Genotype distribution and allele frequency of thioester-containing protein 1(Tep1) and its effect on development of Plasmodium oocyst in populations of Anopheles arabiensis in Ethiopia
The alleles identified in populations of An. arabiensis were TEP1*R1 and TEP1*S1. There was no significant variation in TEP1*R1 allele frequency between the high and low transmission areas. Furthermore, An. arabiensis carrying the TEP1*R1 allele was susceptible to Plasmodium infection. Further studies on vector-parasite interactions, particularly on the TEP1 gene, are required for vector control techniques.
