Description:
The mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus poses a substantial threat to human and veterinary health as a primary vector of West Nile virus (WNV), the filarial worm Wuchereria bancrofti, and an avian malaria parasite. Comparative phylogenomics revealed an expanded canonical C. quinquefasciatus immune gene repertoire compared with those of Aedes aegypti and Anopheles gambiae. Transcriptomic analysis of C. quinquefasciatus genes responsive to WNV, W. bancrofti, and non-native bacteria facilitated an unprecedented meta-analysis of 25 vector-pathogen interactions involving arboviruses, filarial worms, bacteria, and malaria parasites, revealing common and distinct responses to these pathogen types in three mosquito genera. Our findings provide support for the hypothesis that mosquito-borne pathogens have evolved to evade innate immune responses in three vector mosquito species of major medical importance.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3104938/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3104938/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bartholomay, Lyric C -- Waterhouse, Robert M -- Mayhew, George F -- Campbell, Corey L -- Michel, Kristin -- Zou, Zhen -- Ramirez, Jose L -- Das, Suchismita -- Alvarez, Kanwal -- Arensburger, Peter -- Bryant, Bart -- Chapman, Sinead B -- Dong, Yuemei -- Erickson, Sara M -- Karunaratne, S H P Parakrama -- Kokoza, Vladimir -- Kodira, Chinnappa D -- Pignatelli, Patricia -- Shin, Sang Woon -- Vanlandingham, Dana L -- Atkinson, Peter W -- Birren, Bruce -- Christophides, George K -- Clem, Rollie J -- Hemingway, Janet -- Higgs, Stephen -- Megy, Karine -- Ranson, Hilary -- Zdobnov, Evgeny M -- Raikhel, Alexander S -- Christensen, Bruce M -- Dimopoulos, George -- Muskavitch, Marc A T -- F31 AI080161/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- F31 AI080161-01A1/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HHSN266200400001C/AO/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HHSN266200400001C/PHS HHS/ -- HHSN266200400039C/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HHSN266200400039C/PHS HHS/ -- P20 RR017686/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- P20 RR017686-01/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI019769/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI019769-26/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI059492/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI059492-05/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI061576/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI061576-08/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI067698/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI067698-05/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI078997/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI078997-02/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI095842/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI19769/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI59492/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI67698/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R21 AI067642/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R21 AI067642-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T01CCT622892/PHS HHS/ -- T32 A107536/PHS HHS/ -- T32 AI007414/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32 AI007417/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Oct 1;330(6000):88-90. doi: 10.1126/science.1193162.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Entomology, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20929811" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
