Fig. 6From: Gut microbiota is essential in PGRP-LA regulated immune protection against Plasmodium berghei infectionModel of influence of PGRP-LA in An. stephensi. PGRP-LA is enriched in midgut in response to the proliferation of gut microbiota. It protects Anopheles from Plasmodium infection through initiating the synthesis of downstream immune effectors, including AMPs, NOS and TEP1. Such regulation requires the presence of gut microbiotaBack to article page
