Adult female Aedes aegypti (L.), the vector of dengue and yellow fever viruses, have an
affinity for feeding on human blood and a tendency to forego feeding on sugar. This …

Daily survivorship and fecundity of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were monitored for cohorts
provided with five nutritional treatments: water, 2% sucrose, blood from a live chicken plus …

Mortality is a critical factor in determining a mosquito's ability to transmit pathogens. We
investigated the effect of human blood feeding and reproduction on mortality of the dengue …

Abstract Background The invasive mosquito Aedes albopictus is often considered a poor
vector of human pathogens, owing to its catholic feeding behavior. However, it was recently …

Life table studies were performed in 1996 with Aedes aegypti (L.) during the low (cool/dry)
and high (hot/rainy) dengue virus transmission seasons in Puerto Rico. Mated adult females …

Aspiration collections of adult Aedes aegypti (L.) were made weekly from inside and outside
of houses for 3 yr in a rural Thai village (n= 9,637 females and n= 11,988 males) and for 2 yr …

Female Aedes aegypti (L.) of two different body sizes and provided with different diets (20%
sucrose, water only, or 20% sucrose+ human blood) were marked and released together in …

Anthropophilic mosquitoes such as Aedes aegypti L.(Diptera: Culicidae) have been shown
to have superior reproductive success on human blood when sugar is not available. Life …

Literature on arthropod-borne diseases has traditionally supported the notion that mosquito
vectors maintain a feeding duality that includes vertebrate blood meals for egg development …

We used a histologic technique to study multiple blood feeding in a single gonotrophic cycle
by engorged Aedes aegypti (L.) that were collected weekly for 2 yr from houses in a rural …
