Distribution of Anopheles gambiae thioester-containing protein 1 alleles along malaria transmission gradients in The Gambia

Abstract Background Thioester-containing protein 1 (TEP1) is a highly polymorphic gene playing an important role in mosquito immunity to parasite development and associated with Anopheles gambiae vectorial competence. Allelic variations in TEP1 could render mosquito either susceptible or resistant t...
