Vector control and personal protection against anthropophilic mosquitoes mainly rely on the
use of insecticides and repellents. The search for mosquito-attractive semiochemicals has …

The use of semiochemicals in odour-based traps for surveillance and control of vector
mosquitoes is deemed a new and viable component for integrated vector management …

The host-seeking activity of hematophagous arthropods is essential for arboviral
transmission. Here, we demonstrate that mosquito-transmitted flaviviruses can manipulate …

Parasites and infectious diseases are everywhere and represent some of the most potent
forces shaping the natural world. They affect almost every aspect imaginable in the life of …

Malaria parasites (Plasmodium) can change the attractiveness of their vertebrate hosts to
Anopheles vectors, leading to a greater number of vector–host contacts and increased …

Despite the critical role that contact between hosts and vectors, through vector bites, plays in
driving vector-borne disease (VBD) transmission, transmission risk is primarily studied …

The human infectious reservoir of Plasmodium falciparum is governed by transmission
efficiency during vector-human contact and mosquito biting preferences. Understanding …

As vectors of disease, mosquitoes are a global threat to human health. The Anopheles
mosquito is the deadliest mosquito species as the insect vector of the malaria-causing …

The overwhelming dominance of Duffy blood group negativity among most people living in
sub-Saharan Africa has been considered the basis of their protection from endemic …

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 …
