Objectives
*Original title and text were machine translated from Japanese.
In this study, susceptible mosquitoes created previously will be used to analyze changes in the number of malaria parasites, changes in malaria parasite stages, and changes in mosquito metabolism and immune response for each individual using microscopic observation and genetic analysis techniques.
Malaria parasites are transmitted by mosquitoes, and it is known that the number of parasites transmitted by each mosquito varies. In previous research, “susceptible mosquitoes” were created that differ greatly in the number of malaria parasites they harbor among individuals, despite being closely related genetically. This research will reveal the molecules that determine the number of malaria parasites carried by mosquitoes.
