Annotations of novel antennae-expressed genes in male Glossina morsitans morsitans tsetse flies
Bwana, Billiah K.; Mireji, Paul O.; Obiero, George F.; Gakii, Consolata; Akoth, Modesta O.; Mugweru, Julius N.; Nyabuga, Franklin N.; Wachira, Benson M.; Bateta, Rosemary; Ng’ang’a, Margaret M.; Hassanali, Ahmed (Plos 1, 2022-08)Tsetse flies use antennal expressed genes to navigate their environment. While most canonical genes associated with chemoreception are annotated, potential gaps with important antennal genes are uncharacterized in Glossina ... -
Differential Induction of Proteins in Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (Diptera: Cullicidae) Larvae in Response to Heavy Metal Selection
Mireji, Paul O.; Keating, Joseph; Kenya, Eucharia U.; Mbogo, Charles; Nyambaka, Hudson; Osir, Ellie; Githure, John; Beier, John (National Institute of Health, 2010-07-21)Investigations were conducted to establish the magnitude and pattern of differential expression of proteins due to generational selection of third instar An. gambiae s.s. larvae by cadmium, copper and lead heavy metals, ... -
Expression of metallothionein and tubulin in heavy metal-tolerant Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (Diptera:Culicidae).
Mireji, Paul O.; Keating, Joseph; Hassaali, Ahmed; Impoinvil, Daniel E.; Mbogo, Charles; Muturi, Martha; Nyambaka, Hudson; Kenya, Eucharia U.; Githure, John; Beier, John (Elsevier, 2010)Anopheles mosquitoes have been shown to adapt to heavy metals in their natural habitats. In this study we explored the possibility of using Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto as bioreporters for environmental heavy metal ...
