Vector‐borne pathogens and parasites can induce changes in the phenotypes of their hosts
that influence the frequency and nature of host–vector interactions and hence transmission …

Odors emitted by human skin are of great interest to biologists in many fields; applications
range from forensic studies to diagnostic tools, the design of perfumes and deodorants, and …

Previous studies have shown that vector-borne pathogens can alter the phenotypes of their
hosts and vectors in ways that influence the frequency and nature of interactions between …

The evolution of organismality is a social process. All organisms originated from groups of
simpler units that now show high cooperation among the parts and are nearly free of …

The recent development of high‐throughput NGS technologies,(ie, next‐generation
sequencing) has highlighted the complexity of tick microbial communities—which include …

Mosquito blood-feeding behavior is a key determinant of the epidemiology of dengue
viruses (DENV), the most-prevalent mosquito-borne viruses. However, despite its …

Vector-borne pathogens may alter traits of their primary hosts in ways that influence the
frequency and nature of interactions between hosts and vectors. Previous work has reported …

In nature the prevalence of Leishmania infection in whole sand fly populations can be very
low (< 0.1%), even in areas of endemicity and high transmission. It has long since been …

Merging the field of epidemiology with those of evolutionary and behavioural ecology can
generate considerable fundamental knowledge, as well as help to guide public health …

Mosquito-borne diseases are a major burden on human health worldwide and their
eradication through vector control methods remains challenging. In particular, the success of …
