Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequence of the tsetse fly (Glossina morsitans ): Vector of African trypanosomiasis

Junichi Watanabe, +147 more
- 25 Apr 2014 - 
TL;DR: The sequence and annotation of the 366-megabase Glossina mors Titans morsitans genome are described, providing a foundation for research into trypanosomiasis prevention and yield important insights with broad implications for multiple aspects of tsetse biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insect Ferritins: typical or atypical?

TL;DR: Insect iron metabolism differs from that of vertebrates in the following respects: insect ferritins associate primarily with the vacuolar system and serve as iron transporters-quite the opposite of the mammalian ferritin, which are mainly cytoplasmic and serving as iron storage proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aedes aegypti ferritin

TL;DR: It is shown that the expression of the Aedes ferritin light-chain homologue (LCH) is also induced with blood-feeding, and that the genes of the LCH and HCH are tightly clustered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptional control is relevant in the modulation of mosquito ferritin synthesis by iron.

TL;DR: In yellow fever mosquito cells (Aag2 clone), iron treatment induces a threefold increase in ferritin message (fer mRNA) and protein (ferritin) by 16 h, compared with work in mammalian hepatocytes and fibroblasts in which fer mRNA levels do not change with iron stimulation, but ferritIn levels increase 50-fold.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of multiple prenatal risk factors on newborn iron status at delivery.

TL;DR: Newborns with greater RF had poorer erythrocyte and storage iron status, highlighting the importance of identifying RF.
