Serratia_SNP1

ABSTRACT: Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes of the M form N'gousso laboratory colony were antibiotic treated and subsequently orally infected with the Db11-GFP fluorescent strain of Serratia marcescens. Bacteria-fed mosquitoes were separated 2 days post infection based on the presence in the mosquito gut of a dye contained in the sugar solution. Mosquitoes were dissected 5 days post infection and the level of S. marcescens infection was determined through microscopic observation of mosquito guts under a fluorescence microscope. Highly infected mosquitoes, with an extensive presence of fluorescent S. marcescens throughout their gut and non-infected mosquitoes, with no sign of fluorescence traced in their gut, were further used for SNP genotyping. Genomic DNA from pools of 15 highly infected and 15 non-inf
