Larval application of sodium channel homologous dsRNA restores pyrethroid insecticide susceptibility in a resistant adult mosquito population

ABSTRACT: Mosquitoes host and pass on to humans a variety of disease-causing pathogens such as infectious viruses and other parasitic microorganisms. The emergence and spread of insecticide resistance is threatening the effectiveness of current control measures for common mosquito vector borne diseases, such as malaria, dengue and Zika. Therefore, the emerging resistance to the widely used pyrethroid insecticides is an alarming problem for public health. Among the new approaches implemented for pest control, one of the most promising is RNA interference (RNAi). The aim of this study was to provide a feasible RNAi solution that can be applied on wild pyrethroid resistant mosquito populations in the near future. To achieve this, high dsRNA efficacy at economic quantities is required. It is recognized that the sodium channel transcript variability governs its functional diversity including the emergence of insecticide resistance. Therefore, to maximize the RNAi effect, we tiled a number of overlapping dsRNA constructs that together target about half of the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) transcript variants annotated in this work. This strategy provided a refined dsRNA trigger that increased mortality with a three-fold decrease in dsRNA amounts compared to the primary VGSC dsRNA construct. Thus, we demonstrated the use of RNA interference (RNAi) to increase susceptibility of adult mosquitoes to a widely used pyrethroid insecticide. Small RNA sequences from 5 mosquitoes treated with Random or VGSC dsRNAs were generated using Illumina HiSeq 2500.

Aedes aegypti mosquito eggshell proteins in response to RNAi-EOF1

Project description:Aedes aegypti mosquito ovarian follicles develop synchronously after taking a blood meal. A single layer of follicular epithelial cells surrounding the oocyte is responsible for secreting a majority of eggshell structural components between 18 and 54 hours post blood meal. We previously identified a protein called eggshell organizing factor 1 (EOF1). When we knocked down EOF1 with RNA interference in female adult mosquitoes, they laid eggs that were not properly melanized, and fragile eggs did not contain viable embryos. Here, we aimed to determine putative downstream eggshell proteins in RNAi-EOF1 female mosquitoes. Our eggshell proteomics identified 220 proteins, suggesting that mosquito extracellular eggshells are composed of a complex mixture of proteins. These proteins are involved in the formation of an intact eggshell that protects the embryonic development and larva from the environment for long periods of time.

Bulk RNAseq of Anopheles gambiae hemocytes upon Toll pathway overactivation

Project description:Toll pathway is a key mediator of antiplasmodial immunity and its mechanism of action is dependent on hemocytes (mosquito white blood cells). Anopheles gambiae were injected with dsRNA for Cactus, an inhibitor of the Toll pathway. Cactus silencing over activates the Toll pathway. The goal of this experiment is to evaluate hemocyte transcriptional changes between control mosquitoes injected with a non-related dsRNA (dsLacZ and dsCactus injected mosquitoes. We also divide hemocytes from control and experimental conditions into 2 groups: bound (hemocytes that attach to glass - granulocyte populations) and unbound (hemocytes that remain in suspension - prohemocytes and oenocytoids). Files from Unbound fractions are labelled: UB and from bound fractions are labelled B. Some of the samples were run twice and have 2 gz files.

Anopheles funestus amidst a South/North shift in the role of key resistance genes across Malawi

Project description:Resistance to pyrethroids, the only insecticide approved for bednets, threatens control of the major malaria vector, Anopheles funestus, in Malawi. To improve the management of such resistance countrywide, it is crucial to understand the dynamics and mechanisms driving resistance in the field. In this study the levels of insecticide resistance were determined across the highly endemic densely populated lake and southern agricultural area. Insecticide resistance to pyrethoids was assessed using standardized WHO bioassay methods and resistant mosquitoes were hybridized to susceptible mosquitoes. This microarray analysis revealed the key role of cytochrome P450 genes such as CYP6P9a, CYP6P9b and CYP6M7. However, a significant shift in the over-expression of these CYP450s was detected across a south/north transect, with CYP6M7 more highly over-transcribed in the two northern collection sites and the tandemly duplicated genes, CYP6P9a and CYP6P9b, more greatly over-transcribed in the south.

Whole genome microarray of bendiocarb-resistant An. gambiae mosquitoes from Uganda

Project description:Identification of genes associated with bendiocarb resistance. Mosquitoes collected as larvae from Nagongera and Kihihi, Uganda. Bendiocarb-resistant and unexposed female mosquitoes selected using standard WHO tube bioassays. RNA was extracted from pools of five individuals identified as An. gambiae s.s. Insecticide-susceptible mosquitoes from the Kisumu strain were included as controls. RNA hybridized in an interwoven loop design to compare four biological replicates each of resistant, unexposed, and laboratory mosquitoes.

Cooler temperatures destabilize RNA interference and increase susceptibility of disease vector mosquitoes to viral infection

Project description:The impact of global climate change on the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases is the subject of extensive debate. The transmission of mosquito-borne viral diseases is particularly complex, with climatic variables directly affecting many parameters associated with the prevalence of disease vectors. While evidence shows that warmer temperatures often decrease the extrinsic incubation period of an arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus), exposure to cooler temperatures often predisposes disease vector mosquitoes to higher infection rates. RNA interference pathways are essential to antiviral immunity in the mosquito; however, few experiments have explored the effects of temperature on the RNAi machinery. Total small RNAs (miRNAs, siRNAs, piRNAs, etc.) were isolated and sequenced from the heads of sensor strain Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, or from the whole bodies of CHIKV-infected Aedes albopictus mosquitoes 8 hours post infection. Mosquitoes were grown at 18C or 28C in replicates of 1 (Ae. aegypti) or 3 (Ae. albopictus).

Deltamethrin resistance mechanisms in Aedes aegypti populations from three French overseas territories worldwide.

Project description:Custom microarrays were used to examine differential gene expression between pyrethroid resistant vs pyrethroid susceptible phenotypes of the dengue vector mosquito Aedes aegypti. Pyrethroid resistant population were from Cayenne (French Guiana, GUY), Baie Mahault (Guadeloupe, GUA) and Noumea (New Caledonia, CAL) whilst New Orleans lab colony represented the lab susceptible strain Pools of total RNA was extracted from the whole bodies of 3 day old female mosquitoes that had survived exposure to 0.06% deltamethrin (for GUY, GUA, CAL) . Single colour hybridization experiments were performed using labelled cDNA on the Agilent 'Aedes aegypti detox chip plus': A-MTAB-574. Four unique biological replicates per population were used in the study
