Interplay between nutrient transporters ensures fertility in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae

I. Stryapunina, M. Itoe, Q. Trinh, C. Vidoudez, E. Du, L. Mendoza, O. Hulai, J. Kauffman, J. Carew, W. R. Shaw, F. Catteruccia

This study shows that lipid transporter Lp and yolk protein Vg are reciprocally regulated in Anopheles gambiae to ensure fertility by maintaining proper nutrient balance in oocytes.

20E-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C gamma underpins egg development in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae

S. Ferracchiato, F. Catteruccia, M. J. Peirce

This study identifies 20E-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of PLCγ as critical for egg development in Anopheles gambiae following blood feeding.

Cuticular hydrocarbons are associated with mating success and insecticide resistance in malaria vectors

K. L. Adams, S. P. Sawadogo, C. Nignan, A. Niang, D. G. Paton, W. R. G. Shaw, A. South, J. Wang, M. A. Itoe, K. Werling, R. K. Dabire, A. Diabate, F. Catteruccia

This study shows that cuticular hydrocarbons in Anopheles coluzzii males are linked to mating success and insecticide resistance.

Wolbachia cifB induces cytoplasmic incompatibility in the malaria mosquito

K. L. Adams, D. G. Abernathy, B. C. Willett, E. K. Selland, M. A. Itoe, F. Catteruccia

This study shows that cifB alone can induce cytoplasmic incompatibility in Anopheles gambiae, while cifA can rescue fertility, suggesting a need for balance between the two genes for effective Wolbachia-mediated reproductive manipulation.

Antimalarials in mosquitoes overcome Anopheles and Plasmodium resistance to malaria control strategies

D. G. Paton, A. S. Probst, E. Ma, K. L. Adams, W. R. Shaw, N. Singh, S. Bopp, S. K. Volkman, D. F. S. Hien, P. Pare, S. R. Yerbanga, A. Diabate, R. K. Dabire, T. Lefevre, D. Wirth, F. Catteruccia

This paper demonstrates that antimalarial drugs can block malaria transmission by targeting mosquitoes, remaining effective against resistant strains of both mosquitoes and parasites.

A mating-induced reproductive gene promotes Anopheles tolerance to Plasmodium falciparum infection

P. Marcenac, W. R. Shaw, E. G. Kakani, S. N. Mitchell, A. South, K. Werling, E. Marrogi, D. G. Abernathy, R. S. Yerbanga, R. K. Dabire, A. Diabate, T. Lefevre, F. Catteruccia

The paper shows that mating-induced gene MISO in Anopheles mosquitoes protects females from fecundity costs of Plasmodium falciparum infection without affecting parasite development.

Multiple blood feeding in mosquitoes shortens the Plasmodium falciparum incubation period and increases malaria transmission potential

W. R. Shaw, I. E. Holmdahl, M. A. Itoe, K. Werling, M. Marquette, D. G. Paton, N. Singh, C. O. Buckee, L. M. Childs, F. Catteruccia

This study shows that additional blood feeding in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes accelerates Plasmodium falciparum development, shortens the extrinsic incubation period, and increases malaria transmission potential.

JNK signaling regulates oviposition in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae

M. J. Peirce, S. N. Mitchell, E. G. Kakani, P. Scarpelli, A. South, W. R. Shaw, K. L. Werling, P. Gabrieli, P. Marcenac, M. Bordoni, V. N. Talesa, F. Catteruccia

This study identifies JNK signaling as a regulator of oviposition in Anopheles gambiae, linking stress responses to reproductive success.

Steroid hormone agonists reduce female fitness in insecticide-resistant Anopheles populations

F. Brown, D. G. Paton, F. Catteruccia, H. Ranson, V. A. Ingham

This study shows that applying methoxyfenozide reduces egg production and adult longevity in insecticide-resistant Anopheles mosquitoes, suggesting it could complement malaria control strategies.

Design and assessment of TRAP-CSP fusion antigens as effective malaria vaccines

C. Lu, G. Song, K. Beale, J. Yan, E. Garst, E. Lund, F. Catteruccia, T. A. Springer

This study designs and evaluates TRAP-CSP fusion antigens as malaria vaccines, finding that those containing the CSP repeat region provide complete sterile protection in mice.
