Project description:Malaria inflicts the highest rate of morbidity and mortality among the vector-borne diseases. The dramatic bottleneck of parasite numbers that occurs in the gut of the obligatory mosquito vector provides a promising target for novel control strategies. Using single-cell transcriptomics, we analyzed Plasmodium falciparum development in the mosquito gut, from unfertilized female gametes through the first 20 hours post blood feeding, including the zygote and ookinete stages. This study revealed the temporal gene expression of the ApiAP2 family of transcription factors, and of parasite stress genes in response to the harsh environment of the mosquito midgut. Further, employing structural protein prediction analyses we found several upregulated genes predicted to encode intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), a category of proteins known for their importance in regulation of transcription, translation and protein-protein interactions. IDPs are known for their antigenic properties and may serve as suitable targets for antibody or peptide-based transmission suppression strategies. In total, this study uncovers the P. falciparum transcriptome from early-to-late parasite development in the mosquito midgut, inside its natural vector, which provides an important resource for future malaria transmission-blocking initiatives.

Project description:The Anopheles gambiae midgut harbors bacteria that proliferate upon a blood feed. We used microarrays to examine the midgut gene expression response at early stages (3hours) after an artifitial meal containing heat killed bacteria. Anopheles gambiae G3 mosquitoes 5-6 day-old were fed BSA (20% in PBS with fresh 10 mM sodium bicarbonate) with or without heat killed E. coli (equivalent of 2.5 ml of 0.8 OD) . Three pools of 10 mosquito midguts were dissected after 3h and processed for microarray analysis of gene expression.
