TL;DR: 242 Anopheles gambiae genes from 18 gene families implicated in innate immunity are identified and marked diversification relative to Drosophila melanogaster is detected, confirming that sequence diversification is accompanied by specific responses to different immune challenges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic gut microbiome across life history of the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae in Kenya.
TL;DR: Gut community structure was similar in the adult stage between the field and laboratory mosquitoes, indicating that mosquito gut is a selective eco-environment for its microbiome, and suggests a concerted symbiotic genetic association between gut inhabitants and host.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural malaria infection in Anopheles gambiae is regulated by a single genomic control region.

TL;DR: Survey of an Anopheles gambiae population in a West African malaria transmission zone for naturally occurring genetic loci that control mosquito infection with the human malaria parasite finds the strongest Plasmodium resistance loci cluster in a small region of chromosome 2L and each locus explains at least 89% of parasite-free mosquitoes in independent pedigrees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene silencing in mosquito salivary glands by RNAi

TL;DR: The role of AgApy, which encodes an apyrase, in the probing behaviour of An.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genes identified by an expression screen of the vector mosquito Anopheles gambiae display differential molecular immune response to malaria parasites and bacteria.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the insect immune system discriminates between molecular signals specific to infection with bacteria and malaria parasites.
