(Submitter supplied) Aedes aegypti mosquito, vector for several viral diseases, undergoes significant physiological changes after a blood meal. Through single-cell RNA sequencing and metabolomics, we unveiled dynamic cellular composition and metabolic adaptations within abdominal midgut and fat body tissues. We revealed high cell diversity, specialized in digestion, metabolism, immunity, and reproduction. While the midgut primarily comprises enterocytes, enteroendocrine, cardia and intestinal stem cells, the fat body consists of not only trophocytes and oenocytes, but also a substantial population of hemocytes and fat body-yolk cells (FYC).
