A mating-induced reproductive gene promotes <i>Anopheles</i> tolerance to <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> infection

2020-08-21

Abstract excerpt

Anopheles mosquitoes have transmitted Plasmodium parasites for millions of years, yet it remains unclear whether they suffer fitness costs to infection. Here we report that the fecundity of virgin and mated females of two important vectors— Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles stephensi —is not affected by infection with Plasmodium falciparum , demonstrating that these human malaria parasites do not inflict reprodu...
