Human-Safe Mosquitocidal Compound
BackgroundMosquitoes are considered one of the deadliest animals on Earth because of the devastating pathogens they carry. Due to high cost of development, vaccines and drug therapies are not available for the majority of mosquito-borne pathogens. Therefore, efforts to reduce disease transmission have traditionally focused on suppressing the mosquito...

Hydrocarbon Decarboxylase Enzyme
BackgroundHydrocarbons are compounds found everywhere in nature. The surface waxes of plants and insects contain very-long chain, non-isoprenoid hydrocarbons. Long-chain hydrocarbons of insects play central roles in waterproofing the insect cuticle and function extensively in chemical communication where relatively non-volatile chemicals are required....
