Anopheline mosquitoes are the sole vectors for the Plasmodium pathogens responsible for
malaria, which is among the oldest and most devastating of human diseases. The continuing …

Background Plasmodium infection has been shown to compromise the fitness of the
mosquito vector, reducing its fecundity and longevity. However, from an evolutionary …

BACKGROUND: Understanding the tissue-specific molecular cross-talk mechanism during
the mosquito–parasite interaction is of prime importance in the design of new strategies for …

Background Malaria is a devastating infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites
transmitted through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Salivary glands are the only …

Multiple complex interactions take place between the three organisms involved in malaria
transmission: Plasmodium, Anopheles and the human host. The mosquito salivary glands …

Recently, we showed how an early restriction of gut flora proliferation by Plasmodium vivax
favors immune-suppression and Plasmodium survival in the gut lumen (Sharma et al …

Invasion of the vector salivary glands by Plasmodium is a critical step for malaria
transmission. To describe salivary gland cellular responses to sporozoite invasion, we have …

Abstract Background Human Malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles.
Transmission is a complex phenomenon involving biological and environmental factors of …

Background Elimination of malaria depends on mastering transmission and understanding
the biological basis of Plasmodium infection in the vector. The first mosquito organ to interact …

Anopheles female mosquitoes can transmit Plasmodium, the malaria parasite. During their
aquatic life, wild Anopheles mosquito larvae are exposed to a huge diversity of microbes …
