Effect of adult nutrition on the melanization immune response of the malaria vector <i>Anopheles stephensi</i>

1 Sept 2002

Abstract excerpt

Two dietary resources - blood and sugar - were assessed for effects on the melanization immune response of the mosquito Anopheles stephensi Liston (Diptera: Culicidae) towards inoculated Sephadex beads (negatively charged C-25). This melanization is conferred by genetic factors capable of making the mosquito refractory to malaria parasites. If An. stephensi females had obtained a bloodmeal one day before...
