摘要
ABSTRACT. The effect of mouse anti‐mosquito antibodies, present in the bloodmeal, on the infectivity of Plasmodium berghei Vincke to Anopheles farauti Laveran was investigated. Significantly fewer oocysts developed in mosquitoes feeding on mice immunized with sugar‐fed mosquito midgut antigens than in mosquitoes feeding on control mice. Mosquitoes feeding on mice immunized with the midgut antigens derived from sugar‐fed mosquitoes also showed reduced mortality and had lower infection rates than those fed on unimmunized mice. Blood‐fed midgut antigen was less effective in producing these effects than sugar‐fed midgut antigen. Copyright © 1990, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
