Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed | Cited on BioMed Central |  Editor’s summary

The soluble glutathione transferases (GSTs) are a large, conserved family of proteins that use the tripeptide glutathione as a cosubstrate or coenzyme. They are predominantly expressed in the cytosol and have a range of catalytic and non-catalytic functions, including detoxification of herbicides and protection from oxidative stress, and have been implicated in other cellular processes.

A new tent trap for sampling exophagic and endophagic members of the Anopheles gambiae complex

Nicodemus J Govella, Prosper P Chaki, Yvonne Geissbuhler, Khadija Kannady, Fredros Okumu, J Derek Charlwood, Robert A Anderson, Gerry F Killeen Malaria Journal 2009, 8:157 (14 July 2009)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed | Cited on BioMed Central |  Editor’s summary

There have been numerous malaria studies published, which mostly depend on human landing catch or CDC-LT collections, but only few studies have looked at alternative sampling tools, which are needed in resource-poor areas where even batteries are often not available. A tent trap requires only one human person sleeping in it, while all mosquito sampling tools to-date depend on human (volatiles), which vary significantly and hence, sampling is strongly dependent on the odour characteristics of the human host.
