Gene expression changes in the salivary glands of Anopheles coluzzii elicited by Plasmodium berghei infection
23 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Malaria is a devastating infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Salivary glands are the only mosquito tissue invaded by Plasmodium sporozoites, being a key stage for the effective parasite transmission, making the study of Anopheles sialome highly relevant. METHODS: RNA-sequencing was used to compare differential gene...
