Background In a recent study using DNA barcoding, we identified the plants fed upon by four
Afro-tropical mosquito species that vector dengue, malaria, and Rift Valley fever. Herein, we …

Background Sugar-feeding behaviour is essential for mosquito survival and reproduction,
and has been exploited to develop new control strategies, such as the attractive targeted …

The effect of larval and adult nutrition on survival and fecundity of the dengue vector Aedes
albopictus Skuse (Diptera: Culicidae) were studied under laboratory conditions, the energy …

Background The high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in low-and middle-income
countries is linked to an increase in Western diet consumption, characterized by a high …

Background The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, is the principal vector of medically-
important infectious viruses that cause severe illness such as dengue fever, yellow fever and …

The environmental conditions experienced by parents can influence offspring phenotype
along with the conditions experienced by offspring. These parental effects are clear in …

Background. Nutritional level in larval diet of mosquito vectors influence on life history traits
and vectorial capacity (VC). Therefore, the present study was carried out to assess the effect …

Background Aedes aegypti is the main vector of dengue, a disease that is increasing its
geographical range as well as incidence rates. Despite its public health importance, the …

Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii mosquitoes, two major malaria vectors in sub‐
Saharan Africa, exhibit selectivity among plant species as potential food sources. However …

A fundamental understanding of plant sugar feeding behaviour in vector populations can
lead to the development of ecologically effective vector monitoring and control strategies …
