Human blood microRNAs and their potential effect on mosquitoes

ABSTRACT: Blood is a rich source of proteins for mosquitoes, but also contains many other molecules such as microRNAs (miRNAs). Here, we found that human blood miRNAs are transported in abundance into the fat body tissue of Aedes aegypti, a key metabolic center in post-blood feeding reproductive events, where they target and regulate mosquito genes.
