Induction of mosquitocidal activity in mice immunized with Anopheles gambiae midgut cDNA.
Vaccines that induce mosquito-killing (mosquitocidal) activity could substantially reduce the transmission of certain mosquito-borne diseases, especially vaccines against African malaria vectors, such as the mosquito Anopheles gambiae. To generate and characterize antimosquito immunity we immunized groups of mice with two individual A. gambiae midgut cDNAs, Ag-Aper1 (a secreted peritrophic matr...
متن کاملمقایسه تاثیر آنتیبادیهای ضد میان روده پشه آنوفل استفنسی بر روی چرخه اسپروگونی انگل پلاسمودیوم برگئی در دو سویه از آنوفل استفنسی
Background & Aims: Malaria parasites attach to molecules on midgut surface of Anopheles mosquitoes to continue their life cycle. Here we try to evaluate the effect of anti-Anopheles midgut antibodies on coating these molecules and consequently blocking the transmission cycle of Plasmodium berghei inside their vectors. Materials & Methods: Balb/c mice were immunized with homogenized and degly...
متن کاملMosquitocidal properties of IgG targeting the glutamate-gated chloride channel in three mosquito disease vectors (Diptera: Culicidae).
The glutamate-gated chloride channel (GluCl) is a highly sensitive insecticide target of the avermectin class of insecticides. As an alternative to using chemical insecticides to kill mosquitoes, we tested the effects of purified immunoglobulin G (IgG) targeting the extracellular domain of GluCl from Anopheles gambiae (AgGluCl) on the survivorship of three key mosquito disease vectors: Anophele...
متن کاملAnopheles stephensi Heme Peroxidase HPX15 Suppresses Midgut Immunity to Support Plasmodium Development
The heme peroxidase HPX15 is an evolutionary conserved anopheline lineage-specific gene. Previously, we found that this gene is present in the genome of 19 worldwide distributed different species of Anopheles mosquito and its orthologs are absent in other mosquitoes, insects, or human. In addition, 65-99% amino acid identity among these 19 orthologs permitted us to hypothesize that the function...
متن کاملAnalysis of Two Novel Midgut-Specific Promoters Driving Transgene Expression in Anopheles stephensi Mosquitoes
BACKGROUND Tissue-specific promoters controlling the expression of transgenes in Anopheles mosquitoes represent a valuable tool both for studying the interaction between these malaria vectors and the Plasmodium parasites they transmit and for novel malaria control strategies based on developing Plasmodium-refractory mosquitoes by expressing anti-parasitic genes. With this aim we have studied th...
