The Developmental Transcriptome of the Mosquito <i>Aedes aegypti</i>, an Invasive Species and Major Arbovirus Vector

Abstract excerpt

Mosquitoes are vectors of a number of important human and animal diseases. The development of novel vector control strategies requires a thorough understanding of mosquito biology. To facilitate this, we used RNA-seq to identify novel genes and provide the first high-resolution view of the transcriptome throughout development and in response to blood feeding in a mosquito vector of human disease, Aedes aegypti,...
