Genome sequence of Aedes aegypti, a major arbovirus vector

Vishvanath Nene, +94 more
- 22 Jun 2007 - 
TL;DR: A draft sequence of the genome of Aedes aegypti, the primary vector for yellow fever and dengue fever, which at approximately 1376 million base pairs is about 5 times the size of the genomes of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae was presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

G protein-coupled receptors in Anopheles gambiae.

TL;DR: This work used bioinformatic approaches to identify 276 G protein–coupled receptors from the Anopheles gambiae genome that are likely to play roles in pathways affecting almost every aspect of the mosquito's life cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequences of the human body louse and its primary endosymbiont provide insights into the permanent parasitic lifestyle

Ewen F. Kirkness, +78 more
TL;DR: The genome sequences of the body louse and its primary bacterial endosymbiont Candidatus Riesia pediculicola are presented, providing a reference for studies of holometabolous insects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic insights into the Ixodes scapularis tick vector of Lyme disease

Monika Gulia-Nuss, +124 more
TL;DR: Insights from genome analyses into parasitic processes unique to ticks, including host ‘questing', prolonged feeding, cuticle synthesis, blood meal concentration, novel methods of haemoglobin digestion, haem detoxification, vitellogenesis and prolonged off-host survival are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved reference genome of Aedes aegypti informs arbovirus vector control

Benjamin J. Matthews, +87 more
- 14 Nov 2018 - 
TL;DR: An improved, fully re-annotated Aedes aegypti genome assembly (AaegL5) provides insights into the sex-determining M locus, chemosensory systems that help mosquitoes to hunt humans and loci involved in insecticide resistance and will help to generate intervention strategies to fight this deadly disease vector.
