Salivary homogenates of the adult female mosquito Anopheles albimanus
array of antihemostatic chemicals (Ribeiro, 1987, 1995), including anticlotting, antiplatelet and vasodilatory substances. Interestingly, the solutions found by each arthropod species to counteract each aspect of their host hemostasis are very different, perhaps as a result of evolutionary convergence. For example, vasodilators found in the saliva or salivary homogenates of such animals include...
متن کاملFemale-biased gene expression in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae
Females of the malaria-carrying mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, must deal with a number of tasks never confronted by males, including blood-feeding and defense against Plasmodium infection. Here, we examine global gene expression differences between the sexes in A. gambiae via Affymetrix GeneChip® microarrays and find a dramatic over-representation of genes expressed more highly in females. Approx...
متن کاملThe transcriptome of adult female Anopheles darlingi salivary glands.
Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) darlingi is an important malaria vector in South and Central America; however, little is known about molecular aspects of its biology. Genomic and proteomic analyses were performed on the salivary gland products of Anopheles darlingi. A total of 593 randomly selected, salivary gland-derived cDNAs were sequenced and assembled based on their similarities into 288 cluster...
متن کاملLife cycle transcriptome of the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae and comparison with the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster.
The African mosquito Anopheles gambiae is the major vector of human malaria. We report a genome-wide survey of mosquito gene expression profiles clustered temporally into developmental programs and spatially into adult tissue-specific patterns. Global expression analysis shows that genes that belong to related functional categories or that encode the same or functionally linked protein domains ...
متن کاملOdor Coding in the Maxillary Palp of the Malaria Vector Mosquito Anopheles gambiae
BACKGROUND Many species of mosquitoes, including the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae, utilize carbon dioxide (CO(2)) and 1-octen-3-ol as olfactory cues in host-seeking behaviors that underlie their vectorial capacity. However, the molecular and cellular basis of such olfactory responses remains largely unknown. RESULTS Here, we use molecular and physiological approaches coupled with sy...
