  • Chapter
Genome Mapping and Genomics in Arthropods

Part of the book series: Genome Mapping Genomics Animals ((MAPPANIMAL,volume 1))

Abstract

Mosquitoes have a significant global impact on human health, yet only a small number of the approximately 3,500 species are competent vectors for transmitting diseases. This has driven interest in employing genetic tools to increase our understanding of mosquito/pathogen interactions, as this may lead to novel control strategies for mosquito-borne diseases. Here I provide an overview of genetic and physical mapping efforts for mosquitoes, with an emphasis on two major vector species: Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever and dengue fever vector, and Anopheles gambiae, the primary vector for malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, both species have been subjected to whole-genome shotgun sequencing efforts. Genome information for these and for ongoing mosquito genome projects is available through VectorBase (http://www.vectorbase.org), a web-based repository for information on invertebrate vectors.
