Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aims to reduce the number of blood feeding mosquitoes for vector control. First, we elucidate the mechanism of host seeking activity by adult female of Aedes albopictus and we confirmed that not only dopamine but also octopamine control the host seeking activity. Subsequently, it was shown that adults mosquitoes strongly expressed digestive enzymes such as trypsin and protein expression profile of adult was different from that of larvae and pupa. Moreover, we confirm that many unknown functions genes are expressed.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果から、ドパミンやオクトパミンなどの生体アミンによって蚊に特徴的な宿主探索行動が制御されることが初めて明らかにされ、蚊の吸血行動のメカニズムの一端が解明されたことが本研究の学術的意義である。また、他の生物種と相同性の低いヒトスジマカ由来の未知のタンパク質の存在も確認されたことは、蚊に特異的な薬剤の開発にもつながり、媒介蚊対策への貢献を考慮すると社会的意義も高い。
