<i>Anopheles gambiae</i> salivary gland proteins as putative targets for blocking transmission of malaria parasites
21 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
Anopheles gambiae is the primary vector of human malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Invasion of Anopheles salivary glands by Plasmodium sporozoites is a necessary step in the transmission of malaria and is likely to be mediated by specific receptor-ligand interactions. We are interested in identifying putative an A. gambiae salivary gland receptor or receptors for sporozoite invasion as a possible target for blocking...
