RNA-seq analyses of gene expression changes in the salivary glands of Anopheles gambiae elicited by Plasmodium berghei infection
Salivary glands are the only mosquito tissue invaded by Plasmodium sporozoites being a key stage for the effective parasite transmission and maturation, making knowledge regarding Anopheles sialome highly relevant to understand this process. In this study, we report for the first time a transcriptomic analysis using RNA-seq of An. gambiae infected by P. berghei.
