Fibrinopeptide A-induced Blood-Feeding Arrest in the Yellow Fever Mosquito Aedes Aegypti.
Cell Reports(2024)
摘要
Female mosquitoes engage in blood feeding from their hosts to facilitate egg maturation but cease feeding once a sufficient blood meal has been acquired. Abdominal distention has been proposed as a contributing factor; however, it has also been suggested that there are chemical controls. In this study, we focus on negative chemical regulators of blood feeding, particularly those present in the host blood. Serum derived from animal blood inhibits the feeding of ATP, a phagostimulant of blood feeding in Aedes aegypti. Fibrinopeptide A (FPA), a 16-amino acid peptide cleaved from fibrinogen during blood coagulation, serves as an inhibitory factor in the serum. Our findings suggest that blood-feeding arrest in female mosquitoes is triggered by the detection of FPA in the host blood, which increases as blood coagulation proceeds in the mosquito's midgut, highlighting the role of host-derived substances as negative regulators of mosquito behavior.
