The way in which vectors distribute themselves amongst their hosts has important
epidemiological consequences. While the role played by active host choice is largely …

Associative learning has been shown in a variety of insects, including the mosquitoes Culex
quinquefasciatus and Anopheles gambiae. This study demonstrates associative learning for …

In spite of the mosquito Aedes aegypti being a vector of several infectious diseases, a
limited number of studies has been undertaken on learning in this species. Moreover, larval …

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

Mosquito larvae display a stereotyped escape response when they rest attached to the
water surface. It consists in detaching from the surface and diving, to return to the surface …

The identification of memory and learning in medically important mosquito species has been
of epidemiological interest mainly because of the implications of learning on the pattern of …

Oviposition site choice by female mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti (L)(Diptera: Culicidae), was
affected by rearing them in water treated with 0.016% of the repellent Mozaway™ containing …

The ability to learn plays a key role in tuning and adapting the behaviours of animals for their
unpredictable biotopes. This also applies to insect vectors of disease. Anautogenous …

Transmission of vector-borne pathogens is dependent on the host-seeking behaviour of
their vector. Pathogen manipulation of the host-seeking behaviour of vectors towards …

How mosquitoes determine which individuals to bite has important epidemiological
consequences. This choice is not random; most mosquitoes specialize in one or a few …
