Genetics of mosquito vector competence.
Mosquito-borne diseases are responsible for significant human morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Efforts to control mosquito-borne diseases have been impeded, in part, by the development of drug-resistant parasites, insecticide-resistant mosquitoes, and environmental concerns over the application of insecticides. Therefore, there is a need to develop novel disease control strategies ...
متن کاملGenetic manipulation of mosquito vector competence of the type
Transformation vector For [SM1]4, a synthetic gene coding for four units of the SM1 peptide (PCQRAIFQSICN) separated by 4-amino-acid (GSPG) linkers was constructed as follows. Two oligonucleotides, SM1þ (5 0 -CCCGTGCCAGCGCGCCATCTTCCAGTCGATCTGCAA CGGCTCGCCGGG-3 0 ) and SM1 (5 0 -GCCCGGCGAGCCGTTGCAGATCGACTGGAA GATGGCGCGCTGGCACGG-3 0 ), were annealed, phosphorlylated and self-ligated. The ligation...
متن کاملApplications of molecular marker analysis to mosquito vector competence.
A rapidly expanding cadre of molecular biology techniques is being developed for human and plant genetics, including development of the technology to identify large numbers of genetic markers and to evaluate these markers relative to phenotypic observations. In this review, David Severson discusses applications of these techniques for the analysis of mosquito vector competence.
متن کاملReciprocal Tripartite Interactions between the Aedes aegypti Midgut Microbiota, Innate Immune System and Dengue Virus Influences Vector Competence
Dengue virus is one of the most important arboviral pathogens and the causative agent of dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and dengue shock syndrome. It is transmitted between humans by the mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, and at least 2.5 billion people are at daily risk of infection. During their lifecycle, mosquitoes are exposed to a variety of microbes, some of which are...
متن کاملQuantitative trait loci that control vector competence for dengue-2 virus in the mosquito Aedes aegypti.
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting the ability of the mosquito Aedes aegypti to become infected with dengue-2 virus were mapped in an F(1) intercross. Dengue-susceptible A. aegypti aegypti were crossed with dengue refractory A. aegypti formosus. F(2) offspring were analyzed for midgut infection and escape barriers. In P(1) and F(1) parents and in 207 F(2) individuals, regions of 14 cDNA lo...
