Loss of Vitellogenin Receptor Function Results in Yolk Depletion, Virome Expansion and Reduced Bacterial Load Within the Oocytes of <i>Rhodnius prolixus</i>

2025-12-09

Abstract excerpt

The vitellogenin receptor (VgR) mediates yolk protein uptake during oogenesis and is essential for embryogenesis in oviparous species. Here we characterize the single Rhodnius prolixus VgR isoform and uncover an unexpected role in microbial regulation within the reproductive system. The receptor displays a conserved LDLR-like structure and is highly expressed in early oocytes. RNAi-mediated VgR silencing caused d...
