Mating-regulated atrial proteases control reinsemination rates in Anopheles gambiae females
Abstract Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes are the most important vectors of human malaria. The reproductive success of these mosquitoes relies on a single copulation event after which the majority of females become permanently refractory to further mating. This refractory behavior is at least partially...
