This 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 $211,038 to The Johns Hopkins University to research a new strategy for controlling mosquito populations. The project aims to investigate the role of the enzyme iodotyrosine deiodinase in mosquitoes, specifically examining how inhibiting this enzyme or accumulating certain halotyrosines can impact mosquito fertility...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) program, provides $512,581 to Iowa State University of Science and Technology to examine the influence of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) on the innate immune function of mosquitoes. The research aims to: 1) investigate the cellular and transcriptional events following PGE2 activation in mosquitoes using single-cell and phenomics-based...
This 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 a total of $699,814 to Florida International University to study the molecular mechanisms of Plasmodium parasite-Anopheles mosquito midgut interactions and evaluate candidate proteins as novel targets for malaria transmission-blocking vaccines. The key objectives are to functionally characterize mosquito and parasite...
This 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 $648,924 to Iowa State University of Science and Technology to conduct research on the role of mosquito extracellular vesicles in malaria parasite killing and immune priming. The 5-year project, running from February 2025 to January 2030, aims to obtain a mechanistic understanding of how extracellular vesicles...
This Project Grant award of $651,084, made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to determine how microbes influence the response of their mosquito host to climate change, with a focus on the impacts on Hawaiian honeycreepers, an endangered bird species. The research aims to: Clarify the landscape-scale population dynamics of the mosquito vector Culex quinquefasciatus and its microbiome across an elevational gradient in Hawaii....
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), provides $329,039 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...
This Project Grant award, valued at $441,502.00 and issued by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to develop innovative CRISPR-based genome editing strategies for managing Aedes aegypti mosquito populations. The key goals are to: 1) Design a CAS12 temperature-dependent system that can produce sterile male mosquitoes with a single strain, reducing the logistical challenges...
This Project Grant award for $174,544, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program, supports the development of a novel, integrated geospatial framework that applies advanced machine learning techniques to map disease-transmission risk for mosquito-borne infectious diseases in Southern Africa. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: High-resolution satellite imagery processed...
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...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA 10.310 program provides $194,318.00 to the University of California, Santa Barbara to investigate how agricultural intensification affects mosquito abundance, viral infection rates, and farmworker exposure to mosquito-borne diseases. The research aims to improve the well-being and health of farmworkers, a...
