Project description:Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes play an important role in malaria transmission. In sub-Saharan Africa, the dry season can last several months. The mechanisms for mosquito population to survive through the dry season are poorly understood. One possible mechanism is that adults increase their desiccation tolerance over the dry season. Genetic analyses have shown that inversions 2La, 2Rb, 2Rc, 2Rd and 2Ru are associated with aridity resistance, however little is known about the transcriptional response of genes in response to desiccation. The results of the present study demonstrate that desiccation affects expression of genes associated with several mosquito physiological mechanisms, including those that protect against water loss, but all structural related genes decreased their expression. The identified differentially expressed genes in response to desiccation stress can lay a foundation for better understanding of molecular mechanisms underling dry-season survival of An. gambiae mosquitoes, so it may provide a different option for malaria vector control.

Transcriptional profiles of Anopheles gambiae female mosquitoes were exposed to 70% (standard) or 30% (desiccated) RH without any access to sugar and water at 0hr, 18hr or 36hr.

Project description:Senescence is a biological phenomenon experienced by all living eukaryote organisms. Genome-wide gene expression associated with aging has been explored in model organisms such as Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans, but this has not been well understood in African malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae. Gene expression profiling using DNA microarray allows for simultaneous study of changes in mRNA levels for thousands of genes. This study examined genome-wide gene expression during aging process in An. gambiae. The influence of blood feeding on gene expression was also examined. The data can be used to further our understanding of mosquito senescence and identify biomarkers for mosquito age grading.

Project description:Whole genome transcription was quantified in adult female and male Anopheles gambiae atdifferent ages; 0 (0-24 h), 10, 20 and 30 days post-eclosion. The objective of the experiment was to identify genes with significant age-dependent transcription.

Project description:The transcriptional profile of four tissues for the multi insecticide Anopheles gambiae (Tiassale) and lab susceptible Anopheles gambiae strain N'Gousso. The malpighian tubules, abodmen integument (containing the fat body epidermal, neuronal, muscle and oenocyte cells), midgut and remaining structures were dissected and compared two ways: (i) each body part against the corresponding whole organism (ii) resistant against corresponding susceptible body parts.

Project description:We custom-built a bioinformatics pipeline to search for 20E-modifying enzymes in the accessory glands of Anopheles gambiae males, searching for ecdysteroid kinases (EcK), ecdysone oxidases (EO), and ecdysteroid-phosphate phosphatases (EPP). To this end, we generated RNAseq datasets of different An. gambiae tissues dissected from virgin and mated females and males, and produced similar datasets for Anopheles albimanus, a South American species that does not synthetize and transfer ecdysteroids during mating. These analyses led to the identification of one candidate EPP and two potential EcKs (EcK1 and EcK2), which we demonstrated are involved in the activity of a male-specific oxidized ecdysteroid (3D20E). We further determined that 3D20E is specifically produced by the An. gambiae male accessory glands and is transferred to females during copulation, where it triggers a series of post-mating responses.
