Wild-type female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that mate with male A. aegypti mosquitoes that have been infected with the wAlbB strain of Wolbachia pipientis bacteria produce nonviable offspring owing t...

Researchers say carbon emissions change in Queensland tropical rainforests may have global climate implications

In the rapidly disappearing Atlantic Forest, mosquitoes are adapting to a human-dominated landscape. Scientists found that many species now prefer feeding on people rather than the forest’s diverse wildlife. This behavior dramatically raises the risk of spreading dangerous viruses such as dengue and Zika. The findings reveal how deforestation can quietly reshape disease dynamics.

Mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue threaten billions of people and cause the death of hundreds of thousands annually. Recent studie...

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a zoonotic, mosquito-borne virus, has broad circulation across the Central Indo-Pacific biogeographical region (CIPBR) and has recently expanded dramatically within...

Anopheles funestus s.s. is a major human malaria vector across Africa. To study its evolution, especially under vector control pressure, we sequenced 656 modern specimens (collected 2014 to 2018) and ...

Scientific Reports - Discovery and description of a novel mode of oviposition in the mosquito genus Culex

Oropouche virus has recently become an urgent threat to public health in Central and South America. OROV is mainly transmitted by biting midges; however, some public health agencies and scientific sou...

Mechanistic modelling of the effects of diurnal temperature variation on Plasmodium falciparum sporogony indicates this variation is important in the laboratory, but further validation is required to ...

Mosquitoes drink nectar (not just blood), but do they prefer certain plants? A new research review shows mosquitoes do indeed have nectar preferences.

Abstract. Competition between mosquito species during the larval phase is a well-established mechanism structuring container mosquito communities, with inv

The unprecedented investment in malaria control since the early 2000s has averted an enormous amount of malaria burden. However, case incidence rates in Africa have flattened, and with a rapidly growi...

Genetic alterations may help mosquitoes adjust to climate change, shifting the distribution of mosquito-borne disease in a warming planet.
