  abstract = {{U}nraveling selective forces that shape vector-parasite interactions has critical implications for malaria control. {H}owever, it remains unclear whether {P}lasmodium infection induces a fitness cost to their natural mosquito vectors. {M}oreover, environmental conditions are known to affect infection outcome and may impact the effect of infection on mosquito fitness. {W}e investigated in the laboratory the effects of exposition to and infection by field isolates of {P}lasmodium falciparum on fecundity and survival of a major vector in the field, {A}nopheles coluzzii under different conditions of access to sugar resources after blood feeding. {T}he results evidenced fitness costs induced by exposition and infection. {W}hen sugar was available after blood meal, infected and exposed mosquitoes had either reduced or equal to survival to unexposed mosquitoes while fecundity was either increased or decreased depending on the blood donor. {U}nder strong nutritional stress, survival was reduced for exposed and infected mosquitoes in all assays. {W}e therefore provide here evidence of an environmental-dependant reduced survival in mosquitoes exposed to infection in a natural and one of the most important parasite-mosquito species associations for human malaria transmission.},
