Anopheles gambiae lacking AgTRIO probe inefficiently on a mammalian host.
Malaria is initiated as Plasmodium sporozoites are injected into the dermis when an infected mosquito probes on a vertebrate host for a blood meal. Factors in the mosquito saliva, such as AgTRIO, can alter the ability of Anopheles gambiae to transmit Plasmodium. We therefore used CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing to generate AgTRIO knockout (KO) A. gambiae and examined the ability of these mosquitoes to probe on a vertebrate host. AgTRIO KO mosquitoes showed a diminished host probing capacity and required repetitive probing to locate a blood resource to complete a blood meal. This increased probing resulted in enhanced Plasmodium transmission to the vertebrate host. Our data demonstrate the importance of the A. gambiae saliva protein AgTRIO in probing and its influence on the ability of mosquitoes to transmit malaria.
期刊介绍:
Cell Reports publishes high-quality research across the life sciences and focuses on new biological insight as its primary criterion for publication. The journal offers three primary article types: Reports, which are shorter single-point articles, research articles, which are longer and provide deeper mechanistic insights, and resources, which highlight significant technical advances or major informational datasets that contribute to biological advances. Reviews covering recent literature in emerging and active fields are also accepted.
The Cell Reports Portfolio includes gold open-access journals that cover life, medical, and physical sciences, and its mission is to make cutting-edge research and methodologies available to a wide readership.
The journal's professional in-house editors work closely with authors, reviewers, and the scientific advisory board, which consists of current and future leaders in their respective fields. The advisory board guides the scope, content, and quality of the journal, but editorial decisions are independently made by the in-house scientific editors of Cell Reports.
