Comprehensive genetic dissection of the hemocyte immune response in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae.

Reverse genetics in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae by RNAi mediated gene silencing has led in recent years to an advanced understanding of the mosquito immune response against infections with bacteria and malaria parasites. We developed RNAi screens in An. gambiae hemocyte-like cells using a library...
