SLC44A4 and infection: It is well documented that An. gambiae mosquitoes have a different transcriptional response to infection with P. berghei and P. falciparum [4,5] and genes such as LRIM1 and C-type lectin 4 (CTL4) [2], which limit or enhance P. berghei infection, respectively, do not affect P. falciparum infection in An. gambiae [6].
