SUMMARY:Biological Sciences Colloquium: Dr. Ethan Degner
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ethan Degner of Wisconsin Lutheran College will present a talk about his work entitled\, “Chronicling a mosquito’s sex life from intromission to oviposition.” \nThe abstract is as follows: \n“Each year\, mosquito-borne infections kill hundreds of thousands and sicken hundreds of millions more. Controlling populations of mosquitoes is a public health imperative\, but despite decades of effort and technological advances\, mosquitoes remain humanity’s number one killer.  \nManipulating mosquito reproduction offers a promising avenue by which mosquito populations may be controlled\, but doing so requires an intimate understanding of mosquito reproduction\, from mating to egg-laying and a host of events in between. In this seminar\, I use the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti to chronicle a mosquito’s reproductive life\, highlighting the modifications that a mosquito’s sperm undergo prior to fertilization. I also present efforts to catalog the proteins and transcripts involved in these events. Proper sperm function within a female is a requirement for producing the next generation of pathogen-transmitting mosquitoes\, and therefore understanding the molecular and cellular underpinnings that govern mosquito reproduction may allow new methods for mosquito control.” \nThe presentation will begin at 4:00 PM in Lapham Hall N101\, preceded by an informal reception from 3:45 – 4:00 PM.
