Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species modulate mosquito susceptibility to Plasmodium infection.

Mitochondria perform multiple roles in cell biology, acting as the site of aerobic energy-transducing pathways and as an important source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that modulate redox metabolism.We demonstrate that a novel member of the mitochondrial transporter protein family, Anopheles gamb...
