Dear Editor,rnAnopheles sinensis is the primary vector of vivax malaria in China.Given the risks posed by An.sinen-sis,many methods have been used to control this vec-tor,most commonly chemical prevention.However,the extensive use of insecticides has subjected mosquitoes to intense selection pressure,resulting in the devel-opment of resistance,variations in mosquito behavior,and a shift in malarial vector species(Zhang et al.,2017;He etal.,2019).Therefore,new mosquito-centered strategies for controlling or eliminating malaria trans-mission are urgently required.

In most eusocial insects,the division of labor results in relatively few individu-als foraging for the entire colony.Thus,the survival of the colony depends on its efficiency in meeting the nutritional needs of all its members.Here,we characterize the net

Lepidopteran insects produce cocoons with unique properties.The cocoons are made of silk produced in the larval tissue silk gland and our understanding of the silk genes is still very limited.Here,we investigated silk genes in the bagworm moth Eumeta vari
The evolutionary success of phytophagous insects depends on their ability to efficiently exploit plants as a source of energy for survival.Herbivorous insects largely depend on the efficiency,flexibility,and diversity of their digestive physiology and so-

Diapause is an adaptation that insects have evolved to synchronize their life cycle with that of seasonal climatic changes and resources availability.However,cues for its induction are not always clear and,in some cases,a maternal effect may be involved.A
