🦟🍄 Can fungi STDs kill mosquitos

A new study shows transgenic mosquito-killing fungi can spread during mating – turning mosquitoes into agents of their own destruction.

I was somewhat surprised to find this female “malaria mosquito,” Anopheles sp., sitting on our backyard fence yesterday. Leavenworth, Kansas, USA. #bugsky #mosquito #fly #insects #vectorcontrol #mosquitoes
Female Anopheles mosquito, with long, slender legs, spotted wings folded over her back. Brown thorax, head with long proboscis and palps directed forward. Insect is sitting on algae-stained wooden fence.

New review alert-Mosquito saliva does more than just help them feed—it also influences blood responses in the midgut, enhancing Plasmodium transmission. Could targeting saliva proteins be the key to blocking disease spread? #Malaria #Mosquito #VectorControl

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Mosquito responses to modulate the host's blood humoral and cellular responses in the mosquito midgut. After blood ingestion, the human hemostatic and immune responses in the blood bolus remain active. Mosquitoes employ both early and late strategies to counter these host responses and protect the midgut epithelium: 1. Early responses – Mosquito ingests saliva containing bioactive proteins, such as apyrase and AAPP, that inhibit platelet aggregation, NETosis, and other host hemostatic and immune activities. 2. Late responses - The formation of the peritrophic matrix shields the midgut epithelium from microbes, free heme, and other toxic blood components. Additionally, the ingested blood stimulates gene expression, activating pathways for nutrient uptake, metabolic adaptation, and immune defense.
