Regulation of the antennal transcriptome of the dengue vector, Aedes aegypti, during the first gonotrophic cycle

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In the light of dengue being the fastest growing transmissible disease, there is a dire need to identify the mechanisms regulating the behaviour of the main vector Aedes aegypti. Disease transmission requires the female mosquito to acquire the pathogen from a blood meal during one gonotrophic cycle, and to pass it on in the next, and the capacity of the vector to maintain the disease relies on a...
