Transcriptional profiling of Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes for adult age estimation
15 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
The age distribution of female mosquitoes in the field is a critical component of vectorial capacity because of the extrinsic incubation period of mosquito-borne pathogens. However this parameter has not been well characterized in malaria vectors because of methodological difficulties; transcriptional profiling provides a potential new approach for age determination. In Anopheles gambiae, microarrays were used to...
