Insects defend against fungal infection by employing microRNAs to silence virulence-related genes.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 11 May 2021

Abstract excerpt

Chemical insecticides remain the main strategy to combat mosquito-borne diseases, but the growing threat of insecticide resistance prompts the urgent need to develop alternative, ecofriendly, and sustainable vector control tools. Entomopathogenic fungi can overcome insecticide resistance and represent promising biocontrol tools for the control of mosquitoes. However, insects have evolved robust defense mechanisms...
