Pantothenate regulates feeding and reproduction in the malaria vector Anopheles stephensi, with patterns dependent on supplementation scheme and parental nutrition
Our work establishes the importance of Pan in A. stephensi reproduction and provides a foundation for investigating the transgenerational effects of Pan and CoA on mosquito physiology. These observations suggest that targeting Pan-CoA biology in Anopheles spp. could provide opportunities for novel mosquito control strategies.
