Blood Meal-Derived Heme Decreases ROS Levels in the Midgut of <em>Aedes aegypti</em> and Allows Proliferation of Intestinal Microbiota by Jose Henrique M. Oliveira (150471)

“…As heme is a pro-oxidant molecule released in large amounts upon hemoglobin degradation, oxidative killing of bacteria in the gut would represent a burden to the insect, thereby creating an extra oxidative challenge to the mosquito. We propose that a controlled decrease in ROS levels in the midgut of <em>Aedes aegypti</em> is an adaptation to compensate for the ingestion of heme.…”
