A dynamic paracellular pathway serves diuresis in mosquito Malpighian (renal) tubules
Female mosquitoes gorge on vertebrate blood, a rich nutrient source for developing eggs. But gorging meals increase the risk of predation. Mosquitoes are quick to reduce the flight payload with a potent diuresis. Diuretic peptides of the insect kinin family induce a tenfold-reduction in the paracell...
