Signaling between mammalian adiponectin and a mosquito adiponectin receptor reduces Plasmodium transmission

ABSTRACTWhen a female mosquito engorges on a mammalian host, components of the blood meal can affect mosquito fitness and indirectly influence pathogen infectivity. We demonstrate that mammalian adiponectin, ingested during Anopheles gambiae blood feeding, co-localizes within mosquito midguts and de...
