Phylogenetic analysis of members of theα-CA family from the Homo sapiens , Drosophila melanogaster , Aedes aegypti and An. gambiae genomes shows a clustering of the novel CA with Homo...

... acidic or alkaline conditions, but mosquitoes appear to be the most proficient pH regulators yet described. Aedes aegypti and O. taeniorhynchus are unusual in their ability to survive and develop in waters ranging from pH 4 to 11. They regulate hemolymph pH quite well over this pH range. Even more...
