Insect blood cells or hemocytes play an important role in the defense against parasites and other pathogenic organisms. However, the hemocyte types of three mosquito vectors, Aedes togoi, Anopheles lesteri and Culex quinquefasiatus are not well known

We previously suggested that Armigeres subalbatus (Coquillett) prophenoloxidase III (As-pro-PO III) might be associated with morphogenesis of larvae and pupae. Because PO and its activation system are present in the insect cuticle, and cuticle format

Pathogens that infect and/or are transmitted by mosquitoes typically are exposed to the body cavity, and to haemocytes circulating therein, during development or dissemination. Aedes aegypti haemocytes produce a range of immune response-related gene

Phosphohexomutases reversibly catalyse the transfer of the phosphate group of a glycosyl phosphate between the C6 and C1 positions, and uridine diphosphate (UDP)-hexose pyrophosphorylases catalyse the synthesis of UDP-hexose from uridine triphosphate

Melanization is an effective defence reaction of mosquito hosts against invading parasites. In mosquitoes, the biosynthesis of melanin is initiated by the hydroxylation of tyrosine to DOPA by phenoloxidase (PO). DOPA is a branch point of the melaniza

Mosquito melanization involves hydroxylation of tyrosine to dopa, which then is oxidized to dopaquinone by phenoloxidase, or decarboxylated to dopamine by dopa decarboxlase (DDC). An Armigeres subalbatus cDNA encoding DDC was cloned and real-time PCR

Recently we established a simple, effective antisense strategy using a double subgenomic Sindbis (dsSIN) virus expression system to study gene function in mosquitoes. In this study, we further elucidate the effects of antisense nucleotide number and

Melanization constitutes an important component in various aspects of insect life, including cuticular sclerotization, egg-shell tanning, melanization of parasites and wound healing. Recently, a cDNA encoding prophenoloxidase (pro-PO), a key enzyme i

The biosynthesis of melanotic materials is an important process in the life of a mosquito. Melanin production is critical for many diverse processes such as egg chorion tanning, cuticular sclerotization, and melanotic encapsulation of metazoan parasi
