Abstract
Female anopheline mosquito reproduction is intimately linked to the Plasmodium sporogonic cycle, whereby malaria parasites ostensibly compete for the same resources required for mosquito egg development. However, in a recent study, Werling and colleagues (Cell 2019;177:315-325) uncovered a parasitic strategy supporting coexistence, exploiting mosquito nutrients without affecting mosquito fitness and reproductivity.
