As expected, some of those were immune genes, the common responsors to infection. But the virus also truned on genes involved in odour detection and blood feeding.

Previous studies have shown malaria 5 parasites 6 can change mosquitoes' behavior too, by making it more likely to feed on multiple victims, thus infecting more people. And researchers say we humans may also do the biding 7 of these passengers, when infected, we sweat, and the odour attracts other mosquitoes that feed on us and pick up hit tracking passengers for their next ride.
