Plasmodium metabolite HMBPP stimulates feeding of main mosquito vectors on blood and artificial toxic sources

Plasmodium metabolite HMBPP stimulates feeding of main mosquito vectors on blood and artificial toxic sources

Viktoria Stromsky and Melika Hajkazemian et al. examine the potential effect of HMPBB, a Plasmodium metabolite, on blood-feeding rates of major vector mosquitoes, like Anopheles gambiae. They report that HMBPP significantly increased blood feeding on all tested mosquito species, and suggest that it...
