Blood feeding and Plasmodium infection alters the miRNome of Anopheles stephensi.

Blood feeding is an integral process required for physiological functions and propagation of the malaria vector Anopheles. During blood feeding, presence of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium in the blood induces several host effector molecules including microRNAs which play important roles in the dev...
