- This federal Project Grant award for $329,039, provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports research to determine the genetic relatedness, effective population size, and local adaptation of invasive Aedes aegypti mosquito populations. The award aims to advance understanding of how evolutionary forces shape the dispersal and population dynamics of this mosquito species, which can transmit...
- This Project Grant award of $611,861 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to investigate chromosomal rearrangements in the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The goal is to characterize the geographic distribution of chromosomal inversions in this mosquito species and determine their association with ecological variables and subspecies differentiation. The research will leverage...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855), is funding research to develop new tools and technologies for vector control of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, an important disease vector. The key focus is on evaluating conditional and sex-specific lethal systems that can restrict lethal transgene expression and reduce the fitness load on mosquito populations, as...
- 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 Project Grant award of $2,536,503 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports research to understand how the ability of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to tolerate desiccation affects their potential as disease vectors. The research aims to identify genetic mechanisms linking desiccation tolerance to susceptibility to Zika, Chikungunya, and Dengue viruses in the mosquito midgut. Key...
- The University of Washington received a $458,849 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) to conduct research aimed at uncovering the sensory mechanisms mosquitoes use to detect blood. The project seeks to leverage emerging single-cell RNA sequencing and high-throughput genetic analysis approaches to deeply characterize the diversity of sensory neurons in the mosquito labrum (feeding structure) and...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $423,125 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Texas A&M University System Health Science Center. The grant, awarded on July 17, 2025, aims to develop an intein-based QF2 system for controllable protein expression in the nervous system of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. This research seeks to leverage genetic and synthetic biology tools to disrupt the propagation of...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $808,919 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Trustees of Boston University. The 5-year grant, which began on September 18, 2025, aims to develop novel aglain derivatives as host-targeted antivirals against dengue virus (DENV) and other mosquito-borne arboviruses. The research program seeks to optimize the aglain chemical series and study their modulation of the host...
- This Project Grant award of $699,339.00 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports research to study the transmission dynamics of dengue and Zika viruses across diverse communities in northwestern coastal Ecuador. The study aims to characterize how changes in environment, social networks, and vector populations influence regional virus transmission patterns. Key activities include...
- This $401,185 Project Grant was awarded on July 18, 2025 by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855). The funding will support research at the University of Nevada, Reno to study the mechanism of action of the broadly-active antiviral mosquito protein ABRAVO. The project aims to generate new tools, determine key protein residues, and analyze RNA and protein interactions to better...
