Genes whose promoters and 5′- and 3′ end DNA sequences are used in genetic engineering of mosquitoes. The promoters and control DNA of a number of genes have been used to drive expression of genetic components or effector molecules in different tissues of the mosquito. Details and references on the promoters listed are included in the text. Abbreviations: aapp, anopheline antiplatelet gene; Aper1, adult peritrophic matrix gene; Apy, apyrase; Cp, zinc carboxypeptidase A1; D7r, D7-related gene; Hsp70, heat-shock protein 70.
