title: [Research Progress on the Molecular Mechanisms of Mosquito Innate Immunity].
abstract: As the important vector of the mosquito-borne diseases, mosquitos rely on their innate immune system against pathogens infection, which includes cellular immunity and humoral immunity. Both of them are interacted and coordinated, via the pattern recognition receptors, immune signaling, antimicrobial peptides, phenoloxidase-based melanization, phagocytosis, and so on. This paper reviews the research progress on the molecular mechanisms of mosquito innate immunity.
