Malaria morbidity and mortality caused by bothPlasmodium falciparumandPlasmodium vivaxextend well beyond the African continent, and althoughP. vivaxcauses between 80 and 300 million severe cases each year, vivax transmission remains poorly understood.Plasmodiumparasites are transmitted byAnophelesmosquitoes, and the critical site of interaction between parasite and host is at the mosquito's luminal midgut brush border. Although the genome of the “model” AfricanP. falciparumvector,Anopheles gambiae, has been sequenced, evolutionary divergence limits its utility as a reference across anophelines, especially non-sequencedP. vivaxvectors such asAnopheles albimanus. Clearly, technologies and platforms that bridge this substantial scientific gap are required in order to provide public health scientists with key transcriptomic and proteomic information that could spur the development of novel interventions to combat this disease. To our knowledge, no approaches have been published that address this issue. To bolster our understanding ofP. vivax–An. albimanusmidgut interactions, we developed an integrated bioinformatic-hybrid RNA-Seq-LC-MS/MS approach involvingAn. albimanustranscriptome (15,764 contigs) and luminal midgut subproteome (9,445 proteins) assembly, which, when used with our custom Diptera protein database (685,078 sequences), facilitated a comparative proteomic analysis of the midgut brush borders of two important malaria vectors,An. gambiaeandAn. albimanus.
