Spatial mapping of gene expression in the salivary glands of the dengue vector mosquito, Aedes aegypti
4 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are the main vectors of dengue viruses to humans. Understanding their biology and interactions with the pathogen are prerequisites for development of dengue transmission control strategies. Mosquito salivary glands are organs involved directly in pathogen transmission to vertebrate hosts. Information on the spatial distribution of gene expression in these organs is expected to...
