Existing Infection Facilitates Establishment and Density of Malaria Parasites in Their Mosquito Vector
Very little is known about how vector-borne pathogens interact within their vector and how this impacts transmission. Here we show that mosquitoes can accumulate mixed strain malaria infections after feeding on multiple hosts. We found that parasites have a greater chance of establishing and reach h...
