Anopheles gambiae Actively Metabolizes Uric Acid Following Plasmodium Infection to Limit Malaria Parasite Survival
Characterizing the physiological changes that accompany malaria parasite infection of the mosquito host is crucial to our understanding of vectorial capacity in Anopheles mosquitoes, yet has not fully been explored. In this study, we examine the role of uric acid metabolism in the mosquito, Anophele...
