Immune response and insulin signalling alter mosquito feeding behaviour to enhance malaria transmission potential
Malaria parasites alter mosquito feeding behaviour in a way that enhances parasite transmission. This is widely considered a prime example of manipulation of host behaviour to increase onward transmission, but transient immune challenge in the absence of parasites can induce the same behavioural phe...
