Rodent malaria-resistant strains of the mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, have slower population growth than -susceptible strains.

BMC evolutionary biology - 20 Apr 2009

Voordouw Maarten J, Anholt Bradley R, Taylor Pam J, Hurd Hilary

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Trade-offs between anti-parasite defence mechanisms and other life history traits limit the evolution of host resistance to parasites and have important implications for understanding diseases such as malaria. Mosquitoes have not evolved complete resistance to malaria parasites and one hypothesis is that anti-malaria defence mechanisms are costly. RESULTS: We used matrix population models to compare...
