Blood-feeding induces reversible functional changes in flight muscle mitochondria of Aedes aegypti mosquito.

Blood-feeding induces reversible functional changes in flight muscle mitochondria of Aedes aegypti mosquito.

BACKGROUND: Hematophagy poses a challenge to blood-feeding organisms since products of blood digestion can exert cellular deleterious effects. Mitochondria perform multiple roles in cell biology acting as the site of aerobic energy-transducing pathways, and also an important source of reactive oxyge...
