Towards a Semen Proteome of the Dengue Vector Mosquito: Protein Identification and Potential Functions
15 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: No commercially licensed vaccine or treatment is available for dengue fever, a potentially lethal infection that impacts millions of lives annually. New tools that target mosquito control may reduce vector populations and break the cycle of dengue transmission. Male mosquito seminal fluid proteins (Sfps) are one such target since these proteins, in aggregate, modulate the reproduction and feeding...
