Mosquitoes use plant sugars and vertebrate blood as nutritional resources. When searching
for blood hosts, some mosquitoes express preferential behavior for selected species. Here …

Mosquitoes that act as disease vectors rely upon olfactory cues to direct several important
behaviors that are fundamentally involved in establishing their overall vectorial capacity. Of …

Background This is the second in a series of three articles documenting the geographical
distribution of 41 dominant vector species (DVS) of human malaria. The first paper …

To relate stability of malaria transmission to biologic characteristics of vector mosquitoes
throughout the world, we derived an index representing the contribution of regionally …

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

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 …

Seasonal epizootics of vector-borne pathogens infecting multiple species are ecologically
complex and difficult to forecast. Pathogen transmission potential within the host community …

Feeding behaviour of the malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis Patton (Diptera: Culicidae)
was monitored for 12 months (March 2003− February 2004) in the Konso District of southern …

Background The most important factor for effective zooprophylaxis in reducing malaria
transmission is a predominant population of a strongly zoophilic mosquito, Anopheles …

A central theoretical goal of epidemiology is the construction of spatial models of disease
prevalence and risk, including maps for the potential spread of infectious disease. We …
