Functional and phenotypic characterization of the stearoyl CoA desaturase gene of Anopheles coluzzii

2016-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites that are transmitted by the bite of female Anopheles mosquitoes. Successful acquisition and transmission of malaria parasites requires a female mosquito obtaining a blood meal from human hosts. The blood meal, which is rich in protein, is required for egg development. Most of the ingested protein is converted to lipid and stored in the fat body where...
