Culex quinquefasciatus strain:strain Transcriptome or Gene expression. Culex quinquefasciatus strain:strain

Understanding mechanisms that contribute to viral dissemination in mosquito vectors will contribute to our ability to interfere with the transmission of viral pathogens that impact public health. The expression of genes in two Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus populations from Florida with known differences in vector competence to West Nile virus (WNV) were compared using high throughput sequencing.

阐明蚊虫媒介内病毒播散的相关机制，可为干预影响公共卫生的病毒病原体传播提供理论支撑。本研究借助高通量测序（high throughput sequencing）技术，对比分析了来自美国佛罗里达州的两个尖音库蚊致倦亚种（Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus）种群的基因表达差异——这两个种群对西尼罗病毒（West Nile virus, WNV）的媒介效能（vector competence）已被证实存在显著区别。
