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.

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.
