Molecular archaeology: individual human DNA and infection profiles from 100 year old mosquitoes

2023-05-19

Abstract excerpt

Natural history collections represent a vast biological and genetic resource, which has remained largely untapped. We revisit mosquito collections of varying ages; some made by early tropical medicine pioneers over 100 years ago. By applying species-specific primers, a panel of forensic short tandem repeat (STR) markers, and Plasmodium diagnostics, we were able to obtain the unique genetic profile and Plasmodium...
