Project description:Gene expression was determined for Male accessory gland and testes in different members of the Anopheles gambiae complex, including An. gambiae (Savannah, MRA-762), An. coluzzii (Mopti) [2], An. arabiensis [3], An. merus [4] and An. quadriannalatus [5. All the mosquito stocks were obtained from the Malaria Research and Reference Reagent Resource Center (MR4) in Atlanta (https://www.beiresources.org/Catalog/BEIVectors/MRA-762.aspx). References: 1.

Project description:The transcriptional profile of Anopheles arabiensis collected from a pyrethroid resistant area on Pemba Island collected in 2011 was compared to that of a lab susceptible colony of Anopheles arabiensis (MOZ).
Project description:We use RNA-Seq to investigate gene expression differences in response to saltwater exposure by the larval stages of the obligate freshwater mosquito Anopheles coluzzii (formerly An. gambiae "M" form), and the euryhaline An. merus.
Project description:The transcriptional profile of pyrethroid resistant Anopheles arabiensis from Zanzibar. Anopheles arabiensis from Pemba Island, exposed (Survivors) and non-exposed (Pemba) to a discriminating dose of the pyrethroid lambda-cyhalothrin were compared to two insecticide susceptible strains from Zanzibar island (Unguja) and Dar es Salaam (Dar).
Project description:Proteomic analysis of Anopheles gambiae brain tissue after in-gel trypsin digestion. To gain insights into neurobiology of the Anopheles gambiae mosquito, we carried out a proteomic analysis of its brain using a comprehensive proteomic approach.
