	2.	Short report *Expression of trypsin modulating oostatic factor (TMOF) in an entomopathogenic fungus increases its virulence towards Anopheles gambiae* and reduces fecundity in the target mosquito** Layla Kamareddine, Yanhua Fan, Mike A Osta, Nemat O Keyhani Parasites & Vectors 2013, 6:22 (21 January 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary We demonstrate increased virulence (lowered LD50 and LT50 values as compared to the wild-type parent strain) towards Anopheles gambiae using the entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana, transformed to express trypsin modulating oostatic factor (TMOF) derived from A. aegypti.
