From: Abscisic acid induces a transient shift in signaling that enhances NF-κB-mediated parasite killing in the midgut of Anopheles stephensi without reducing lifespan or fecundity

ABA supplementation did not alter A. stephensi lifespan in the context of nutrient stress or Plasmodium falciparum infection. a Survival curves are shown for mosquitoes provided weekly control or ABA-supplemented uninfected blood meals and maintained on 3% sucrose solution (n = 300 mosquitoes per control and ABA treatment groups). b Survival curves are shown for P. falciparum-infected mosquitoes provided control or ABA-supplemented weekly blood meals (n = 100 mosquitoes per control and ABA treatment groups). Infection status was confirmed by detection of Pfcox1 in individual mosquitoes by qRT-PCR. Data were analyzed by log-rank test and Gehan-Breslow-Wilcoxon test
