Genomic Islands of Speciation in Anopheles gambiae

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2005
The African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (A. gambiae), provides a unique opportunity to study the evolution of reproductive isolation because it is divided into two sympatric, partially isolated subtaxa known as M form and S form. With the annotated genome of this species now available, high-throughput techniques can be applied to ...

Insecticide Resistance in Anopheles gambiae Giles

Nature, 1956
ALTHOUGH authenticated cases of physiological resistance to insecticides on the part of anopheline mosquitoes have been reported from Europe1, North America2 and the Far East3, no such occurrence has so far been reported from Africa. The following preliminary observations appear to constitute a prima facie case of such resistance and it has therefore ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Anopheles gambiae genome

Trends in Parasitology, 2001
A project to sequence the 260 million base pairs of Anopheles gambiae, the most important insect vector of the malaria parasite in sub-Saharan Africa, was recently agreed by an international network of researchers at a meeting at the Institut Pasteur, France. The first version of the genome, which will be freely available on public databases, should be

Benzene Hexachloride Metabolism in Anopheles gambiae

Nature, 1956
WE have recently been able to examine the absorption and metabolism of benzene hexachloride by susceptible and γ-BHC-resistant strains of Anopheles gambiae. The resistant strain, which originated in an area of northern Nigeria where dieldrin is being used as a residual spray1, was dispatched to England by members of the Nigerian Malaria Service and has

Anopheles gambiae Complex

Nature, 1962
THE existence of two fresh-water forms (A and B) of Anopheles gambiae Giles which, when crossed, produce sterile F1 males has been established by Davidson and Jackson1. A salt-water tolerant strain of the same species from near Tanga, Tanganyika, has been shown to be partially incompatible with two strains of the group A fresh-water form2,3, while the ...
