TSU scientists have mapped the genome of dangerous malaria vectors
2017-01-10
Researchers at the TSU Laboratory for Ecology, Genetics and Environmental Protection (Ecogene), the Department of Cytology and Genetics of TSU’s Biological Institute, and the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech, USA), have completed work on the physical mapping of the genome of one of the malaria vectors in Central and South America - the malaria mosquito Anopheles albimanus.
The map opens a new page in the study of one of the most dangerous carriers of the causative agents of malaria, from which more than 400,000 people in the world die each year, and extends the possibilities in the fight against the deadly infection.
