Expression of fatty acid synthase genes and their role in development and arboviral infection of Aedes aegypti

Abstract Background Fatty acids are the building blocks of complex lipids essential for living organisms. In mosquitoes, fatty acids are involved in cell membrane production, energy conservation and expenditure, innate immunity, development and reproduction. Fatty acids are synthesized by a multifun...
