DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-06317-6
Abstract: Malaria is caused by mosquito-borne Plasmodium spp. parasites that must infect and survive within mosquito salivary glands (SGs) prior to host transmission. Recent advances in transcriptomics and the complete genome sequencing of mosquito vectors have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-07462-3
Abstract: Anopheles stephensi is the most menacing malaria vector to watch for in newly urbanising parts of the world. Its fitness is reported to be a direct consequence of the vector adapting to laying eggs in… read more here.
