Comprehensive proteolytic profiling of <i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquito midgut extracts: Unraveling the blood meal protein digestion system

2024-09-24

Abstract excerpt

To sustain the gonotrophic cycle, the Aedes aegypti mosquito must acquire a blood meal from a human or other vertebrate host. However, in the process of blood feeding, the mosquito may facilitate the transmission of several bloodborne viral pathogens ( e.g. , dengue, Zika, and chikungunya). The blood meal is essential as it contains proteins that are digested into polypeptides and amino acid nutrients that are e...
