The midgut epithelium of mosquitoes adjusts cell proliferation and endoreplication to respond to physiological challenges
29 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hematophagous mosquitoes transmit many pathogens that cause human diseases. Pathogen acquisition and transmission occur when female mosquitoes blood feed to acquire nutrients for reproduction. The midgut epithelium of mosquitoes serves as the point of entry for transmissible viruses and parasites. RESULTS: We studied midgut epithelial dynamics in five major mosquito vector species by quantifying...
