Published in 2019 at "Journal of insect physiology"

DOI: 10.1016/j.jinsphys.2019.103894

Abstract: The peritrophic matrix (PM) is an acellular chitin and glycoprotein layer that lines the invertebrate midgut. The PM has long been considered a physical as well as a biochemical barrier, protecting the midgut epithelium from… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Insect Science"

DOI: 10.1111/1744-7917.13016

Abstract: Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are important enzymes that boost the hydrolysis of recalcitrant polysaccharides, such as chitin. They are found extensively in different insect species and are classified as auxiliary activities family 15 (AA15) LPMOs… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Cellular Microbiology"

DOI: 10.1111/cmi.13275

Abstract: The peritrophic matrix (PM) is an acellular membrane that covers the gut epithelium in arthropods and physically separates it from the lumen. The structure is thought to play an important role in tick biology. The… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "PLoS ONE"

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0194734

Abstract: The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the principal vector of arboviruses such as dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever, and Zika virus. These arboviruses are transmitted during adult female mosquito bloodfeeding. While these viruses must transverse the midgut… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "PLoS Pathogens"

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1006391

Abstract: Manipulation of the mosquito gut microbiota can lay the foundations for novel methods for disease transmission control. Mosquito blood feeding triggers a significant, transient increase of the gut microbiota, but little is known about the… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "PLoS Pathogens"

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1006972

Abstract: Arthropod vectors have multiple physical and immunological barriers that impede the development and transmission of parasites to new vertebrate hosts. These barriers include the peritrophic matrix (PM), a chitinous barrier that separates the blood bolus… read more here.
