Sanches, Gustavo Seron; Villar, Margarita; Couto, Joana; Ferrolho, J.; Fernández de Mera, Isabel G.; André, Marcos RogérioThe tick vector Rhipicephalus sanguineus is established as a complex of closely related species with high veterinary-medical significance, in which the presence of different genetic, morphological, and biological traits has resulted in the recognition of different lineages within taxa. One of the most striking differences in the "temperate" and "tropical" lineages of R. sanguineus (s.l.) is the vector competenc...
Reduction of mosquito survival in mice vaccinated with Anopheles stephensi gluc...
Couto, J.; Antunes, S.; Ferrolho, J.; De La Fuente, J.; Domingos, A.Despite the fact that recent efforts to control/eradicate malaria have contributed to a significant decrease in the number of cases and deaths, the disease remains a global health challenge. Vaccines based on mosquito salivary gland antigens are a potential approach for reducing vector populations and malaria parasites. The Anopheles AGAP007752 gene encodes for a glucose transporter that is upregulated during P...
