Parasite Killing in Malaria Non-Vector Mosquito Anopheles culicifacies Species B: Implication of Nitric Oxide Synthase Upregulation
BACKGROUND Anopheles culicifacies, the main vector of human malaria in rural India, is a complex of five sibling species. Despite being phylogenetically related, a naturally selected subgroup species B of this sibling species complex is found to be a poor vector of malaria. We have attempted to understand the differences between vector and non-vector Anopheles culicifacies mosquitoes in terms o...
متن کاملTransmission Blocking Immunity in the Malaria Non-Vector Mosquito Anopheles quadriannulatus Species A
Despite being phylogenetically very close to Anopheles gambiae, the major mosquito vector of human malaria in Africa, Anopheles quadriannulatus is thought to be a non-vector. Understanding the difference between vector and non-vector mosquitoes can facilitate development of novel malaria control strategies. We demonstrate that An. quadriannulatus is largely resistant to infections by the human ...
متن کاملMonitoring Pyrethroid Insecticide Resistance in Major Malaria Vector Anopheles culicifacies: Comparison of Molecular Tools and Conventional Susceptibility Test
<Anopheles culicifacies is a main malaria vector in southeastern part of Iran, bordring Afghanistan and Pakistan. So far, resistance to DDT, dieldrin, malathion and partial tolerance to pyrethroids has been reported in An. stephensi, but nothing confirmed on resistance status of An. culicifacies in Iran. Methods: In current study, along with WHO routine susceptibility test with DDT (4%), di...
متن کاملNitric oxide metabolites induced in Anopheles stephensi control malaria parasite infection.
Malaria parasite infection in anopheline mosquitoes is limited by inflammatory levels of nitric oxide metabolites. To assess the mechanisms of parasite stasis or toxicity, we investigated the biochemistry of these metabolites within the blood-filled mosquito midgut. Our data indicate that nitrates, but not nitrites, are elevated in the Plasmodium-infected midgut. Although levels of S-nitrosothi...
متن کاملAntibodies raised against hemolymph of Anopheles culicifacies reduce the fecundity and malaria parasite development.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Several studies have been made to study the effect of antisera raised against different tissues (hemolymh, ovary, midgut and salivary glands) on the fecundity and malaria parasite development in the different species of mosquitoes but there are no reports on the antisera raised against the hemolymph of Anopheles culicifacies, the principal malaria vector in India account...
