A microarray analysis of 14 900 genes of the malaria vector mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, shows that as many as 33% (4924) of their corresponding transcription products vary in abundance within 24 h…

Descriptions of groups of genes displaying major differences in transcript accumulation during the adult mosquito life are presented, including those regulated at each analysed time point and each biochemical pathway or biological processes in which they are involved.

It is shown that a CD300a-Ig fusion protein specifically binds to apoptotic cells that are evolutionary apart, such as human and insect cells, suggesting that the ligand has to be conserved.

A novel secreted endonuclease from Culex quinquefasciatus salivary glands

This female-specific secreted endonuclease may assist blood meal intake by lowering the local viscosity created by the release of host DNA in the bite site and/or acting as an indirect anticoagulant factor by producing a defibrotide-like mixture of DNA haptamers.
