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

Parasites must overcome host immunity and change hosts for dispersal. Therefore,
seemingly odd behaviors of parasitized animals, like those exhibited by “Zombie ants” or the …

Reflecting a decade's worth of changes, Human Safety and Risk Management, Second
Edition contains new chapters addressing safety culture and models of risk as well as an …

Mosquitoes are vectors for multiple infectious human diseases and use a variety of sensory
cues (olfactory, temperature, humidity and visual) to locate a human host. A comprehensive …

Vector-borne pathogens may alter traits of their primary hosts in ways that influence the
frequency and nature of interactions between hosts and vectors. Previous work has reported …

The epidemiology of vector‐borne pathogens is largely determined by the host‐choice
behaviour of their vectors. Here, we investigate whether a Plasmodium infection renders the …

This book synthesizes the flourishing field of anthropology of infectious disease in a critical,
biocultural framework. Leading medical anthropologist Merrill Singer holistically unites the …

The human infectious reservoir of Plasmodium falciparum is governed by transmission
efficiency during vector-human contact and mosquito biting preferences. Understanding …

As vectors of disease, mosquitoes are a global threat to human health. The Anopheles
mosquito is the deadliest mosquito species as the insect vector of the malaria-causing …

Mosquito-borne diseases are a major burden on human health worldwide and their
eradication through vector control methods remains challenging. In particular, the success of …
