Seminal fluid and sperm proteomics of Aedes aegypti

ABSTRACT: Sperm samples were extracted from adult A. aegypti male seminal vesicles. Semen samples were extracted from bursa of recently mated bursa of N15 labeled females. The goal was to differentiate between the contribution of seminal fluid proteins and sperm proteins in the semen transfered to the female. Our results yield insights into the molecular function, genome organization, regulation, and evolution of sperm proteins and SFPs in this important disease vector.
