Genome of Anopheles gambiae: What We Know Today Mosquitoes are among the most dangerous animals on Earth not because of their bite itself, but because of the pathogens they transmit. Among them, Anopheles gambiae stands out as one of the most efficient vectors of malaria, responsible for a significant proportion of cases in sub-Saharan Africa. Its success as a vector is not accidental it is deeply rooted in its genetic makeup. Over the past two decades, genomic research has transformed our under …

Recombinant Proteins in Vector Biology Research Introduction Vector-borne diseases, including Malaria, Dengue fever, Zika virus infection, and Chikungunya, continue to represent a major global public health burden. Understanding the biology of disease vectors, such as mosquitoes (Anopheles gambiae, Aedes aegypti, and Culex pipiens), is critical to controlling disease transmission. One of the most powerful tools in modern vector biology research is the use of recombinant proteins, which allow sci …
