Mosquito ageing modulates the development, virulence and transmission potential of pathogens
3 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
Host age variation is a striking source of heterogeneity that can shape the evolution and transmission dynamic of pathogens. Compared with vertebrate systems, our understanding of the impact of host age on invertebrate–pathogen interactions remains limited. We examined the influence of mosquito age on key life-history traits driving human malaria transmission. Females of Anopheles coluzzii , a major malaria...
