A heavy legacy: offspring of malaria-infected mosquitoes show reduced disease resistance

20 Nov 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Trans-generational effects of immune stimulation may have either adaptive (trans-generational immune priming) or non-adaptive (fitness costs) effects on offspring ability to fight pathogens. METHODS: Anopheles coluzzii and its natural malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum were used to test how maternal parasite infection affected offspring resistance to the same parasite species. RESULTS: Daughters...
