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 …

The time it takes for malaria parasites to develop within a mosquito, and become
transmissible, is known as the extrinsic incubation period, or EIP. EIP is a key parameter …

Malaria transmission is known to be strongly impacted by temperature. The current
understanding of how temperature affects mosquito and parasite life history traits derives …

Conditions experienced during larval development of holometabolous insects can affect
adult traits, but whether differences in the bacterial communities of larval development sites …

Most statistical and mechanistic models used to predict mosquito-borne disease
transmission incorporate climate drivers of disease transmission by utilizing environmental …

Several studies suggest the potential for climate change to increase malaria incidence in
cooler, marginal transmission environments. However, the effect of increasing temperature …

Adult traits of holometabolous insects are shaped by conditions experienced during larval
development, which might impact interactions between adult insect hosts and parasites …

Background Malaria remains a significant public health issue in South America. Future
climate change may influence the distribution of the disease, which is dependent on the …

Background Ectotherms, like mosquitoes, have evolved specific responses to variation in
environmental conditions like temperature, and these responses could confer a fitness …

The environment, directly and indirectly, affects many mosquito traits in both the larval and
adult stages. The availability of food resources is one of the key factors influencing these …
