Researchers have sequenced the genomes of 16 Anopheles mosquito species, revealing genetic differences between deadly parasite-transmitting species and their harmless cousins. The study offers new insights into how these species adapt to new environments and interact with humans, potentially advancing malaria control efforts.
A team of researchers sequenced the genomes of 16 Anopheles species to understand their genetic differences and how they adapt to new environments. The study offers new insights into the evolutionary history of these mosquitoes and their ability to transmit malaria parasites.
A study by LSTM researchers reveals that closely related Anopheles gambiae and A. coluzzii mosquito species can exchange genetic variation to adapt to environmental changes. The transfer of a major insecticide resistance mutation resulted in no detectable impact on reproductive isolation, contrary to expected outcomes.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute have developed a new method to compare proteins of An. albimanus and An. gambiae midguts, shedding light on the complex molecular workings of An. albimanus, a significant but understudied spreader of human malaria.
Researchers at UC Riverside have sequenced the genome of Culex quinquefasciatus, a mosquito that spreads West Nile virus and other diseases. The study provides insights into the genetic makeup of the mosquito and could lead to novel strategies for preventing disease transmission.
International collaboration sequences mosquito genome, revealing gene functions and immune system adaptations that help understand why only a few species transmit human malaria. The findings provide a head start for researchers to develop new therapies against the disease.
The sequencing of both P. falciparum and its insect vector heralds a new era in the fight against malaria. This detailed map of the parasite's 5,300 genes will enable investigators to design targeted anti-malarial drugs.
Researchers have identified 276 G protein-coupled receptors in the Anopheles mosquito genome, including 155 external chemosensory receptors that allow female mosquitoes to detect humans and other mammals by taste or smell. The discovery provides a new approach to studying mosquitoes and reducing the spread of malaria and other diseases.
The newly-sequenced Anopheles gambiae genome holds promise for developing new insecticides, transmission-blocking vaccines, and mosquito repellants. Researchers identified genes involved in the mosquito's ability to host the malaria parasite and located targets for new insecticides.
A team of researchers from Vanderbilt University identified 276 genes in the Anopheles gambiae genome that code for G-protein-coupled receptors essential to the mosquito's senses. The study found 79 genes involved in its sense of smell and 72 in its taste, shedding light on the insect's strong preference for human hosts.
The NIAID has awarded a $9 million grant to Celera to rapidly sequence the Anopheles mosquito genome. This initiative will provide scientists with a unique opportunity to study the natural history of malaria by analyzing and comparing the genomes of mosquitoes, humans, and Plasmodium falciparum parasites.
