Host preferences of blood-feeding mosquitoes
W Takken, NO Verhulst - Annual review of entomology, 2013 - annualreviews.org
Mosquitoes use plant sugars and vertebrate blood as nutritional resources. When searching
for blood hosts, some mosquitoes express preferential behavior for selected species. Here …
