| Research Abstract |
The host -parasite relationship in vector mosquito, Aedes, and Filaria parasite was analyzed. Our data indicated that the mosquito innate immune systems were not significantly affect filarial infection to mosquito vector. This result suggested the presence of completely different anti-pathogen system against filarial parasite compare to small pathogens such as protozoa, bacteria or virus. The molting related genes of filarial parasite were considered as have a key role for host transition. Especially, cut1 gene transcripts were specifically detected in host transition stage. This result indicated that cut1 could be a useful drug target for establishing novel filarial parasite infection controlling strategy.
