Mosquitoes cause around a million deaths per year. So, scientists are coming up with genetic engineering techniques that could lower their numbers.

Female mosquitoes don’t want to lay their eggs alone, but they don’t want sites that are too crowded either. Understanding what guides their choice could inform new control strategies.

New research potentially offers a new treatment alternative for brain cancer patients who currently have a poor prognosis.

Zika virus infection in pregnant rhesus macaques slows fetal growth and affects how infants and mothers interact in the first month of life.

Certain viruses like dengue and Zika can make their hosts smell tastier to mosquitoes. Luckily, vitamin A and its derivatives may help combat these odor changes.

Researchers have used the gene editing tool CRISPR/Cas9 to make male mosquitoes infertile. When females mate with them, they're rendered infertile, too.

Officials in Brazil recently asked women to avoid pregnancy, citing heightened risk to them and newborns. But births were already dropping; a new study attributes it to the trauma of Zika.

A study with mice shows that the Zika virus can rev up the immune system to destroy glioblastoma, a deadly form of brain cancer.
