Ookinete-Specific Genes and 18S SSU rRNA Evidenced in Selection and Adaptation by Sympatric Vectors.

In the southern Pacific coast of Chiapas, Mexico (SM), the two most abundant vector species, and , were susceptible to different Pvs25/28 haplotypes. To broaden our understanding of the existing in the area, genes encoding proteins relevant for ookinete development and the 18S rRNA were studied. infectivity (percentage of infected mosquitoes and oocyst numbers) was evaluated by simultaneously feeding infected blood samples from patients to and female mosquitoes.
