RNA-seq analyses of blood-induced changes in gene expression in the mosquito vector species, Aedes aegypti
28 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hematophagy is a common trait of insect vectors of disease. Extensive genome-wide transcriptional changes occur in mosquitoes after blood meals, and these are related to digestive and reproductive processes, among others. Studies of these changes are expected to reveal molecular targets for novel vector control and pathogen transmission-blocking strategies. The mosquito Aedes aegypti (Diptera,...
