Excited to announce our latest article, with possibly the longest title ever. We demonstrate how warmer temperature accelerates the aging-dependent changes to the reproductive tissues of mosquitoes. @VanderbiltU @vuartsci @EvolutionVU @linzma01 https://t.co/W36NHoXUlZ

🌟 #ESAPBT 🐛🔬 Member Highlight 🌟 | As a PhD Candidate at Vanderbilt University🧬, @linzma01 studies how warmer temperatures affect mosquito physiology and disease transmission 🦟.
Her passion for science began in high school with a project on insect antimicrobial peptides 📚

New paper from the lab published in Journal of Insect Physiology! Activation of the immune deficiency pathway (IMD) reduces the mosquito heart rate via a nitric oxide-based mechanism. @linzma01 @VanderbiltU @vuartsci @EvolutionVU https://t.co/frMji3O0vR

New paper! Research led by Lindsay Martin with @SSMVANDY student Monzerrat shows that senescence of humoral antimicrobial immunity occurs in infected mosquitoes when the temperature is higher. @linzma01 @vuartsci @EvolutionVU @VanderbiltU @J_Exp_Biol https://t.co/ShaGOCXY37

Thank you, Sarah, for your time and insightful writing! @swardluvspumice

[Lindsay Martin, PhD @linzma01]

Special thanks to @EvolutionVU for featuring our recent manuscript and sharing our story! Please check out the article by Sarah Ward to learn more about the impact of our work and see our mosquitoes!

@VictorCardosoJ Thank you, Victor!

[Lindsay Martin, PhD @linzma01]

Very excited to share my manuscript recently published in PLOS Pathogens, where we found that higher temperature accelerates the aging-dependent weakening of the melanization immune response in mosquitoes

This is novel evidence that higher temperature accelerates immune senescence in mosquitoes (or any insect), decoupling chronological and physiological age. We emphasize the need to holistically study how climate impacts all insects and their ability to host/transmit diseases.

Check out our lab’s new paper, led by my amazing colleague, Cole Meier!
We investigated the effects of photosensitive insecticides (PSIs) on mosquitoes across their developmental stages, finding that PSIs target the developing larvae but do not impact adult life history.

[Cole Meier @Cole_Meier_]

Excited to share my recent manuscript in Parasites & Vectors, where we found that sub-lethal exposure to photosensitive insecticides affect juvenile mosquito development and life history traits, however these changes do not persist into adulthood

It was great to share my work at ESA!

[Julian F Hillyer @VandyBugs]

Next up at #EntSoc2023 for the Hillyer Lab was graduate student Lindsay Martin, with an outstanding presentation on how temperature and age interact to shape the melanization immune response of mosquitoes. ⁦@VanderbiltU⁩ ⁦@EntsocAmerica⁩ ⁦@linzma01⁩

[Lindsay Martin, PhD @linzma01]

@Cole_Meier_ Very exciting work, Cole! Especially interesting to see the comparisons between species.

The discovery of a mosquito (Aedes vittatus) on Guantanamo Bay reveals how globalisation is threatening to unleash the next pandemic... https://t.co/nwPpibM5Fe
