Two avian <i>Plasmodium</i> species trigger different transcriptional responses on their vector <i>Culex pipiens</i>

Abstract excerpt

Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by protozoans of the genus Plasmodium that affects both humans and wildlife. The fitness consequences of infections by avian malaria are well known in birds, however, little information exists on its impact on mosquitoes. Here we study how Culex pipiens mosquitoes transcriptionally respond to infection by two different Plasmodium species, P. relictum and P. cathemeri...
