To gain better insight into the molecular link between the post-mating transcriptional and morphological changes and the behavioral and physiological shift induced by copulation in An. gambiae females, we performed an in-depth transcriptional analysis of the female lower reproductive tract (LRT), co...
ORGANISM(S): Anopheles gambiae 
Male Anophele gambiae mosquitoes transfer the steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) to the female lower reproductive tract during mating. We have shown that this sexually transferred hormone is a key regulator of monandry and oviposition in An. gambiae females. In order to identify possible molec...
ORGANISM(S): Anopheles gambiae 
Since Anopheles gambiae female mosquitoes mate only once in their lifetime, and store sperm received from males potentially for weeks, genes and pathways regulated by mating in the sperm storage organ (spermatheca) to preserve sperm function may represent new targets for vector control. The transcri...
