A key malaria metabolite modulates vector blood seeking, feeding, and susceptibility to infection

9 Feb 2017

Abstract excerpt

Siren molecule calls loudly to mosquitoes People infected by malaria become more attractive to the mosquito vectors of the disease, which facilitates the spread of malaria. Emami et al. found that red blood cells of the host respond to a parasite-derived isoprenoid called HMBPP by increasing the production of carbon dioxide and several monoterpenes and aldehydes. Mosquitoes fed HMBPP-spiked blood displayed...
