چکیده انگلیسی
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of the innate immune responses of Anopheles gambiae against Plasmodium parasites is of great importance for current efforts to develop novel strategies for malaria disease control. The parasite undergoes substantial stage-specific losses during its development in the mosquito, which in some cases lead to complete refractoriness of the mosquito against the parasite. The underlying genetics of refractoriness are complex and multifactorial. Completion of the genome sequence of An. gambiae 2 years ago, together with the development of DNA microarrays in this species and the extension of the RNAi technique to adult mosquitoes, has allowed comparative and functional genomic approaches of the mosquito innate immune system. A variety of factors were shown to negatively affect the development of Plasmodium parasites in the mosquito, in some cases leading to complete transmission blockage. In addition, mosquito factors have been identified that play positive roles and are required for successful transmission of the parasite. These findings indicate a highly complex interplay between parasite and vector. Research is continuing to identify new factors involved in this interaction and to decipher the interplay of these molecules and their regulation.
