[Soluble protein and esterase isozyme analysis of adult female Anopheles stephensi after Plasmodium yoelii yoelii-infected blood meal].
In this paper, the system of Anopheles stephensi and Plasmodium yoelii yoelii was used as animal model. The soluble protein and esterase isozymes of adult female mosquitoes at various times after taking noninfected and plasmodia-infected blood meal were investigated. The result shows that the amount of soluble protein in plasmodia-infected mosquitoes was lower than that in noninfected ones (P less than 0.01); the activity and electrophoretic patterns of EST in infected mosquitoes being also different from those of the noninfected ones.
