This study was designed to determine if infection of Aedes aegypti with dengue-2 virus
affects the ability of the mosquito to efficiently locate and imbibe blood from an uninfected …

This study was designed to determine if transmission rates for dengue-2 virus by Aedes
aegypti are altered by mosquitos probing a host for blood or imbibing blood prior to …

In addition to heavily infecting the salivary glands of Aedes aegypti (L.) mosquitoes, dengue
viruses produce a significant infection of the nervous system, involving the brain, Johnston's …

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 …

The size of arthropod vectors may affect their ability to transmit pathogens. Here we test the
hypothesis that body size alters the susceptibility of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus …

Male Aedes albopictus experimentally infected with dengue virus types 1, 2, 3, or 4
transmitted their infection sexually to female Ae. albopictus. Such transmission was …

Differences in larval habitats cause variation in the size of Aedes aegypti (L.) adults. We
suspected that such size variation was related to the ease with which the mosquitoes could …

The effect of ingested blood on the host-seeking response of two strains of Aedes aegypti
was examined. Using an olfactometer, females fed partial blood meals were scored for host …

Host blood source was found to affect both the fecundity and the duration of te gonotrophic
cycle of Aedes triseriatus. Mosquitoes were fed on restrained deer, chipmunks, squirrels …

The effect of temperature on the ability of Aedes aegypti to transmit dengue (DEN) 2 virus to
rhesus monkeys was assessed as a possible explanation for the seasonal variation in the …
