruses that cause yellow, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika fevers in humans. Unfortunately, many of these diseases lack effective vaccinations and/or therapeutics and instead must be prevented through control of the mosquito vector. Our current approach to mosquito control relies primarily on the use of insecticides to suppress mosquito populations. While these chemicals are incredibly effective at killing mosquitoes, they also exert a strong selective pressure driving the evolution of resistance. In order to combat this resistance, current compounds must be modified and new targets need to be identified. In this dissertation I focus on the latter with mosquito gap junctions as my potential targets of interest. Gap junctions are intercellular channels that mediate direct communication between adjacent cells via the transfer of small molecules and/or ions. Gap junctions are formed by protein subunits known as connexins in vertebrates and innexins in invertebrates, which are evolutionarily distinct sharing no significant amino acid homology. Despite their distinct evolutionary origins, both connexin and innexin formed gap junctions play integral roles in processes from embryogenesis to reproduction. Here I expand the knowledge base of mosquito gap junctions through examination of gene expression, protein localization, pharmacological inhibition, and RNAi based gene knockdown. I find that gap junction inhibitors kill and incapacitate larval and adult female mosquitoes, and inhibit diuresis in adult females. Moreover, RNAi to knockdown the mRNA expression of innexin genes decreases survival. Additionally, I show splice variation for 2 innexin mRNAs, describe innexin gene expression throughout the animal, localize the inx3 protein, and characterize changes in innexin gene expression after a blood meal. Finally, I demonstrate the involvement of innexins in crop muscle contractions and the potential cell signaling mechanism that leads to the opening or closure of gap junctions in the crop musculature. Taken together this work sets a strong foundation for future investigations of gap junctions in the mosquito and suggests that gap junctions may provide targets for the development of novel insecticides.

Download or read book Mosquitopia written by Marcus Hall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume brings together natural scientists, social scientists and humanists to assess if (or how) we may begin to coexist harmoniously with the mosquito. The mosquito is humanity’s deadliest animal, killing over a million people each year by transmitting malaria, yellow fever, Zika and several other diseases. Yet of the 3,500 species of mosquito on Earth, only a few dozen of them are really dangerous—so that the question arises as to whether humans and their mosquito foe can learn to live peacefully with one another. Chapters assess polarizing arguments for conserving and preserving mosquitoes, as well as for controlling and killing them, elaborating on possible consequences of both strategies. This book provides informed answers to the dual question: could we eliminate mosquitoes, and should we? Offering insights spanning the technical to the philosophical, this is the “go to” book for exploring humanity’s many relationships with the mosquito—which becomes a journey to finding better ways to inhabit the natural world. Mosquitopia will be of interest to anyone wanting to explore dependencies between human health and natural systems, while offering novel perspectives to health planners, medical experts, environmentalists and animal rights advocates.
