Fitness consequences of altered feeding behavior in immune-challenged mosquitoes
BACKGROUND: Malaria-infected mosquitoes have been reported to be more likely to take a blood meal when parasites are infectious than when non-infectious. This change in feeding behavior increases the likelihood of malaria transmission, and has been considered an example of parasite manipulation of h...
