描述:(由申请人提供):在撒哈拉以南非洲,
疟疾是由于接触传染性蚊子叮咬造成的,特别是
冈比亚按蚊。数量上存在高度异质性
生活在流行地区的人们受到传染性叮咬,
对量化并最终降低传播强度的影响。
我们假设这种异质性是由于成人的聚合生产造成的
来自幼虫栖息地的蚊子,这是产卵地点的函数

英文摘要
DESCRIPTION: (provided by the applicant): In subSaharan Africa, the risk of
malaria is due to exposure to infectious bites of mosquitoes, particularly
Anopheles gambiae. There is a high degree of heterogeneity in the number of
infectious bites that peoplewho live in endemic areas receive, which has
implications for quantifying and ultimately reducing intensity of transmission.
We hypothesize that this heterogeneity is due to aggregated production of adult
mosquitoes from larval habitats, which is a function of oviposition site
selection and larval habitat production. We believe that both of these processes
are mediated by microorganisms that occur in larval habitats. Female mosquitoes
will choose oviposition sites that emit volatile organic compounds(VOCs), which
are generated by microbial metabolism of proteins (to indole and its
derivatives) and humic acids (to phenolics). Secondly, we will quantify
microbial processing of nutrients and accrual of microbial biomass in larval
habitats, and link them to adult production. We believe that
density-dependentlarval competition for nutrient-limited microbial food
resources will limit adult production and will result in emergent females of
variable, suboptimal body masses and nutrient reserves. These factors will in
turn affect population regulatory processes and vectorial capacity attributes
in An. Gambiae populations. Methods will involve spatial quantification of
productive larval habitats in the Asembo Bay study site in western Kenya, a
thoroughly mapped and well studied malaria endemic area. Microbial-mediation of
oviposition site selection will be studied through characterization of the
microbial community and emitted VOCs using GC/MS. GC/MS-electroantennogram
detection of VOCs, and experimental oviposition site selection where microbes
and VOCs are manipulated. Microbial basis for larval habitat production will be
studied with field and lab experiments where nutrient sources and microbial
communities are quantified, manipulated and larval growth responses and adult
production quantified.
