Comparison of male reproductive success in malaria-refractory and susceptible strains of Anopheles gambiae
BACKGROUND: In female mosquitoes that transmit malaria, the benefits of being refractory to the Plasmodium parasite are balanced by the immunity costs in the absence of infection. Male mosquitoes, however, gain no advantage from being refractory to blood-transmitted parasites, so that any costs asso...
