Vitellogenin gene expression in autogenous Culex tarsalis
28 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
Autogeny, the ability of a mosquito to mature an initial batch of eggs without blood feeding, is an alternative reproductive strategy with important implications for vector-borne disease transmission. Regulation of the major yolk protein (vitellogenin; Vg) genes during bloodmeal-induced oogenesis is well studied, but little is known about regulation of vitellogenesis in autogenous mosquitoes. We characterized the...
