This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $441,502 to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) to advance CRISPR-based genome editing strategies for managing Aedes aegypti mosquito populations. The key objectives are to: 1) design a CAS12 temperature-dependent system that requires only one strain to produce sterile male...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) provides $329,039.00 to the University of Florida to conduct research on the dispersal biology and population genetics of the invasive Aedes aegypti mosquito. The key objectives are to: (1) determine the genetic relatedness and effective population size of Ae. aegypti populations from diverse environments, and (2) identify genes under...
This $505,238 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) will support research to identify skin-associated compounds that can disrupt mosquito landing and biting behavior. The overarching goal is to discover new chemical compounds that can act as improved topical insect repellents compared to DEET, especially for use in tropical regions. The research will involve validating...
The federal Project Grant award R21AI188026 in the amount of $423,125.00 was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855). The grant supports the development of an intein-based QF2 system for controllable protein expression in the nervous system of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. This research aims to disrupt the propagation of mosquito-transmitted viruses such as dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and...
This Project Grant award of $211,038 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports research at The Johns Hopkins University to investigate a new strategy for controlling mosquito populations. The key focus is on targeting the enzyme iodotyrosine deiodinase, which plays a critical role in protecting insects like fruit flies from the accumulation of harmful halotyrosines that can suppress...
The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. Through this three-year award beginning June 1, 2023, UCSD will investigate olfactory learning and neuromodulation in the Aedes aegypti mosquito vector. The research aims to elucidate the role of dopamine-mediated plasticity in early olfactory circuits and how...
This federal Project Grant award of $429,000.00, provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to examine chromatin architecture and gene regulatory networks in Anopheles coluzzii mosquito hemocyte cells. The key objectives are to 1) map chromatin architecture during immune activation in mosquito hemocyte cells, and 2) identify gene regulatory networks for the immune...
This Project Grant award of $699,814 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research, aims to study molecular mechanisms of Plasmodium parasite invasion in Anopheles mosquito midguts to identify novel targets for transmission-blocking malaria vaccines. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Functional characterization of identified mosquito and parasite proteins that mediate...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) provides $707,696 to The Johns Hopkins University from November 2024 through October 2029. The funding supports research to identify volatile organic compounds in human scent signatures that modulate attractiveness to the African malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae, a key disease vector. The research aims to characterize...
This Project Grant award of $506,842.00, provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA Program 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders", aims to identify powerful mosquito repellents that target their olfactory and gustatory systems. The research will validate computationally-predicted repellents and pyrethroid analogs, and test combinations for effectiveness in reducing contact between humans and...
