Metabolic reprogramming and gut microbiota ecology drive divergent Plasmodium vivax infection outcomes in Anopheles darlingi

Bianca Cechetto Carlos, Kamila Voges, Pedro Henrique de Andrade Affonso…·George K. Christophides

The paper investigates how metabolic reprogramming and gut microbiota ecology in Anopheles darlingi influence Plasmodium vivax infection outcomes, identifying distinct physiological and microbial responses associated with resistance or susceptibility.

REL2 overexpression in the Anopheles gambiae midgut causes major transcriptional changes but fails to induce an immune response

Astrid Hoermann, Paolo Capriotti, Giuseppe Del Corsano…·George K. Christophides

This study overexpresses REL2 in Anopheles gambiae midgut and finds it causes transcriptional changes but does not induce a strong immune response against Plasmodium falciparum.
