DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.09.047
Abstract: Globally, diseases transmitted by arthropod vectors, such as mosquitoes, remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality [1]. The defense responses of mosquito and other arthropod vectors against parasites are important for understanding disease transmission… read more here.
