Abstract: On the basis of the research on interaction between plasmodium and mosquito vector, the mechanism of innate immune defense responses in anopheline mosquitoes against plasmodium infection has been studied. The innate immune defense may be applied to confine and kill malaria parasites under migration and development, and contribute to an effective control strategy on malaria vectors.

Key words: Plasmodium, Anopheline mosquito, Innate immune defense
