“…Together, these observations trace the emergence along the mosquito phylogeny and coevolutionary dynamics of important reproductive genes and traits that may be linked to differences in disease-vector capacity observed today. However, examining a larger set of mosquito species (three Nyssorhynchus, five Anopheles, and eight Cellia) suggested that sexually transferred steroids and their effects on female behaviour did not correlate with the transmission of malaria parasites [104]. Recent largerscale mozomics functional assays are also starting to exploit the available genomes and their annotations to bring an evolutionary perspective to interpreting transcriptomics results from more than a single species, for example, in the context of sex-and tissue-biased gene expression in anophelines [17,18] and culicines [105].…”
