<i>Plasmodium</i>-Induced Nitrosative Stress in <i>Anopheles stephensi</i>: The Cost of Host Defense

Both vertebrates and anopheline mosquitoes inhibit <i>Plasmodium</i> spp. (malaria parasite) development via induction of nitric oxide (â ¢NO) synthase. Expression of <i>Anopheles stephensi</i> â ¢NO synthase (<i>AsNOS</i>) is induced in the midgut epithelium begi...
