The effects of infection with <i>Plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis</i> on the reproductive fitness of the mosquito <i>Anopheles gambiae</i>

1999-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Summary Malaria parasites are known to affect the fecundity of several species of mosquitoes but the effect of the parasite on the next generation of the vector had not been investigated. Here we report the results of a laboratory study designed to determine the effects of a rodent malaria parasite, Plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis, on the reproductive fitness of females feeding on an infected blood meal. Female Anop...
