    Abstract: <I>Anopheles anthropophagus </I>is an important mosquito vector transmitting malaria and <I>Brugia malayi</I>. Due to differences in feeding behaviors between the female and male adult<I> An. anthropophagus</I>, female <I>An. anthropophagus </I>plays a more important role in transmitting pathogens than male ones. The present study identified a gene specifically expressed in female <I>An. anthropophagus </I>from a subtractive cDNA library for female <I>An. anthropophagus</I> and its full-length cDNA was amplified by 3' and 5' Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends (RACE) technique. This gene was named fsyz and further analyzed by using Northern blot and bio-informatics analyses. It was shown that the fsyz could encode a D7 related salivary protein and was female-specifically expressed and not characterized previously worth further studies.
