Abstract:Heatwaves are an increasingly common environmental event linked with climate change. Abnormally high heatwave temperatures can affect several mosquito vector traits that are determinants of pathogen transmission. Understanding how these mosquitoes adapt to high heat is vital for global public health. RNA methylation, a key cellular mechanism in stress response and adaptation, remains understudied in mosquito vector competence and heat stress responses. This study investigates the role of RNA methylation in mos… Show more
