Abstract: The axes of insect embryos are defined early in the blastoderm stage. Genes involved in this polarization are well known in Drosophila, but less so in other insects, such as the milkweed bug Oncopeltus fasciatus.… read more here.

Abstract: Trypanosomatids are protozoan parasites that infect thousands of globally dispersed hosts, potentially affecting their physiology. Several species of trypanosomatids are commonly found in phytophagous insects. Leptomonas wallacei is a gut-restricted insect trypanosomatid only retrieved from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1744-7917.13117
Abstract: The ubiquitously expressed transmembrane enzyme Na,K‐ATPase (NKA) is vital in maintaining functionality of cells. The association of α‐ and β‐subunits is believed to be essential for forming a functional enzyme. In the large milkweed bug… read more here.
