An epithelial serine protease, AgESP, is required for Plasmodium invasion in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae. by Janneth Rodrigues, Giselle A Oliveira, Michalis Kotsyfakis, Rajnikant Dixit, Alvaro Molina-Cruz, Ryan Jochim, Carolina Barillas-Mury

“…However, our understanding of the molecular mechanism and the mosquito genes that participate in this process is still very limited.We identified an Anopheles gambiae epithelial serine protease (AgESP) that is constitutively expressed in the submicrovillar region of mosquito midgut epithelial cells and in the basal side of the salivary glands that is critical for Plasmodium parasites to cross these two epithelial barriers. …”

Species-Specific Serological Detection for Schistosomiasis by Serine Protease Inhibitor (SERPIN) in Multiplex Assay. by Chihiro Tanigawa, Yoshito Fujii, Masashi Miura, Samson Muuo Nzou, Anne Wanjiru Mwangi, Sachiyo Nagi, Shinjiro Hamano, Sammy M Njenga, Evaristus Chibunna Mbanefo, Kenji Hirayama, Matilu Mwau, Satoshi Kaneko

“…We assessed the diagnostic value of selected Schistosoma antigens for the development of a multiplex serological immunoassay for sero-epidemiological surveillance.Diagnostic ability of recombinant antigens from S. mansoni and S. haematobium was assessed by Luminex multiplex immunoassay using plasma from school children in two areas of Kenya, endemic for different species of schistosomiasis. S. mansoni serine protease inhibitor (SERPIN) and Sm-RP26 showed significantly higher reactivity to patient plasma as compared to the control group. …”
