Abstract Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are a key threat for millions of people worldwide,
since they act as vectors for devastating pathogens and parasites. In this scenario, vector …

Human pathogens that are transmitted by insects are a global problem, particularly those
vectored by mosquitoes; for example, malaria parasites transmitted by Anopheles species …

Climate change is putting the fate of ectothermic animals at stake because their body
temperature closely tracks environmental temperatures. The ability to adjust thermal limits …

Malaria vector control relies heavily on the use of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) and
