Host 5-HT affects <i>Plasmodium</i> transmission in mosquitoes via modulating mosquito mitochondrial homeostasis

2024-02-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Malaria parasites hijack the metabolism of their mammalian host during the blood-stage cycle. Anopheles mosquitoes depend on mammalian blood to survive and to transmit malaria parasites. However, it remains understudied whether changes in host metabolism affect parasite transmission in mosquitoes. In this study, we discovered that Plasmodium infection significantly decreased the levels of the t...
