Anthropophilic female mosquitoes are well known for their strong attraction to human hosts,
but plant nectar is a common energy source in their diets. When sugar sources are scarce …

Mosquitoes are emerging as model systems with which to study innate behaviours through
neuroethology and functional genomics. Decades of work on these disease vectors have …

Background Current tools and strategies are not sufficient to reliably address threats and
outbreaks of arboviruses including Zika, dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever. Hence …

Heterogeneous exposure to mosquitoes determines an individual's contribution to vector-
borne pathogen transmission. Particularly for dengue virus (DENV), there is a major difficulty …

Effective mosquito surveillance and management depend on a thorough understanding of
the biology and feeding patterns unique to species and sex. Given that a propensity to sugar …

The high vector competence of mosquitoes is intrinsically linked to their reproductive
strategy because females need a vertebrate blood meal to develop large batches of eggs …

Simple Summary With the increasing burden of mosquito-borne diseases around the world
and the traditional control methods showing drawbacks, the sterile insect technique (SIT) is …

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 Human mobility plays a central role in shaping pathogen transmission by
generating spatial and/or individual variability in potential pathogen-transmitting contacts …

Background Studies have shown that human mobility is an important factor in dengue
epidemiology. Changes in mobility resulting from COVID-19 pandemic set up a real-life …
