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 …

To enable a better understanding of the overwhelming alterations in the invasive mosquito
species (IMS), methodical insight into the population and environmental factors that govern …

Background Producing high quality sterile males is vital in Aedes aegypti rear-and-release
birth control strategies. Larval diets, rearing temperatures, and their interactions determine …

The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of bait stations and foliar applications
containing attractive toxic sugar baits (ATSB) and eugenol to control Aedes albopictus. At …

There is increasing interest in rearing modified mosquitoes for mass release to control vector-
borne diseases, particularly Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti for suppression of dengue …

Sugar is the main source of energy for the activities of mosquitoes; however, information on
the vital sugar feeding of Aedes albopictus in the field is scanty and often anecdotal. Using …

Sugar feeding is a common behaviour of male and female mosquitoes, sand flies, and other
Dipteran vectors. In some species it is essential to one or both sexes; in others it is …

Despite the growing awareness that larval competition can influence adult mosquito life
history traits including susceptibility to pathogens, the net effect of larval competition on …

Summary The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus is a major public health concern
because of its invasive success and its ability to transmit pathogens. Given the low …

Several studies have examined how climatic variables such as temperature and
precipitation may affect life history traits in mosquitoes that are important to disease …
