Immune responses in Anopheles gambiae

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2004
Transmission of human malaria requires a successful development of Plasmodium parasites in anopheline mosquitoes. Insects have developed efficient immune responses to oppose microbial and eukaryotic invaders. The completion of the sequencing of the Anopheles genome provides a wealth of information on putative immune genes that are homologous to ...

The hemolymph proteome of Anopheles gambiae

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2005
We used two-dimensional SDS-PAGE and microsequencing or peptide mass fingerprinting to identify major proteins in the hemolymph of Anopheles gambiae. We found approximately 280 protein spots in hemolymph and identified 28 spots, representing 26 individual proteins. Most of these proteins have known or predicted functions in immunity, iron transport, or

Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles amharicus, new members of the Anopheles gambiae complex

Zootaxa, 2013
Two new species within the Anopheles gambiae complex are here described and named. Based on molecular and bionomical evidence, the An. gambiae molecular "M form" is named Anopheles coluzzii Coetzee & Wilkerson sp. n., while the "S form" retains the nominotypical name Anopheles gambiae Giles.

PHYSIOLOGY OF DESICCATION RESISTANCE IN ANOPHELES GAMBIAE AND ANOPHELES ARABIENSIS

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2005
Desiccation resistance and water balance were studied in the adult female mosquitoes Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto. When the two species were reared from egg to adult under identical conditions, An. arabiensis had significantly higher desiccation resistance than did An. gambiae.

RNAi in the Malaria Vector, Anopheles gambiae

2009
Malaria is a disease that kills more than a million people each year in tropical and subtropical countries. The disease is caused by Plasmodium parasites and is transmitted to humans exclusively by mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles. The lack of functional approaches has hampered study of the biological networks that determine parasite transmission by ...

Maxillary Index in Anopheles gambiae Giles

Nature, 1961
FRESHWATER Anopheles gambiae may be distinguished as two co-existing biological races1–3, on the basis of their maxillary indices, namely : (i) a paucidentate race, breeding in temporary pools of low organic content, which is anthropophilic and mainly exophilic, and (ii) a multidentate race, breeding in permanent types of water of high organic content,

The Tryptophan oxygenase gene of Anopheles gambiae

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1996
The Anopheles gambiae gene encoding tryptophan oxygenase, a homolog of the Drosophila melanogaster vermilion gene, has been molecularly cloned and characterized. Unlike Drosophila, where it is X-linked, the A. gambiae gene maps to chromosome 2R, subdivision 12E, by in situ hybridization to the polytene chromosomes.

Reproductive physiology of Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles atroparvus.

Journal of vector ecology : journal of the Society for Vector Ecology, 2005
When exposed to a human host, Anopheles gambiae started probing 4 h post-eclosion, but 95% successfully blood-fed by 16-20 h with maximal blood volumes of 5- 10 microl per female. When fed sugar, the 95% feeding was not observed until 36-40 h post-eclosion; sugar meals appeared to interfere with blood meals. Similarly in An. atroparvus, maximum volumes
