Disease relevance of Anopheles

 

Psychiatry related information on Anopheles

  • We have isolated AgArr1, an arrestin-encoding cDNA from the malaria vector mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, where olfaction is critical for vectorial capacity [6].
 

High impact information on Anopheles

  • Complement-like protein TEP1 is a determinant of vectorial capacity in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae [7].
  • Anopheles mosquitoes are major vectors of human malaria in Africa. Large variation exists in the ability of mosquitoes to serve as vectors and to transmit malaria parasites, but the molecular mechanisms that determine vectorial capacity remain poorly understood [7].
  • We characterize a novel hemocyte-specific acute phase glycoprotein from the malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae [8].
  • Seven of these 17 isoforms are present in the distantly-related Dipteran Anopheles gambiae, suggesting that the properties of specific isoforms are likely to be critical to lola function [9].
  • A new insect member of the STAT family of transcription factors (Ag-STAT) has been cloned from the human malaria vector Anopheles gambiae [10].

Gene context of Anopheles

  • Similar inserts seem to exist in the Start1 homologues of Drosophila pseudoobscura and Anopheles gambiae, but not in the homologous protein of the urochordate Ciona intestinalis [30].
  • As a first step we have cloned and functionally expressed the gene that is the orthologue of DmTrx-2 in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae [31].
  • Troponin C in different insect muscle types: identification of two isoforms in Lethocerus, Drosophila and Anopheles that are specific to asynchronous flight muscle in the adult insect [32].
  • Thioredoxin reductase from the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae [33].
  • We report here the characterization of a complete cDNA sequence encoding a LSP-1-like protein from a lower dipteran insect, the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae [34].
