Identifikasi Protein Imunogenik Kelenjar Saliva Vektor Malaria Anopheles vagus Berdasarkan Analisis Mass Spectrometry (dentification of Immmunogenic Salivary Proteins of Anopheles vagus based on Mass Spectrometry Analysis)

Abstract

Malaria has been prevalent for a long time in tropical developing regions causi ng great morbidity and mortality. Among the malaria vectors, Anopheles vagus has been known as secondary malaria vector in East Java. Salivary glands of mosquitoes perform various functions for survival of the vectors and also conducive for blood feeding, harbouring of malaria parasites, and eventual parasite transmission. The salivary gland proteomes of An. vagus have not been carried out yet. The aim of our study was to identify and characterize the immunogenic proteins of salivary glands proteins of An. vagus.
