Phenylalanine metabolism regulates reproduction and parasite melanization in the malaria mosquito.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Fuchs Silke, Behrends Volker, Bundy Jacob G, Crisanti Andrea, Nolan Tony

Abstract excerpt

The blood meal of the female malaria mosquito is a pre-requisite to egg production and also represents the transmission route for the malaria parasite. The proper and rapid assimilation of proteins and nutrients in the blood meal creates a significant metabolic challenge for the mosquito. To better understand this process we generated a global profile of metabolite changes in response to blood meal of Anopheles...
