Vitellogenesis in Mosquitoes

  • Chapter
Advances in Disease Vector Research

Part of the book series: Advances in Disease Vector Research ((VECTOR,volume 9))

Abstract

Malaria, dengue and other mosquito-borne infections are among the most devastating diseases (57, 144). The maintenance and dispersal of mosquito-borne disease depends upon the successful reproduction of the mosquito. The cornerstone of the reproductive cycle is vitellogenesis involving massive production of yolk protein precursors and their accumulation in developing oocytes. In anautogeneous mosquitoes, vitellogenesis is dependent on the availability of a blood meal and, as a consequence, is linked to transmission of pathogens. Pathogens acquired transovarially or from an infected host during an initial blood meal are transmitted during subsequent blood meals. Therefore, elucidation of vitellogenesis and other aspects of mosquito reproductive physiology is critical for the successful development of novel strategies in vector and disease management.
