Wolbachia screening in Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens mosquitoes from Madeira ...
Fernandes, Rita; Melo, Tiago; Zé-Zé, Líbia; Freitas, Inês C.; Silva, Manuel; Dias, Eva; Santos, Nuno C.; Gouveia, Bruna; Seixas, Gonçalo; Osório, HugoMosquito-borne diseases such as dengue and West Nile virus pose serious public health risks. On Madeira Island, the presence of the mosquito species Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) and Culex pipiens (Linnaeus, 1758) raises concerns about local transmission. In this study, we tested 100 Ae. aegypti and 40 Cx. pipiens mosquitoes collected exclusively in the municipality of Funchal, Madeira Island, to assess the pr...

Fernandes, Rita; Melo, Tiago; Marques Zé-Zé, Líbia Maria; Campos Freitas, Inês; Silva, Manuel; Dias, Eva; Santos, Nuno C.; Gouveia, Bruna R.Simple Summary: Mosquitoes can spread serious diseases like dengue and West Nile virus. On Madeira Island, two mosquito species—Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens—are present and may pose a risk to public health. Scientists are exploring new ways to control these mosquitoes using a natural bacterium called Wolbachia, which can reduce a mosquito’s ability to transmit viruses and even lower mosquito populations. How...
SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1 connects sumoylation and reactive oxygen species homeostasi...
Castro, Pedro Humberto; Couto, Daniel; Santos, Miguel Angelo; Freitas, Sara; Lourenco, Tiago; Dias, Eva; Huguet, Stephanie; da Silva, Jorge MarquesThe ubiquitin-like modifying peptide SMALL UBIQUITIN-LIKE MODIFIER (SUMO) has become a known modulator of the plant response to multiple environmental stimuli. A common feature of many of these external stresses is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Taking into account that SUMO conjugates rapidly accumulate in response to an external oxidative stimulus, it is likely that ROS and sumoylation conve...
