Mosquitoes use plant sugars and vertebrate blood as nutritional resources. When searching
for blood hosts, some mosquitoes express preferential behavior for selected species. Here …

Among animal viruses, arboviruses are unique in that they depend on arthropod vectors for
transmission. Field research and laboratory investigations related to the three components …

Os triatomíneos são insetos hematófagos de grande importância médica, pois são os
responsáveis pela transmissão do Trypanosoma cruzi, o agente etiológico da doença de …

DEET (N, N-Diethyl-m-toluamide) is one of the most widely used mosquito repellents.
Although DEET has been shown to be extremely effective, recent studies have revealed that …

Many arthropod species have adopted vertebrate blood as their main food source. Blood is
rich in nutrients and, except for the presence of parasites, sterile. However, this food source …

Mosquito host utilization is a key factor in the transmission of vector‐borne pathogens given
that it greatly influences host–vector contact rates. Blood‐feeding patterns of mosquitoes are …

Olfactory learning in blood-feeding insects, such as mosquitoes, could play an important role
in host preference and disease transmission. However, standardised protocols allowing …

To enable a better understanding of the overwhelming alterations in the invasive mosquito
species (IMS), methodical insight into the population and environmental factors that govern …

A common problem for organisms is the localization, in space and time, of the resources
necessary for survival using information from the environment. Haematophagous insects …

Learning and memory plays an important role in host preference and parasite transmission
by disease vector insects. Historically there has been a dearth of standardized protocols that …
