From: Role of NF-kβ factor Rel2 during Plasmodium falciparum and bacterial infection in Anopheles dirus
Anopheles dirus utilizes Rel2 against cultured Plasmodium falciparum. Silencing of the Rel2 gene showed significantly higher infection prevalence in An. dirus fed on cultured P. falciparum gametocytes. The dsLacZ-treatedted control had an infection prevalence of 21.4 % whereas the dsRel2 injection in the mosquitoes resulted in a significantly higher prevalence of 37.2 % (χ 2 = 5.39, df = 1, P = 0.020)
