The susceptibility of Anopheles mosquitoes to Plasmodium infections relies on complex
interactions between the insect vector and the malaria parasite. A number of studies have …

One proposed strategy for controlling the transmission of insect-borne pathogens uses a
drive mechanism to ensure the rapid spread of transgenes conferring disease refractoriness …

More than a century after the discovery of the complex life cycle of its causative agent,
malaria remains a major health problem. Understanding mosquito–malaria interactions …

The nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathways in Drosophila are multi-component pathways,
as in vertebrates, that regulate the expression of many genes responsible for the formation …

For successful transmission to the vertebrate host, malaria sporozoites must migrate from the
mosquito midgut to the salivary glands. Here, using purified sporozoites inoculated into the …

Animal and human pathogens that are transmitted by arthropods are a global concern,
particularly those vectored by mosquitoes (eg, Plasmodium spp. and dengue virus). Vector …

Abstract Background The Indian city of Chennai is endemic for malaria and the known local
malaria vector is Anopheles stephensi. Plasmodium vivax is the predominant malaria …

In the mosquito Aedes aegypti, the expression of two fat body genes involved in lipid
metabolism, a lipid carrier protein lipophorin (Lp) and its lipophorin receptor (LpRfb), was …

In much of sub-Saharan Africa, the mosquito Anopheles gambiae is the main vector of the
major human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. Convenient laboratory studies have …

Malaria remains a devastating disease despite efforts at control and prevention. Extensive
studies using mostly rodent infection models reveal that successful Plasmodium parasite …
